In 15 minutes from now at 5 p.m. local time, the final table of the A$1,650 Bounty Event #10 of the 2016 Aussie Millions Poker Championship will get underway at the poker room of the Crown Entertainment Complex. A field of 349 entrants has been whittled down to its last eight players after Day 2 resumed with 32 hopefuls.
They were gathered on four eight-handed tables and the shootout format determined the final two of each to set up the final table. Among those to cash were 2010 Aussie Millions Main Event champion Tyron Krost (32nd), Jonathan Karamalikis (31st), Matt Salsberg (22nd), Andrew Hinrichsen (21st) and Billy "The Croc" Argyros (9th).
Leading the remaining field is Xixiang Luo from China with 1,190,000 closely followed by Brendon Rubie (1,085,000). Four of the finalists are from Australia whereas Joris Ruijs (806,000), Michael Dix (425,000) and UK's Stephen Woodhead (239,000) want to avoid a home victory. Action resumes with blinds of 6,000-12,000 and a running ante of 2,000.

A couple of small pots have been traded without any major showdown. Brian Payne started the final table as shortest stack with 16 big blinds and hasn't made a move yet, Stephen Woodhead was at 20 big blinds.
At the start of the tournament, randomly selected players were assigned a bounty and for the knockout, a prize of A$1,000 was up for grabs. Only Dennis Huntly remains with said prize up for grabs, he will get the money if he takes down the tournament though.
The first real confrontation of the final tables started with Michael Dix making it 27,000 on the button.
Chip leader Xixiang Luo bumped it up 39,000 more from the small blind and after Joris Ruijs gave up the big blind, Dix called.
Lou wasted little time, pushing all in on the flop. Faced with a decision for all his 380,000-chip stack, Dix folded.
