Atanas Gueorguiev - 8th place
Toni Pettersson raised, only for Atanas Gueorguiev to reraise from the small blind. Pettersson pushed, Gueorguiev called, and they were on their backs.
Gueorguiev:
Pettersson: all in for 2,360,000 with
Board:
Pettersson doubled to 4,920,000 and although his expression wasn't quite a smile, it was the closest thing to it we've seen all day.
The next hand Alexey Rybin raised to 275,000 and the crippled Gueorguiev called all in for his last 200,000. Small blind Jakob Carlsson called the raise, but laid it down to a bet from Rybin on the flop. On their backs.
Rybin: for top pair, a gutshot and a flush draw
Gueorguiev: in some very serious trouble with

We are down our last Bulgarian, and our finalists are now seven.

Jakob Carlsson raised to 350,000 preflop but Liv Boeree moved all-in for just over 3,000,000 and Carlsson folded quicker than an origami expert.

Claudio Piceci has been rather quiet so far today, so imagine everyone's surprise when he opened for a massive 700,000. Unsurprisingly, everyone folded.

Jakob Carlsson opened for a rather more modest 350,000 but Michael Piper announced all in from the small blind for 3,080,000. Big blind Claudio Piceci took his customary minute or two to fold, and then Carlsson folded too.
The nexthand Carlsson raised again - and Piper shoved a second time, this time for 3,710,000 from the button. Once again, Carlsson declined to call.

Michael Piper raised to 350,000 before Claudio Piceci decided to make it 940,000 to go. Piper quickly moved all-in, Piceci thought for his usual five minutes before folding.

Flag comes up, chips go in
Claudio Piceci raised to 325,000 and Giuseppe Diep, a short stack with just 1.7 million, flat-called. Curious.
They saw a flop and Diep, his Italian flag pulled right across his face, promptly pushed his remaining 1,340,000 across the line. Piceci didn't look happy and thought about it for less than 30 seconds before folding.

Claudio Piceci has opened up his game a little bit this level, and we find him once again raising to open a pot. Piceci made it 600,000 straight, and the table folded around to Liv Boeree. She asked for a count on her opponent's remaining stack before announcing a covering all-in reraise worth more than 4 million chips.
That sent Piceci deep into the tank -- though it doesn't take much to do that. After about a two-minute staredown, Piceci's gaze broke, and a confused and amused look crossed his face. The two players exchanged a few quick words, and Piceci eventually surrendered his face-up on the felt.
