With players being eliminated quickly and table being broke, we occasionally lose track of some players. For instance, we hadn't seen Toby Lewis in quite some time so we decided to take a walk and find him. Unfortunately, after a seat-by-seat search, we've deduced that he has been eliminated from the tournament.

We happened by Sorel Mizzi's table and noticed that he was all in for just 725. The last time we had seen him, he held a healthy stack. While we didn't catch the hand, Mizzi explained on Twitter:
"Hand that actually made me lol: I raise JJ in early pos get called on button and sb. Flop T57 sb donks 1500 I make 5k he calls turn 5 . . . He donks 3500 I raise to 8k he calls river K he donks again for 6500 and I call. He has K7 lol."
As we said, Mizzi was now all in and up against two opponent. When the flop came down 
, the big blind bet 1,800 and forced out the player on the hijack.
Showdown
Mizzi: 
Big Blind: 
"Queen ball," Mizzi requested in the hopes of picking up an open-ended straight draw. Ask and ye shall receive as the 
spiked on the turn. Even still, Mizzi needed to catch on the river, which is exactly what he did when the 
hit. While he more than tripled, Mizzi was still short with 3,075.
On the very next hand, Mizzi got it all in with 
and dominated the 
of his opponent in the hijack. The board ran out an uneventful 
and just like that, Mizzi was up to 7,000 . . . 10x the amount he had two hands prior.

Daniel Neilson has just been seen exiting the tournament area. We caught up with his table to find out what happened and apparently Neilson got a little over aggressive with 
and ran into 
. The table assures us that Neilson was playing super aggressively ever since he got moved there.
Readers may recall that the young Australian player finished 3rd in the EPT San Remo Main Event a few months ago, picking up almost AUD$400,000. Unfortunately for Neilson, he will have to chase a similar score at the Aussie Millions on another day.

The only thing better than picking up , is managing to tangle with a player who picks up . That''s exactly what Jeff Rossiter did a few hands ago. The aces held up and Rossiter took down a handy pot.

With 3,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, a player in the big blind bet 1,500 and received a call by Dan Kelly. When the peeled off on the river, the big blind bet again, this time 2,500, and Kelly wasted little time in calling only to muck when the big blind revealed 
.
Kelly is doing just fine with 35,000.

Action folded to Vesko Zmukic in the hijack and he used his big stack to put some pressure on the remaining players with a raise to 1,500. Not to be outdone, the cutoff put out a big three-bet to 6,000. The button and blinds got out of the way, and after a few moment's thought, Zmukic did the same. He is still sitting pretty with 34,000.
Meanwhile, Trung Tran has been eliminated from the tournament.
