Grant Levy
Grant Levy

Grant Levy had been careful with his stack all day long, just waiting for that one good double up, but it didn't come. The last of his chips went to Michael Tran, who had {a-}{10-} versus Levy's {k-}{10-}.

The board brought no help for Levy and the Australian Hall of Famer was eliminated.

Kiavash Arbabi Eliminated in 10th Place (A$5,000); Joseph Antar Eliminated in 9th Place (A$6,500)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Kiavash Arbabi has been eliminated by Adnan Al-Maliki. Al-Maliki put Arbabi all-in on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Arbabi was in the tank and eventually called. "You have an ace, you're good", said Al-Maliki.

Arbabi: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Al-Maliki: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Arbabi was ahead, but the {9-Spades} turn was crushing and he is out in 10th place.

On the other table, Joseph Antar was up against John Bogdanovski and ran out of chips in the process. With those two eliminations, we are onto the final table.
