"I'm not going to order after all," Justin Bonomo told a waiter after busting from the tournament. "Sorry about that."
Bonomo had just been eliminated after getting his stack of 190,000 or so all in on a flop holding the . Unfortunately for him, Richard Yong had flopped a pair of kings with the .

We missed the action, but we do know Tobias Reinkemeier got his last 50,000 or so all in holding the on a board reading . Reinkemeier held top set, but unfortunately for him it was no good as Erik Seidel, who finished tenth in the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event last night, had a straight with the .
Reinkemeier could still win if the board paired on the river, but that failed to happen as the useless rolled off the deck. Like Gus Hansen, Reinkemeier wanted to reenter but was rebuffed by the tournament staff.
"Well, that took about three minutes," Gus Hansen said as he walked up to Phil Ivey at Table 14.

"Make a special rebuy rule for Gus," Ivey told the tournament staff. "One more rebuy."

"I guess it's too late to rebuy," the Dane said before exiting.
