Karacic Crippled

From the button, Guam's Chris Morato raised to 3,000 and was reraised to 10,000 by Seung Soo Jeon in the small blind. Australia's Simon Karacic moved all in from the big blind for 30,000 and after Morato folded, Jeon made the call.

Jeon: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Karacic: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}

Facing elimination, the exuberant Jeon punched the air and screamed in delight as the flop came {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, giving him the nut flush. With no change on the turn {9-Spades} and river {5-Diamonds} , Jeon doubles up and Karacic is severely crippled.

Bust-Outs Are Thick and Fast!

The players have had the night to consider their strategy going into play today, and have wasted no time getting involved.

The eliminations are coming in thick and fast and we will try to keep you as updated as we can.

Gerald Treglio Eliminated

American player Gerald Treglio moves all in for 12,000 from mid position and is called by Valdemar Kwaysser from the big blind.

Treglio: {K-Spades}{10-Spades}
Kwaysser: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

With a flop of {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades} Kwaysser hits his set and Treglio needs a miracle to survive, but with no help from the turn and river {3-Hearts}, {10-Diamonds}, we lose Gerald Treglio and Kwaysser collects a 25,000 pot.
