Marwan Nassif Eliminated in 19th Place (AUD $1,000); Jim Sachinidis Eliminated in 18th Place (AUD $1,500)

Christopher Brammer has just nailed a double elimination to move up to 135,000 in chips after taking out Marwan Nassif and Jim Sachinidis.

All the money was in the middle before the flop and we got there as the cards were tabled:

Brammer: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Sachinidis: {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Nassif: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The case king came out on the flop of {2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, giving Brammer top set which held all the way as the turn and river bricked out {3-Diamonds}, {10-Spades}.

Nassif was the shortest of the short stacks, putting him in 19th place while Sachinidis was the first to reach the pay jump, bowing out in 18th.

Phillip Edwards Eliminated in 21st Place (AUD $1,000)

The rate of eliminations is astounding, no matter where we turn we seem to see another player heading to the rail - this time, we caught Phillip Edwards' bustout at the hands of Joey Baker.

We only just managed to catch the board of {7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} with Edwards tabling {8-?}{5-?} for two pair, but he had been vanquished by Baker's {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

Jonas Esbo Eliminated in 23rd Place (AUD $1,000)

Another all-in-preflop-bustout situation came about a short time later; this time is was Jonas Esbo who moved all in with {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} but found himself dominated by Burgin Stephan's {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

Stephan held all the way down the first four on the board which read {8-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and then jagged the {a-Clubs} on the river to seal the deal, sending Esbo to the rail in 23rd place.
