Novak Eliminates Malinowski

Level 20 : 17,500/35,000, 5,000 ante
Wiktor Malinowski
Wiktor Malinowski

Ankush Mandavia opened for 77,000 under the gun and Andrii Novak called in the cutoff. Wiktor Malinowski shoved 467K in the big blind and Mandavia bowed out. Novak was willing, though.

Novak: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Malinowski: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Malinowski flopped a straight draw on {2-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. However, he couldn't overtake the pair on the {4-Spades} turn or {2-Clubs} river.

With 10 players left, the tournament is once more hand-for-hand on the final table bubble.

Nemeth Finally Busted

Level 20 : 17,500/35,000, 5,000 ante

Chris Rudolph raised to 77,000 in the cutoff and Sami Kelopuro called in the small blind. Big blind Andras Nemeth stuck in a short stack of 147K. Rudolph tried to iso but Kelopuro called for about 900K.

Kelopuro: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Rudolph: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Nemeth: {a-Spades}{3-Hearts}

It was an awful spot for Nemeth and a poor one for Rudolph. The queen held with ease and Rudolph was left short while Nemeth busted.

Double Bounty for Nuter

Level 20 : 17,500/35,000, 5,000 ante

Pulkit Goyal put in all but one chip, 231K, in the hijack. Timothy Nuter raised all in for 801K in the next seat and "77Storm77" was undeterred, calling off 473K on the button. Goyal tanked a long time then called in hopes of making a money jump.

Goyal: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Nuter: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
77Storm77: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The {3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} board missed everyone, leaving the king kicker a winner.

Bruno Volkmann opened for 60,000 on the button and Darren Elias shoved about 420K. Enrico Camosci tanked and stuck in a bigger stack of 434K and Volkmann called.

Elias: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Camosci: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Volkmann: {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

It wasn't the worst spot for Volkmann but he only found a missed gutter on the {8-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} runout.
