Peter Pratis Eliminated in 15th Place ($1,704)

Peter Pratis - 15th Place
Under the gun, Martin Cardno moved all in for 57,800. Peter Pratis was next, and he moved all in for his remaining 30,000 chips as well. There was still action though, as the betting passed around to Matt Hawker in the small blind. He went into the tank for a little while before finally deciding he had enough chips to make the call. With two players all in, the three hands were opened up.

Showdown:
Cardno: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Pratis: {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}
Hawker: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}

Board: {5-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {4-Hearts} {3-Spades} {K-Diamonds}. Cardno's big pair held up, and he raked in a big pot, nearly tripling up to 150,000. Hawker has been taken back down a peg to 65,000. Coming out worst in that confrontation, Peter Pratis has been knocked out in 15th place.
