Mishel Anunu has recently lost a big portion of his chip stack. The hand we witnessed started with Anunu opening to 900. The player directly on Anunu's left three-bet to 2,000 and the action folded back around to Anunu, who made the call.
On the 
flop, Anunu checked and then called a 2,000-chip bet. The turn would see Anunu again check and this time take his time before calling a bet of 5,400.
The board was completed with a on the river and once again Anunu tapped the table. A quick bet of 11,000 was made and it was back to Anunu. After some heavy thinking, Anunu made the call.
At showdown, Anunu's opponent turned over 
- enough to send Anunu's cards into the muck.

We recently saw Dinesh Alt get eliminated from the tournament. The 2013 ANZPT Sydney Main Event champion committed all his chips in with 
on a three-spade flop. Unfortunately his opponent had the 
and after missing his straight flush draw on the turn and river, he was sent to the rail.
On a neighbouring table, Nick Oiberman was also eliminated after he called down a hand with top pair against his opponent who had flopped a straight.

Tony Tartaglia is on the rail and he was kind enough to recall the details of his bustout...and it was a little ugly.
Tartaglia was holding ace-four in a multiway pot as action was checked on a K-9-4 flop. A repeat four was a great card for Tartaglia as the chips went into the middle against his opponent's ace-nine, but a devastating nine-ball on the river saw Tartaglia's tournament brought to an abrupt end.
