Aussies Busted on Same Hand

Both of the remaining Australians in the field, Jim Sachinidis and Julius Colman have both been eliminated in the same hand by Markus Gonsalves.

Colman was the first to move all in, followed by Sachinidis. Gonsalves then made the call having both opponents covered.

Colman: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Sachinidis: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Gonsalves: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

Sachinidis called to "keep it low" as the board ran out {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{J-Spades}{K-Spades}. The king on the river gave Gonsalves the hand as Sachinidis swore in disgust as he and Colman headed to the payout table. Gonsalves is now up to 92,000 in chips.
