Thomas Levine and Mark Radoja got their chips in against each other. Levine had while Radoja had . We're unsure when the chips went in, but the board ran out and Levine busted Radoja with the rivered full house, rendering Radoja's flopped flush useless.
Levine also won a sizable pot off Samuli Sipila. Sipila, who won another omaha tournament here earlier this Aussie Millions, raised to 3,500 and Levine called in position.

Yevgeniy Timoshenko is no longer with us and Phil Laak was kind enough to tell us his bust out hand.
According to Laak he was on the button and Timoshenko and Raj Ramakrishnan were in the blinds on a flop.
All three players got all the chips in the middle on a turn with Laak and Ramakrishnan holding for Broadway. Timoshenko had for a smaller straight with a diamond redraw but did not get there and Laak and Ramakrishnan chopped up his chips.
We caught the action on the turn with a sizable pot brewing in a three-way hand between Jonathan Abdellafif in middle position, a player sitting in the cutoff and Dzmitry Urbanovich on the button.
With the board reading Abdellatif had checked it over to the cutoff, who fired out a half pot bet of 5,000. Urbanovich called, as did Abdellatif keeping the action three-way to the river.
Abdellatif now led for 17,500 and while the player in the cutoff looked interested the 20-second shot clock ran down and he folded with just 2 seconds to spare, as did Urbanovich.
"Nice bluff mate," said the cutoff.
"You can call next time and see for yourself," retorted Abdellatif.
"Nah, the book says fold," replied the cutoff. Abdellatif seemed happy enough with the result so maybe he is reading some different literature.

Bryn Kenney is keeping himself in contention and has just taken down a hand against Sam Greenwood.
Preflop it was Greenwood who was the initial aggressor, opening to 2,500 from the cutoff. Kenney, sitting on the button, threw in a tickly little re-raise to 4,000 in total that had Greenwood scratching his head but he did call and it was off to the flop of .
