2:55pm: Ivey triples
Level 7: Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000)
If there's anyone who can recover from six big blinds in the LK Boutique $250,000 Challenge, it's Phil Ivey. The man that everyone fears most, and the winner of this event three of the last four years, Ivey is now a force again after tripling up his short stack.
Ivey was blinded down to just 36,000 when he moved all in from the cutoff. Connor Drinan flat-called on the button before Fedor Holz raised from the small blind to isolate the all-in player. It worked as Drinan got out of the way.
Ivey tabled [qc][jc] but would need to improve against Holz's [ac][ks].
The flop was [4h][7c][6c] and Ivey picked up a flush draw which then connected on the [4c] turn. Ivey wouldn't want to see any more clubs with Holz holding the ace, but the river bricked the [3d].
Ivey is now back up to around 120,000 and has a pulse once again in this tournament.
2:50pm: Turn jam from O'Dwyer
Level 7: Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000)
Mike McDonald opened to 15,000 on the button and Steve O'Dwyer defended his big blind.
On the [9s][4c][7s] flop O'Dwyer check-called 18,000 before the dealer turned the [td].
O'Dwyer checked again and McDonald continued for 40,000. After eyeing McDonald's stack and contemplating his decision, O'Dwyer moved all in.
McDonald waited a few moments but opted to throw his hand away.
2:35pm: Cards in the air
Level 7: Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000)
The cards are now in the air on Day 2 of the LK Boutique $250,000 Challenge.
The LK Boutique $250,000 Challenge set to crown a champion!
The final day of the 2016 Aussie Millions will bring the conclusion of the largest buy-in tournament of the series - the LK Boutique $250,000 Challenge.
Yesterday saw 15 entrants in this event and a short day of just six levels would reduce that to just 12 players. GPI Player of the Year Bryon Kaverman leads the way with Fedor Holz close behind, although Holz did have to fire a second bullet into the prize pool to make it this far. Steve O'Dwyer, Brian Rast, $100k Challenge champion Fabian Quoss and the immortal Phil Ivey are also still in the field, although Ivey has some work to do to win his pet event as he enters today as the short stack.
We have word that there has been one late entry today with Mike "Timex" McDonald jumping in with a fresh stack of 250,000. Blinds will kick off at 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000-chip ante.
We'll be providing live updates throughout the day, with live streaming hosted by Jason Somerville over on RunItUp.TV. Stay tuned!
