Bonomo Bust

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Justin Bonomo has busted his second bullet and it's too late for him to have another chance.

He open-sshoved for 95,000 from the cut-off before Talal Shakerchi moved all in as well from the next seat. All others folded to leave it heads up.

Bonomo: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Shakerchi: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran {2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

Bononmo's kicker problems saw him bust.

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger was very unlucky to bust with kings into the aces of Max Altergott.

Lichtenberger opened to 16,000 off the button before Altergott three-bet to 36,000. Lichtenberger came back with a four-bet to 68,000 and then shoved for 264,000 when Altergott five-bet. Call.

Lichtenberger: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Altergott: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

The board ran {8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} to leave Lichtenberger dead by the turn .

Antonius Done

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Last year Patrik Antonius finished in fourth place for €443,000 but he did not make the money this year. The Finnish high stakes professional was knocked out just after the break by Vladimir Troyanovsky. We overheard that Antonius four-bet all in for right around 200,000 chips with {Q-}{10-} and he ran into the Russian's {a-}{J-}. Troyanovsky's hand held up and just 23 players remain right now.
