Max Pescatori Eliminated in 10th Place ($135,000)

Upstairs at the feature table, Max "The Italian Pirate" Pescatori has just been eliminated from the tournament by local favorite Antonio Casale.

Pescatori opened the pot with a 56,000 pre-flop raise and Casale countered with a 135,000 re-raise. Max made the call and the flop came jack-high with three spades. Casale then open-shoved, putting Pescatori to a decision for all of his chips and Max made the call, tabling {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for ace-high and a flush draw; Casale revealed {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Needing an ace, a queen, a spade or running straight cards to stay alive, Max watched as the board blanked out leaving him with ace-high and 10th place prize money ($135,000 AUD).

With the win, Casale improved to 2 million in chips.
