It was a cooler deep in the Main Event, with Wan flopping a set and rivering a full house on a runout, to deny Del Vecchio an historic third consecutive final table here at the Aussie Millions.

He is eliminated in tenth place for A$123,000.

"I chipped up in every single spot that I could and and then ran kings into aces," said Del Vecchio. "This really hurts. When you go deep in these tournaments there's so much emotion to it.

"I felt like I could have made a crazy piece of history, even if I just top sevened. It would have been so nice. It was going so well at the bginning of the day, and it felt like my dream was going to come through.

Del Vecchio explained that he had a flight booked for tomorrow, and that earlier he was looking forward to having to reschedule it. Now, however, his plans have changed.

"I'm going to be on a 15-hour flight on stone-tilt," said a visibly frustrated Del Vecchio. "The ramifications of this bustout are brutal."
