Down to 11

There are 11 players remaining. As soon as one more players busts out, the remaining ten players will take a vote to determine if they will play down to a champion tonight, or suspend action and return tomorrow to play out the final table.

Dusan Stoevski Eliminated in 11th Place; Nick Matthews Eliminated in 10th Place

Shane Pickering raised to 114,000. Dusan Stoevski called from the small blind for his last 28,000. Nick Matthews called from the big blind for 90,000.

Pickering: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Stoevski: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Matthews: {K-Spades}{10-Spades}

The flop was {J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Pickering flopped a set. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and the river was the {9-Clubs}. Pickering dragged the pot and busted both players. Dusan Stoevski went out in 11th place, while Nick Matthews busted out in 10th place.
