Andrew Hinrichsen could not get anything going today as he was just eliminated. The players at his table said it was quite sick what happened, but it wasn't quite clear how it exactly went down. One thing is for sure though, the 2011 WSOPE bracelet winner is no longer in the tournament.

"How sick is that?" Billy Argyros just yelled across the room after he took a big bad beat from Luke Edwards. Argyros was knocked out, but sat motionless for about a minute before eventually leaving his seat. The hand he lost is what we would describe as 'sick'.
Billy Jordanou raised to 800 pre flop after which a player three-bet to 2,000. Luke Edwards was next to act and put out a four-bet to 4,200. Tam Truong was on the button and folded, and Argyros moved all in from the small blind for just 6,950. After Jordanou and the other player folded it was Edwards who produced a wry smile.
"He was messing around!" Argyros laughed as Edwards reluctantly put in the call.

Argyros was in great shape, but the window card already gave Edwards a better chance, since it was the 
. The flop was completed with the 
and 
. Edwards was still looking for another five or running straight or flush cards. On the turn the 
hit and Edwards put up a straight draw. The river brought the 
and he took all of Argyros' chips. At this point a huge crowd had gathered, most of which started laughing about the outcome of this hand.
Argyros was far from happy, and complained about his recent tournament bad luck. Edwards has nothing to complain about as he's now up to around 50,000 chips.

Didier Guerin was one of the big stacks in the room, but things turned around quickly for the young pro. Two big pots cost him his tournament life, and he gave us a brief update of what happened.
First he three-bet squeezed from the small blind with 
off suit. Tam Truong clicked it back and Guerin moved all in. Truong called with and doubled up.
A few hands later there was a raise and three callers, after which Guerin squeezed again. This time he had pocket jacks and Billy Jordanou put in a very big four-bet. Guerin had around 25 big blinds and decided to go for it. Unfortunately for him he ran into pocket kings, and Guerin did not improve his hand.

Joe Hachem has only played a few hours, but that does not mean he can't be the chip leader. The biggest winner in Australian poker history was just the first player to get his stack into six digits, as he's up to 100,000.

flop with two diamonds Hachem got his stack into the pot with
