David Lim was all in for 23,200 from the cutoff seat, and he was called by Alexander Antonios from the big blind. Antonios had the {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, and that had Lim's {J-Spades}{9-Spades} in bad shape.

The board ran out {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{J-Hearts} to give Lim a lucky double on the river. Antonios was clipped back a little bit, but still has 310,000 in chips.

Ami Barer Eliminated in 11th Place (AU$7,747)

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Reigning Aussie Millions Main Event champion Ami Barer was all in for his last 20,000 or so with the {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades} against Yu Kurita. Barer was dominated, though, as Kurita had the powerful {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

The {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop did give Barer a gutshot straight draw for some hope, but the {A-Hearts} turn card and {2-Diamonds} river card couldn't do it for him, and he was eliminated.

Van Marcus Eliminated in 10th Place (AU$10,493)

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

From the button, 2014 World Series of Poker November Niner Bruno Politano raised to 5,500. Van Marcus was in the small blind and reraised to 13,000. Action got back to Politano, and he moved all in for an effective shove of about 50,000. Marcus called it off to put himself at risk, and he had pocket nines. Politano had pocket aces, though, and a {J-}{10-}{2-}{4-}{5-} run out gave the Brazilian the pot to bust Marcus from the tournament in 10th place.
