Hand #41 -

Nali Kaselias has the button in Seat 5.

James Broom moves all-in for the second hand in a row, this time for a total of 260,000. Grant Levy sighs and moves all-in from the small blind, having Broom covered by 17,000. The big blind folds, and it's heads-up for Broom's tournament life.

Showdown:
Broom: {5-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}
Levy: {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

Right on the flop comes an {A-Hearts} for Levy, and the board ends up reading {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {3-Spades}. Levy's pair of aces is the winner, and he eliminates James Broom in 9th place. For his work over the last three days, Broom will pocket $12,000 AUD.
