A Chip and a Chair? Not This Time
Minseok Kim kicked off the action with a raise to 2,200 from the hijack, and Mariusz Golinski, sitting right next to him, shoved all in. Everyone folded back to Kim, who made the call.
Minseok Kim: A♥J♥
Mariusz Golinski: A♦2♦
Kim was comfortably ahead, and the J♦7♥K♠9♥7♣ board didn’t change that, securing Kim the win. Golinski, thinking he was out, was halfway out of his chair and ready to re-buy when Kim reminded him that he still had some chips left. Sure enough, Golinski had 600 remaining and stayed in the game.
In the very next hand, Golinski, down to his last 600, went all-in blind. Waldemar Tabert raised to 2,200 and got two callers. Natale Allegra, in the big blind, decided to shove as well, and everyone folded, giving Allegra the side pot before the showdown.
Mariusz Golinski: 8♣4♥
Natale Allegra: A♥5♣
Golinski once again needed a lot of help from the board, but luck wasn’t on his side. The board ran out K♠A♣10♦4♦K♥, and Golinski was eliminated, handing his bounty to Allegra, who was thrilled with the result.
