Coverage of the 2010 Aussie Millions on GSN rolled on Saturday night, with Paul Khoury and Grub Smith giving the call of Day 2 of the Main Event. A total of 746 players entered the AUD $10,000 buy-in tournament and the field had been slashed to 294. Full Tilt Poker sponsors the series and new episodes air on Saturdays at 9:00pm ET on GSN.
Antonis Kambouroglou raised to 4,200 pre-flop with a wired pair of jacks and 2008 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Europe Main Event champion John Juanda moved all-in over the top for 42,500 with A-J. Kambouroglou quickly called and the board of 3-3-6-4-2 was no help to the Full Tilt pro, who was now free to enjoy all that Melbourne, Australia has to offer.
Also featured during Saturday’s coverage was Gus Hansen, who called a raise to 3,200 pre-flop from Arthur Basha with 8-5 of spades. Khoury noted, “That’s a very Gus hand.” Sure enough, the flop came 3-8-9, hitting Hansen with middle pair, and Basha bet out 6,600 with A-J. Hansen called and the turn was a deuce. Once again, Basha led out for 6,600 and once again, Hansen called behind. The river was a seven. Basha bet his usual 6,600 – this time into a pot of 50,000 – and Hansen called getting 9:1 on his money.
