Marc MacDonnell Eliminated in 8th Place (€12,500)
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Shean Lai raised to 325,000 from the hijack and Cathal Shine called from the cutoff. The action then folded to Marc MacDonnell in the big blind, who thought it over for a bit before jamming his stack of 3,825,000 in the middle.
Lai asked for a count and made the call shortly thereafter, while Shine got out of the way to create a heads up showdown.
Marc MacDonnell: A♦Q♦
Shean Lai: 10♥10♦
Lai flopped a set on 10♠8♣4♦, leaving MacDonnell drawing very slim. The 7♠ turn destroyed all hope MacDonnell may have had left, and the 6♦ river was ceremoniously dealt while he said his goodbyes and headed to the payout desk.
