Badziakouski and Sontheimer Miss the Money; Tilston Crowned Bubble Boy

The first casualty of the last table in the €101,000 Super High Roller was Mikita Badziakouski. Soon after the unofficial final table was set, Bryn Kenney raised to 175,000 in the hijack and Badziakouski shoved for 2.64 million next to act. All opponents got out of the way, while Kenney quickly called.

Mikita Badziakouski: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Bryn Kenney: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}

The board came {Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{A-Spades} and the Belorussian was sent to the rail. In three of the four Super High Rollers, Badziakouski only used one bullet, but to no avail. Not having to fire twice "is a plus for me," he joked.

Steffen Sontheimer was the next to fall. At blinds of 60,000/120,000 he raised to 275,000 on the button and Stephen Chidwick in the small blind three-bet big to 3.0 million, forcing Kenney in the big blind out. Sontheimer moved all in for another 235,000 on top and Chidwick called with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Sontheimer had a flip with {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}, but the "death by quads" was perfect on the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop, making the {3-Spades} turn and {9-Diamonds} river meaningless.

The bubble burst at the hands of team partypoker's Jason Koon, who sent fellow American Keith Tilston packing without anything to show for. Tilston started the day second in chips, but was down to 3.16 million at blinds of 80,000/160,000 when he limped in from the small blind. Koon shoved from the big blind for 5.025 million and Tilston called it off.

Keith Tilston: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The board of {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} improved Koon to sevens and eights, and he boosted his stack to 8.305 million and ensure at least €240,000 to all remaining six hopefuls.
