We have just had our first elimination of Day 4. Simon Deadman, who started the day with the shortest stack in play, was sent packing by Upeshka De Silva, following a pre-flop all in.
De Silva had opened the action from his button, attacking Deadman’s big blind. When Deadman came over the top with a raise, the two quickly got their chips in the middle and cards were tabled. It was
for Deadman, up against De Silva’s
, in a familiar tournament race. De Silva took a commanding lead on the
flop, one that he would not relinquish on the
turn or
river.
Deadman will collect $53,000 for his deep Main Event run.
