Bounty Event #10 is Down to the Final Table
In 15 minutes from now at 5 p.m. local time, the final table of the A$1,650 Bounty Event #10 of the 2016 Aussie Millions Poker Championship will get underway at the poker room of the Crown Entertainment Complex. A field of 349 entrants has been whittled down to its last eight players after Day 2 resumed with 32 hopefuls.
They were gathered on four eight-handed tables and the shootout format determined the final two of each to set up the final table. Among those to cash were 2010 Aussie Millions Main Event champion Tyron Krost (32nd), Jonathan Karamalikis (31st), Matt Salsberg (22nd), Andrew Hinrichsen (21st) and Billy "The Croc" Argyros (9th).
Leading the remaining field is Xixiang Luo from China with 1,190,000 closely followed by Brendon Rubie (1,085,000). Four of the finalists are from Australia whereas Joris Ruijs (806,000), Michael Dix (425,000) and UK's Stephen Woodhead (239,000) want to avoid a home victory. Action resumes with blinds of 6,000-12,000 and a running ante of 2,000.
