Hia Holds All the Cards Ahead of Pot Limit Omaha Final Table
Christine Hia sits with more than a quarter of the chips in play at the start of the Event #5: Pot Limit Omaha final table. Hia has added a second Aussie Millions cash to her name in this event, four years after cashing in the same event in 20th place.
She's already locked up more than that today, with the final nine guaranteed A$7,085.
Here's how the final table looks, with Hia leading the way:
| Seat | Name | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Michael Seymour | Australia | 171,000 | 21 |
| 2 | Johan Dalessandri | Australia | 260,000 | 33 |
| 3 | Dylan Kii | Australia | 395,000 | 49 |
| 4 | Paul Hockin | New Zealand | 302,000 | 38 |
| 5 | Peter Brasile | Australia | 70,000 | 9 |
| 6 | Christine Hia | Malaysia | 856,000 | 107 |
| 7 | William Mitchell | Australia | 230,000 | 29 |
| 8 | Ryan Hong | Australia | 322,000 | 40 |
| 9 | Michael Hahn | United States | 273,000 | 34 |
This is Michael Seymour's fourth Aussie Millions cash in four year including a third place in this event in 2017 for A$32,600. Another player who hastasted the final table before in this event not once, but twice is Johan Dalessandri, who finished third last year for A$26,225 and fifth back in 2014 for A$18,000.
Meanwhile, Ryan Hong finished fifth in this event last year for A$22,050. Michael Hahn finished 21st in the Aussie Millions Main Event last year, and this is only his second-ever cash outside of the United States.
The winner of this event will take home A$70,115. Here are the remaining payouts:
| Place | Payout (AUD) | Payout (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $70,115 | $50,483 |
