Domenico Lauricella Eliminated in 12th Place ($30,888)

Domenico Lauricella was knocked down and then out in a matter of minutes in a pair of hands against Barry Forrester.

In the first, Lauricella opened with a raise to 45,000 from under-the-gun and Forrester made the call from the big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Forrester checked to Lauricella who fired a 75,000 continuation bet. Forrester made the call.

Both players checked when the {7-Clubs} came on the turn and the river brought the {K-Clubs}. Forrester then took the opportunity to lead out with a 100,000 bet and Lauricella made the call, only to see Forrester turn over {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for the absolute nuts. After the hand, Lauricella was left with just 63,000 in chips.

Moments later, Lauricella found himself all in again, moving in over the top of a 57,000 preflop raise made by Panayotis Flourentzou which was called by Forrester. Lauricella's raise was only 4,000 more, so both Flourentzou and Forrester called and checked down the {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} board. At the showdown, the following hands were revealed:

Lauricella: {Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Forrester: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Flourentzou: {5-?}{5-?}

Forrester's aces were best and he raked in the pot to move to 1.1 million in chips on the day.
