Jason Mercier Eliminated in 18th Place (AU$55,000)

Chad Holloway

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The last Team PokerStars Pro in the field has been eliminated from the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event.

It happened when Ami Barer opened for 40,000 under the gun and action folded around to Jason Mercier in the big blind. The Team Pro opted to move all in for 520,000 and Barer made the call.

Mercier:
Barer:

Mercier was behind but had run well in similar situations throughout the tournament. Unfortunately for him, his luck ran out when the flop delivered Barer a full house. Mercier needed running sevens to stay alive, but the turn took away any chance of that happening. The was run out on the river for good measure and then Mercier jetted across the room to register for the $100,000 Challenge.

Ying Kit Chan Eliminated in 19th Place (AU$40,000)

Chad Holloway

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

We picked up the action on a flop of when a raising war resulted in Ying Kit Chan getting his stack of 700,000 or so all in with the against Scott Seiver, who had flopped a set with the . Chan needed to catch either a king or running straight cards to stay alive, and the turn kept the latter hope alive. Unfortunately for him, the blanked on the river and Chan's run came to an end in 19th place.

With Chan's elimination we are down to the final 18 players, and that means it's time for a redraw.
