From the button Geoffrey Mooney moved all in for his last 11 big blinds and Minh Nguyen glanced up from his massage and then slid forward a stack of T-5,000 chips for the call out of the big blind.

Mooney: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Nguyen: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and the kicker played a crucial role to send Mooney on the way out in 4th place for A$9,240.

Who Will Fall Next?

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Linh Tran bet 10,000 on the {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}{K-Clubs} turn and Geoffrey Mooney called with the words "one more time." Tran then checked the {K-Hearts} river and Mooney checked behind to muck once he was shown the {J-Spades}{6-Clubs} by his opponent.

Mooney's stack has dwindled all the way to 10 big blinds and Tatjana Zizic pulled away slightly from him by grabbing the blinds and antes with an all in.

Michael Accardo Eliminated in 6th Place ($6,470)

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Minh Nguyen opened to 13,000 from the button and Michael Accardo gave it some thought before moving all in for 44,000 out of the big blind. Nguyen asked for a count and then put in a stack of T-5,000 chips.

Accardo: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Nguyen: {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The flop {J-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} put Accardo in more danger, as his small pocket pair could be counterfitted. Once the {9-Spades} appeared on the turn, he was down to two outs only and the {J-Diamonds} river sent him to the rail in 6th place for a payday of A$6,470.

After having previously doubled up to around 80,000, Antonina Anapolska moved all in from early position. Linh Tran asked for a count and then called the 76,000 chips with everyone else getting out of the way. Once she was called, Anapolska turned around before the showdown and simply let out an "oops."

Anapolska: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Tran: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

There was no help on the board {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Anapolska headed to the rail in 8th place for A$5,545.
