Daniel Kowalski Eliminated in 7th Place (AU$72,800)

Daniel Kowalski - 7th Place
Daniel Kowalski - 7th Place
Daniel Kowalski's final table was far from memorable. He played hardly any pots before tangling with Frank Saffioti and Antonio Fazzolari. Kowalski open-raised, for the first time all day, to 50,000. Saffioti and Fazzolari called out of the blinds.

The flop was {4-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}. Saffioti, as first to act, led out for 55,000. Both opponents called to the {2-Spades} turn. This time action passed to Kowalski, who made a small bet of 60,000, leaving himself just 320,000 behind. Saffioti instantly moved all in. Fazzolari tanked for about a minute before reluctantly releasing his hand. Kowalski needed far less time to call.

Kowalski: {A-Spades} {9-Clubs}
Saffioti: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

It was bad luck for Kowalski; his pair of aces was out-kicked by Saffioti's queen. The river fell {A-Hearts} to eliminated Kowalski in seventh place. His reward is AU$72,800.
