Brett Murtagh Eliminated in 48th Place (AU$20,000)

Brett Murtagh has been eliminated in the hand of the tournament so far.

Our reporter caught the hand with the flop of {q-Diamonds}

.First Noah Schwartz checked to Murtagh who moved in his final 89,000 chips. Kelly Kim, who was the other player to see the flop called Murtagh's all in.

Schwartz then proceeded to move all in himself for 253,000, covering Kim by just 24,000 chips. Kim understandably went into the tank, and then shocked the crowd who were expecting a fold, by calling.

The players tabled their cards:

Murtagh {k-Clubs}

for an overpair and flush draw.
Schwartz {2-Spades}

for bottom set.
Kim {q-Clubs}

for top set.

Kim was in front but would need to dodge the flush outs for Murtagh in order to scoop the pot. The {8-Hearts}

turn was all clear, and the case {q-Hearts}

would see Kim make quads.

"Now we're back in the game" gloated Kim as he raked in a 600,000 chip pot. Schwartz was left with just 24,000. Murtagh was eliminated.

Schwartz would double back through shortly after and now sits at around 50,000.
