Joel Bidnick Eliminated in 13th Place ($27,464)

An eruption of cheers emanated from the rail as Chadwick Grimes won perhaps the most important coin flip of his life. All in with {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, Grimes managed to hold up against Joel Bidnick's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} on an eventful {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Hearts} board to pick up a monstrosity of a pot and put him right in contention for snapping up that shiny,gold bracelet.

But whilst Grimes wore a smile that would require a crowbar and tub of Vaseline to remove, victim Bidnick was less elated, and soon found himself all in for his last 100,000. With the action resting on Alexander Kuzmin, a frustrated Bidnick called the clock, and with just several seconds remaining, Kuzmin made the call.

Kuzmin: {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Bidnick: {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Board: {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The result of which meant that Bidnick was out, Grimes jumped up to 1,500,000, and Kuzmin increased his stack to 588,000. Phew, and they poker blogging isn't a sport!
