Josh Mitchell Eliminated in 19th Place for AU$11,080/US$7,500

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

At The Star Sydney when it comes to simultaneous bustouts in tournaments, the house rules are the player with the shortest stack busts first. That means as the following hand took place at the same time as the previous double bustout involving Jonathan Karamalikis and David Hanlon, Josh Mitchell managed to squeeze right between the two with a 19th place finish - good for AU$11,080.

Mitchell moved all-in from middle position for his last 72,000 and was looked up by big blind Michael Doumani and the players revealed their hole cards.

Josh Mitchell: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Michael Doumani: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Mitchell looked primed for a double with a dominating hand, but the poker gods are fickle and had other plans. The {4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop saw Mitchell stay in front, but the {6-Diamonds} turn was a sweaty one, giving Doumani additional backdoor flush outs.

The {j-Spades} river proved to be a disastrous one for Mitchell, who headed for the rail with a grimace while Doumani stacked up to 170,000.
