Tim Marsters Eliminated in 16th Place ($9,144)

Edmonds took the lead on the flop, catching a crucial pair to overtake the shorter stack. No nine on the turn or river leaves us with 15 left.
A Puzzlement ...
John Zindo wasn't even in today's field, which makes it all the more stranger. Thankfully, we were able to help solve the case.
Turns out that Zindo is a close friend of Akkari's. Akkari had Zindo's Crown Casino membership card in his pocket and it was this card he gave to Crown staff when he collected his winnings - not his own.
This was picked up by the PokerNews team when our blogger cross-checked the seating lists and it wasn't until Akkari received a phone call from the Poker Room that he realised his mistake.
No harm done though - the money went to the right man. Case closed!
