Michael Russell Eliminated in 17th Place - AU$5,260

Following a short break, we've lost our 17th place finisher, Michael Russell.

Julian Powell was the initial raiser, making it 6,000 to go from early position. Russell came over the top for all of his remaining chips, and Powell felt that he had the odds to make a call.

Powell: {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Russell: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

Amazingly the flop landed {2-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Powell had somehow snatched the lead. A {9-Clubs} fell on the turn and the table was in shock. A {4-Clubs} on the river and an unlucky Michael Russell is left with nothing but a bad beat story and AU$5,260 in prize money.
