Its hotting up downunder as we are into day 4 of the Aussie Millions Poker.  Its the penultimate day and we are now down to the last 11 poker players and the pressure is being turned up.

Grant Levy, the Australian favorite, has just been eliminated.  Levy will take the 13th place at this years Aussie Millions Poker Championship and will take home $AUD 65,000 for his effort – not bad at all!

Levy had nines, his opponent had ace-king, then the board did Levy in on the flop and the turn – ow that’s a brutal blow to wear it hurts the most!  So it played into his opponents hands – queen, queen, jack, jack on the flop and turn – its a tough call to be beaten by the board.  These things happen in poker, c’est la vie!

Earlier Dixon Ruecker was head to head with Sam Capra in a big showdown that was for over a million dollars in chips.  Capra had a pair of sixes (6d-6s), a brave move indeed with this hand, not for the faint hearted.  Ruecker meanwhile had King-Jack (Kc-Jh), the board came down with Qc, 5s and 3c on the flop.

Could Ruecker get a stronger pair, a flush or a straight?  Or maybe Capra would get a trip?
5d and 9c came on the turn and river – giving Capra the win with his pair!  Who would have thought a pair of sixes could win so much?

This left Ruecker with very few chips in his stack – it would only be a matter of time…unless a miracle happened… and there’s always a chance of that in poker…

Later Ruecker, with his short stack, got blown out by Stewart Scott with a flush.  Ruecker got flushed by Scott and ends up in 12th place at this years Aussie Millions Poker Championship.  He collects $AUD 80,000 on his way out through the door.

You gotta love it!  This year all the big name poker pro’s seem to have been knocked out – That’s what brings new players to the game of poker – The chance to win big!
