1:00pm: Abernathy flush with chips
Level 13: Blinds 1,200-2,400 (400)

Samantha Abernathy opened with a raise from the cutoff to 5,500. Her opponent was Joe Sandaev who raised to 13,500 on the button. Action passed back to Abernathy who made the call and they took a saw a flop of [8s][3d][5s].

Abernathy checked and Sandaev bet 14,000. Abernathy made the call and the turn produced the [kd]. Again the action was check-bet-call, this time for 28,000.

The river was the [4d] and Abernathy thought for a moment before checking for a third time. This time Sandaev checked behind, much to the annoyance of Abernathy who flipped over a deceptive flush with her [qd][td].

Sandaev breathed a sigh of relief and mucked as Abernathy took down the pot with a smile to climb to 320,000.

12:45pm: Gruissem KOs one
Level 13: Blinds 1,200-2,400 (400)

Phillip Gruissem is off to a great start after eliminating an opponent in the first orbit of play.

The player raised to 5,200 from under the gun plus one and it folded around to Gruissem in the big blind. The German asked to see his opponent's stack and then considered his options.

Gruissem decided to put the other player all in, tossing in a stack of 5,000 denomination chips to cover his competitor's 31,000 stack. The player snapped it off to put himself at risk and the cards went on their backs.

Gruissem: [kh][ts]
Opponent: [as][jc]

The player had a good shot at doubling up and he managed to avoid danger on the [2h][3h][2h] flop. The [ks] turn, however, paired Gruissem and the [5c] river bricked off to see his pair of kings hold.

The player exited the tournament area as Gruissem climbed to just shy of 300,000.

12:30pm: Cards in the air on Day 3
Level 13: Blinds 1,200-2,400 (400)

We're back in the Crown Poker Room for Day 3 of the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event. 150 players have returned to continue their battle, with just 80 of those set to be rewarded with a profit. The bubble is set to burst today and by the end of the day we will have a pretty good idea of our contenders for the Aussie Millions title.

Joel Williams has given final instructions to the players and the cards are now back in the air. We'll be playing seven 90-minute levels today with a dinner break, which will see play wrap up at 1:30am this evening.
