Get Ready for the Last of Three Starting Days
Another day at the 2017 Aussie Millions, another starting day. Today, it's time for Day 1c, presumably the biggest of all three starting days. With 212 players entering Day 1a and 184 on Day 1b, what will today bring?
Once more the tournament will see seven 90-minute levels of play, with 15-minute breaks in between and a 75-minute dinner break following Level 4.
Late registration is open until the end of Level 8 (the first level of Day 2), so players are able to join the hunt all throughout the day. Be sure to stay with us at PokerNews for live coverage direct from the tournament floor here in Melbourne!

Westmorland Fires River
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
We caught the action on the river in a hand between Kitty Kuo and Jordan Westmorland.
With the community cards reading 
and over 5,600 in the pot Kuo, sitting in the cutoff was facing a Westmorland river bet of 4,000. Kuo looked interested but did eventually lay it down.
“Good fold,” quipped Westmorland, scooping in the pot.

Single Bet Takes it Down
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
After spending all day yesterday playing together in the $100,000 Challenge Nick Petrangelo and David Peters are both tablemates and neighbors in today’s starting flight.
The two players are in the small and big blind respectively and following an under the gun min-raise and a call both Petrangelo and Peters came along for the ride for some four-way action.
It was all check on the 
flop so it was off to the 
turn before the first bet was made with the under the gun raiser leading out for 525. That was enough to get everyone else to bow out and the under the gun player raked in the pot.

Badziakouski Lets it Go
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Two more high rollers Mikita Badziakouski and Mike Watson are seated together for today’s starting flight, which should prove interesting.
Preflop it was Badziakouski who kicked off the action with a min-raise from middle position with an opponent sitting on the button three-betting to 625 in total. Watson folded from the small blind and after the big blind bowed out Badziakouski made the call.
Badziakouski checked the 
over to the aggressor who checked it back and the dealer burned and turned the bringing another check from Badziakouski. The button bet 850 and Badziakouski bowed out.
