Day 3 is the day when we are playing down to the money, in the start of the day we had two players who had the chance of getting there. Christian Heich, the german player who won the first side event here in the Aussie Millions 2009. Veli-Pekka Penttinen who has showed us how to stay alive as a shortstack during the whole Main Event, incredible!

Day 3 has been running for about 8 hours, the bubble has bursted, and guess what? Both of our RedKings players made it into the money! Veli-Pekka was of course very happy with this, since he didn’t need to pay for his buy-in, everything now was a very big win. Veli-Pekka struggled through with his shortstack and when it was 47 players left, Veli-Pekka announces that he is all in, he gets a instant call from David Docherty, who shows the monster AA, Veli-Pekka shows A8, he got one 8 on the river, but sadly he has to leave his seat. The good thing is that he also leaves his seat AU$20.000 richer! Congratulations to Veli-Pekka, we will try to get some comments from him later on.

Now. what has happened to Christian Heich? Is he still in?….

Yes he is! Christian has been playing some awesome poker during this Main Event, and today he has really showed us that he is right now one of the top poker players in the world! There are 43 players still in the tournament, Christian has a mountain of chips, worth 570.000! The average stack is 320.000, so where will this end?

Well, if you follow this blog you will soon now!

PS. Only one hour until EPT Deauville by Barriere Poker day 2 starts, where we have Toni Ojala starting with a nice stack!
