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.
