Antoine Bechara eliminated in 9th place ($3,020)

If there was an Aussie Millions Player of the Year leaderboard, it would be safe to say that Antoine Bechara would be on top right now, but he's had to settle for ninth place in this event after being sent to the rail by Matthew Konnecke.

Bechara raised the pot, making it 21,000 to go before Konnecke re-potted it to 72,000. Bechara called all-in and the cards were tabled:

Konnecke: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} {10-Spades} {8-Diamonds}
Bechara: {10-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {6-Clubs}

Bechara hit his ten on the flop of {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {3-Clubs} , but Konnecke stayed ahead all the way as the turn and river ran out {J-Diamonds} , {A-Spades} . Kings up for Konnecke was good enough to see Bechara head to the cage to collect AUD $3,020. Konnecke is now up to 190,000 in chips.
