Another Aussie Millions update that recaps on Davor Derek’s victory in the Mixed-Max event, and another sterling performance by Ole Schemion, as he leads the final eight players in the $100,000 Challenge.

One of the things that makes the Aussie Millions such a wonderful event is the world’s greatest players are all attracted to the allure of a $10,600 Main Event, $100,000 Challenge and $250,000 LK Boutique Challenge.

Two of these three events are currently in full effect. The Main Event attracted 648 players and as we move into the third day of action Brian Rast is performing well at the head of the final 58-players.

The $100,000 Challenge has reached the final table and once again it’s that German battering ram, Ole Schemion, who is leading the way. This guy is something else. The conqueror of Phil Ivey (KQs>AJo) holds 1.8m chips, with Jason Mo and Erik Seidel the only other two players sitting behind chips stacks towering over a million.

Day 1 saw 63 entrants leap through the gate and Mo was the chip leader when all was said and done. David Steicke bought in nice and fresh on Day 2, and the likes of Fabian Quoss, Richard Yong, Sorel Mizzi, Bryn Kenney, Brian Rast and Doug Polk all fired a second bullet – only Yong will turn that investment into a profit.

The field size ended up reading 70-entrants, six down on 2014’s number. The final eight players are all guaranteed $310,000, and the winner will bank $1.8m.
