Andrew Mercaldi - 15th Place
Andrew Mercaldi - 15th Place
Andrew Mercaldi raised it up to 45,000 from under the gun, before Steve Topakas moved all in from the small blind. Mercaldi made the call.

Mercaldi: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Topakas: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Mercaldi hits the road in 15th place as Topakas claims another one as he storms up the chip count leaderboard to now sit with 435,000 chips.

Dhiya Majeed Eliminated in 17th Place (AU$6,579); Thomas Lindbjerg Eliminated in 16th Place (AU$6,579)

Dhiya Majeed - 17th Place
Dhiya Majeed - 17th Place
A single pot has resulted in a double elimination by Steve Topakas. The recently-crippled Dhiya Majeed opened the pot from the button with an all-in raise. He had barely put his chips into the middle when Thomas Lindbjerg, the small blind, announced that he was all in. Before he could even finish his sentence, Topakas moved all in over both of them.

Majeed: {A-Hearts} {7-Spades}
Lindbjerg: {A-Spades} {3-Hearts}
Topakas: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}

There was a bit of a sweat for Topakas when the flop came {10-Clubs} {J-Spades} {8-Clubs}, giving Majeed an inside straight draw. But it was no worries for Topakas when the board completed {J-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. Topakas eliminated both players, and since Majeed was the shorter stack he was deemed to be the 17th-place finisher.

Rodney Snider - 18th Place
Rodney Snider - 18th Place
Rodney Snider was crippled after running his pocket eights into the pocket aces of Scott Peters, before busting out in 18th place at the hands of Sam Khouiss.

Snider was then down to his last 48,000 chips and moved them all in from the small blind, with Sam Khouiss making a pot-committed call in the big blind.

Snider: {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Khouiss: {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Despite being dominated, Khouiss spiked a pair on the board of {5-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} to send Snider to the rail with AU$6,579 for his efforts.

Majeed Crippled

Dhiya Majeed started the day with 13,700 chips -- fewer than seven big blinds. He managed to turn that into a run to the final two tables but now finds himself crippled. He opened for 50,000 from middle position, then was faced with a big decision when action passed to David Griffiths in the big blind. Griffiths moved all in for about 150,000 total. Majeed made the call with {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}, leaving himself 45,000 behind if he lost the hand. He found himself racing Griffiths' {8-Hearts} {8-Spades}. The flop came eight-high, {3-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}. Griffiths had a good set when a third heart hit the turn, {9-Hearts}, giving Majeed outs to a heart flush. It didn't come. The river was the {Q-Spades}.

Griffiths stack is up to 320,000 as a result of the hand. Majeed needs now to find more of his earlier short-stack magic. He has only 45,000 remaining chips.

Jim Mastorakos Eliminated in 19th Place (AU$5,482)

Jim Mastorakos - 19th Place
Jim Mastorakos - 19th Place
Paul Rochford has re-taken the chip lead and is punishing his table with his big stack. He opened for 40,000 from the button, prompting Jim Mastorakos to call all in for less. Rochford showed a pair, {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs}, against Mastorakos' {J-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}. Mastorakos was racing to stay in the tournament but came up short on a board of {9-Spades} {5-Spades} {A-Clubs} {6-Spades} {K-Spades}. Despite the four-flush on board, neither player had a spade. Rochford's pair held up, sending Mastorakos to the rail in 19th place. He collected AU$5,482.

Emotional Ride for Ismail

It's been an emotional few minutes for Ismail Ismail. First he found himself all in holding {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} against the {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} of chip leader Christian Heich.

Not a bad position to be in for Ismail, that is, until the community cards landed {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{K-Spades}{Q-Hearts} to make Heich a straight. However remarkably the {10-Diamonds} fell on the river to give Ismail a straight as well and both players chopped it up!

The two tangled again a few hands later, with Heich taking {Q-Spades}{8-Spades} into battle against Ismail's {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. This time Ismail was able to hang on as the board was spread {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

Ismail doubles up to 146,000 with Heich falling back to 365,000.

Jason White Eliminated in 20th Place (AU$5,482)

Jason White - 20th place
Jason White - 20th place
Sam Khouiss is feeling just fine. He opened for 40,000 before action passed to Jason White in late position, who moved in for 67,000. Khouiss made the call with {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}. White showed {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}, at which point a player in-between White and Khouiss mentioned the he had folded {A-?}{Q-?}. No matter -- the flop came {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}. White needed an eight to survive and didn't get it. He's out in 20th place.

Peter Denver Eliminated in 22nd Place (AU$5,482)

The beats only seem more brutal the deeper one gets in a major buy-in poker tournament. Peter Denver was all in for his tournament life and tabled the favorite: {A-Hearts} {10-Clubs} against Steven Bouya's {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}. Denver let out a groan when the flop made trips for Bouya, {8-Spades} {8-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. The turn {3-Diamonds} and river {A-Spades} were not enough help for Denver. He was eliminated in 22nd place, collecting AU$5,482 along the way.
