The third and final day of the Aussie Millions 2012 Main Event signup period witnessed the largest number of players at 317, bringing the total field to 657.  Tuesday’s play witnessed an epic showdown between one of poker’s elite Phil Ivey and Australian cricketer and 888.com Poker spokesperson Shane Warne.

From OnlinePoker.net:

At this year’s event, Ivey (85k) and Warne (85,300) tangled in one of the biggest hands on the day after Phil Ivey was dealt 8h-6h to Warne’s pocket rockets. With three players in the hand, the flop of Ah-Qh-Jh saw Ivey lead out for 5k, only to have George Moussa raise to 10,500 with Warne calling behind. Phil Ivey then went into the tank for a minute before re-raising to 30,000, forcing Moussa out of the hand, but with Warne pushing over the top for his remaining stack.

With no help from the turn or river, Shane Warne subsequently found himself reduced to just 300 chips and was out the next hand.

Warne tweeted later in the day:

“My aces got cracked by Phil ivy’s 8 6 of hearts Flop was A,K,J of hearts – both all in.. Bang – horror I should have folded Sorry…Shattered – played great all day – 15 mins to go after 13 hours to get my A’s cracked Goodnight & thanks again for your support x.”

Other notables shown the door included Daniel Negreanu, Joe Hachem and Erik Seidel.
