Barry Forrester Eliminated in 7th Place ($83,160)

Aussie Barry Forrester has just been eliminated from the APPT Sydney Grand Final Main Event.

Ernst Hermans opened the pot with a raise to 95,000 from under-the-gun and then action folded around the table to Andrew Hiscox who three-bet to 200,000 from the hijack. Leo Boxell folded from the cutoff and when the action reached Forrester on the button, he moved all in for a total of 875,000. Hermans laid down his hand, but Hiscox made the call, tabling {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. Forrester found himself in bad shape with the {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

The {8-Spades}{A-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades} board changed nothing and Hiscox took down the pot with two pair, aces and eights, with a king kicker.

Forrester will take home $83,160 in prize money for his 7th place finish. Meanwhile, Hiscox stacked up 2.15 million in chips with the win.
