Salvatore Fazzino Eliminated in 14th Place (AU$70,000)
Salvatore Fazzino no doubt had high hopes at the start of the day (after all he was the chip leader), but those hopes were recently dashed courtesy of Sorel Mizzi.
In what would be Fazzino's final hand, Mizzi opened for 48,000 under the gun and received a call from Darren Rabinowitz in the cutoff. Denny Lewis then came along from the button and Fazzino, who had dwindled to a short stack, moved all in for 344,000 from the small blind. Mizzi made the call, the other two players folded, and the cards were turned up.

Mizzi was ahead with the big pocket pair, and that meant Fazzino's best shot at survival was to catch either an ace or spades. Unfortunately for the Perth contingent on the rail, their man was left drawing to running aces when the 
flop gave Mizzi a set. The 
turn was the final nail in the coffin, and after the 
was run out on the river for good measure Fazzino took his leave in 14th place for AU$70,000.
