Level 11
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
The second heat of the Full Tilt Poker $25,000 Shootout Invitational is in the books. Given that the first heat was finished in about three hours, this was a marathon. The final two players left at the end of the night were Patrik Antonius and James Bord.
Thing got under way after a late start (we won't name names, but a couple of players were rather late), and after three levels of play, our first elimination had occured. Phil Ivey fell at the hands of James Bord.
Two levels later, David Benyamine exited, thanks to Patrik Antonius. We then lost Andrew Feldman, Jonathan Karamalikis, and Nikolay Evdakov, in that order. Three handed play was very interesting, thanks to Billy Argyros' table theatrics. They won't be moving on to the final table however, as he was ousted in third place.
Patrik Antonius and James Bord will be taking their chips, 67,600 and 132,400 respectively into the final table which is set to kick off Friday at 7:00 p.m. local time. Keep it locked to the Live Reporting Blog for all the action from this event and more here at the 2011 Aussie Millions.
Level 11
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Billy "The Croc" Argyros and James Bord got all the chips in the middle, with Crocky having the worst of it holding 
. Bord, with 
was a big favorite to finish things off for the night and when the board rolled out 
that's exactly what he did.
James Bord and Patrik Antonius will take their respective stacks into tomorrow night's final table.
Level 11
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
James Bord just offered Billy "The Croc" Argyros $10,000 to drink four shots of Tequila. He's accepted, but there seems to be some difficulty in getting the shots to the table and in front of the camera. Bord stated "it's good value to make sure he wouldn't throw up on the table."
Level 11
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Even though the players have very few big blinds, the play has tightened up considerably since returning from break. A quick raise seems to be enough to take down most of the pots preflop.
The blinds are certainly forcing the action, but we've yet to see any final fireworks.
