PokerNews' own Tony Bromham has just eliminated another competitor from the tournament. Sam Vakili was the victim this time around. Bromham opened the pot with a 5,000 raise from under the gun and the action folded around the table to Vakili in the big blind, who moved all in for a total of 14,000.

Bromham made the call and tabled a pocket pair of jacks; Vakili had two overcards -- the ace and queen of diamonds.

The board ran out {9-Spades} {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} in favor of Bromham's jacks and Vakili was subsequently eliminated from the tournament.

Bromham stacked up approximately 54,000 in chips after the hand.
