Srdjan Mitrovic moved all in from the small blind for roughly 570,000 and Tom Grigg made the call from the big blind.

Mitrovic: {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Grigg: {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}

With Mitrovic in horrible shape being dominated by the fellow PokerStars.net Online Qualifier, the {4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop didn't change much apart from giving both players a few backdoor draws.

The {Q-Hearts} on the turn left Mitrovic with a jack or a nine to stay alive, but when the {2-Diamonds} landed on the river, Mitrovic was sent to the rail in 3rd place for a collect of $43,794 as both Grigg and Danny 'Brotha D' Leaoasavaii enter heads up play.

Grigg: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Leaoasavaii: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The dealer spread the {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades} board to see Grigg double through to 1,400,000 as Leaoasavaii slips to 1,950,000 in chips.
