Jarred Solomon (during Opening Event): eliminated

The list of notable notables in this year's $1,100 Pot Limit Omaha event continues to grow, with Aussies Warwick Mirzikinian, John Caridad, Vesko Zmukic, Bruno Portaro and Australian Poker Hall of Famer Gary Benson having just joined the field.

The eliminations are also popping up just as quickly, with Jamie Pickering and South Africa's Jarred Solomon both recently taking their leave. Pickering was shafted at the hands of Grant Levy after they got their money into the middle on a flop of {7-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}; Pickering was ahead with his {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} but Levy managed to jag two pair with his {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} after the turn and river ran out {K-Hearts}, {3-Diamonds}.

A short time later, Solomon (who was the 2009 Aussie Millions $1,100 H.O.R.S.E. champion), was busted at the hands of Peter Karam when he moved all in on a flop of {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} with {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds} but lost against Karam's {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. Karam hit his pair on the turn of the {Q-Diamonds} and despite having outs to the straight, the river {A-Hearts} gave Karam the nut flush and Solomon his marching orders.
