Minieri Receives "Sick Beat";Chrysanthopoulos Eliminated

On the very next hand, Michael Chrysanthopoulos found himself all in for just 500 and in need of a miracle. Fortunately, on this occasion, Minieiri opted to raise it up to 8,000 with 3-4, ultimately dominated by Chrysanthopoulos's J-4.

A 5-5-3 flop looked to be the end of Chrysanthopoulos, but running kings handed him a lifeline and kept him in the event.

"That's a sick beat, sick, sick," bemoaned the Italian, hopefully tongue in cheek.

However, the miracle comeback didn't occur, Chrysanthopoulos eliminated shortly after when he ran Q-J into the A-J of Cory Albertson with an emphatic A-J-2-8-4 board.
