David Steicke Eliminated in 26th Place (A$35,000)
The 2006 champion of this event Lee Nelson raised to 22,000 out of the cutoff seat before David Steicke three-bet to 60,000 from the button. In the small blind, Patrick Healy reraised all in for more than 1.2 million. He had both the other players covered and Nelson tank-folded before Steicke called to put himself, and his 350,000-chip stack, at risk.
