Darren Grant, Yde van Deutekom Eliminated

Nicholas Sliwinski has become the executioner of his table. On back-to-back hands, he took out two opponents. First he eliminated Darren Grant by raising all in on a board of {10-Spades} {8-Spades} {4-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} after Grant bet 300,000. Grant made the call with {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} and was way behind Sliwinski's {9-Spades} {7-Spades} jack-high straight. Grant couldn't fill up when the river came {3-Clubs}.

Sliwinski needed a bit more help to take out van Deutekom. Sliwinski raised preflop to 60,000, then called when van Deutekom reraised all in for about 300,000. Sliwinski made the call with {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, only to see van Deutekom show {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}. A queen on the river shipped the pot to Sliwinski and sent van Deutekom home.

Sliwinski now has about 2.5 million in chips. His sister is on the rail, and told the female dealer who dealt both hands to Sliwinski, "If my brother doesn't marry you, I will."
