Mark Betts Eliminated in 9th Place (AU$120,000)
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Mark Betts opened for 75,000 from under the gun only to have Patrik Antonius three-bet to 200,000 from the cutoff. The button and both blinds folded, and then Betts moved all in for 580,000. Antonius snap-called and the cards were turned up:
Antonius: 
Betts: 
It was a bad spot for Betts and both he and Antonius shared a king, but the Finn's ace had him way out in front. It got even worse when the 
flop paired that ace and left Betts in need of runner-runner. The 
turn kept him alive as a queen would give him a Broadway straight, but it would not come in as the 
blanked on the river.
With that, we're down to two four-handed tables (last year's field combined to a single table at the final eight players).
