Bronze Section Eliminations: McClung, De Maci and Cheong Are Out
![[user169505]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
A quick skirt around the Bronze Section of the Brasilia Room reveals three notable eliminations. Chris McClung was eliminated in rather unfortunate circumstances. He managed to get it in good on a board of 
holding 
versus 
, but his opponent spiked an on the river to send the Canadian packing.
Chris De Maci was the recent runner-up to our first ever Japanese World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Naoya Kihara. That event was Event #34: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha - Six Handed and De Maci earned $316,308 for that close shave. He was extremely short when we last did a swoop and can confirm that he has been eliminated in the two-card version of things.
A final notable who is no longer spraying chips around is the cheeky-chappie known as Joseph Cheong. He was eliminated by Steven Karr who now has 30,000 chips - more than anyone else in the Bronze section - and it was a barnstormer of a hand.
We believe that Karr opened to 425 from early position and both Liv Boeree and Mathew Frankland called before Joseph Cheong three-bet from the button making it 1,350. The player in the small blind moved all-in for approx. 4,000, Karr also moved all-in and Boeree and Frankland (pocket tens) both folded.

So a cooler for all and after five communities were hung, drawn and quartered Cheong and the small blind were out, whilst Karr moved up to 30,000.
