Much to the dismay of the the heavy Aussie contingent here in the live studio audience, hometown favorite Joel Dodds has been eliminated from the main event.

Dodds opened the pot with a raise to 28,000 from under-the-gun and action folded around the table to Sorel Mizzi in the big blind who made the call. The flop came {10-Hearts}

and Mizzi checked to Dodds who fired a 50,000 continuation bet. Mizzi then check-raised to 162,000 and Dodds came over the top, making it 285,000 more. Mizzi then moved all in over the top and Dodds made the call; his tournament life on the line:

Dodds: {10-Diamonds}

Mizzi:

Needing the board to pair to stay alive (or a running straight flush for all you sticklers out there), Dodds watched the turn and river blank out {7-Clubs}
