Gary Banks moved all in from early position for 210,000. Action folded around to Bobby James who contemplated the call. He ultimately flicked in the chips.
Gary Banks: K♦J♥
Bobby James: J♦8♣
"That's bad for me," said James before the dealer fanned the 8♥J♠7♥. Then he changed his tone, adding, "That's better for me." His two pair held across the 5♣ turn and 2♥ river to send Banks to the rail.
Niveau: 24
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 30,000
Stoyan Madanzhiev had gone all in for 425,000 from the hijack and was called by Muhtar Taysi under the gun.
Stoyan Madanzhiev: 9♠9♥
Muhtar Taysi: A♥A♣
The A♠K♥K♦ left Madanzhiev needing a miracle, but the A♦ turn made Taysi four of a kind to seal the deal. The 6♦ river did not matter as Madanzhiev dejectedly left the tournament area.
Marian Virlanuta opened from early position to 50,000. Luc Van Der Beek moved all in from middle position for 300,000. Action folded around and Virlanuta called.
Luc Van Der Beek: A♣J♥
Marian Virlanuta: A♦7♠
Virlanuta paired his seven on the turn of the 2♠Q♦6♦7♣K♠ runout to send Van Der Beek to the cashiers desk.
Roman Korenev opened to 50,000 from middle position and short-stacked Julien Brecard defended his big blind, with about 120,000 left behind.
On the J♠10♦9♠ flop, Brecard checked to his opponent. Korenev fired out a bet of 150,000, and Brecard got the rest of his chips into the middle.
Julien Brecard: Q♣J♦
Roman Korenev: A♥K♠
Brecard was ahead with top pair jacks but still had outs to fade.
The Q♥ rolled off on the turn to put Korenev in front with the nut straight, and the K♥ river completed the board, confirming Brecard's fate.
Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 50,000 in middle position. Sebastien Compte threw in a three-bet to 175,000, after which the action folded back to Tsouloftas.
He reraised to 325,000 and was quickly called by Compte. He then continued for 150,000 on the 9♥5♦J♥ flop, which Compte called as well.
The pair checked through the 3♦ turn and J♠ river before Tsouloftas tabled A♣3♥ for bottom pair. Compte could not beat that and added his cards to the muck, seeing the sizable pot shipped to Tsouloftas.
Aleksandr Razinkov opened to 55,000 from middle position and Christian Steindel shoved from the cutoff for 365,000. Radoslav Stoyanov then shoved from the small blind for around 1,400,000, which got Razinkov to fold.
Christian Steindel: K♣K♦
Radoslav Stoyanov A♣K♠
Steindel was in a great spot to double up, but that turned into an extremely unlikely scenario after the flop of 9♠A♠4♠ left him with just one out, as Stoyanov paired his ace and flopped a flush draw.
No miracle one-outer appeared on either the 6♣ turn or A♦ river, which meant Steindel was eliminated.
Andre Marquardt limped in from under the gun for 25,000. Action folded around to Toni Kaukua who called in the small blind and Frank Reichel defended the big blind.
The Q♠K♠A♥ flop was checked by Kaukua and Reichel in the blinds to Marquadt who bet 50,000. Kaukua called and Reichel folded. The 8♠ was checked around and Kaukua check-called a bet of 200,000 on the J♣ river.
Marquardt had flopped Broadway with J♦10♦. Kaukua looked at his hand a few times before tossing his cards face down into the muck.
Mehmet Demirkol opened from the hijack to 50,000. Leonid Sidelkovskiy moved all in for around 200,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Demirkol called.
Leonid Sidelkovskiy: 9♦8♦
Mehmet Demirkol: A♣A♦
Sidelkovskiy scoffed as Demirkol turned over his hands but he was given some hope on the J♣5♠8♠ flop. He couldn't find another eight or a nine on the K♣ turn and 4♥ river and was sent to the rail.
