Smith, to make sure, announced he was all in and Portaro declared the call for Smith's 38,600.

Smith:
Portaro:

Smith was ahead and Portaro couldn't catch up on the board, shipping a juicy double to the high stakes superstar.

"Fortunate turn of events," Smith concluded.

will_shill

Niveau 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

With late registration still open until the start of Day 2, the 2020 Aussie Millions has reached 376 entrants on Flight 3 of the Main Event.

Aussie Millions Tournament Director Joel Williams praised his team and the role they played in this accomplishment.

"We had 800 exactly in 2018, but that was with 25 players registering on Day 2. Then last year we broke that record with 822 with around 26 on Day 2. So this year it's a real milestone.

"It's a testament to the staff, dealers and everyone involved at the Aussie Millions that we have reached this number.

"We're still expecting maybe 20-25 more tomorrow, and that's fairly fluid. Could be ten could be 40 but to hit 800 tonight is a monumental achievement."

Year	Entries	Day 1a	Day 1b	Day 1c	Day 2
2020	801*	160	264	377
2019	822	165	268	364	25
2018	800	212	196	379	13
2017	725	212	184	322	7
2016	732	180	207	337	8
2015	648	183	173	289	3
