Meanwhile, Australia's Stuart Barron was also eliminated from the tournament at the tail end of Level 13.
Phil Ivey and Gerald Karlic played out a pot that went a few minutes into the break. It left Ivey in trouble and Karlic with a huge stack.
A big pile of yellow T5,000 chips were already in the middle by the time the board rested as . Karlic checked from the small blind and had Ivey studying him before he heard the words, "All in."
He double checked his cards and called off his remaining 134,000 with the for top set. Ivey's was coldy beaten and he didn't look pleased.
