The Next Three Casualties

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Alexandru Farcasanu, Ioannis Vogiatzoglou and Raoul Ioan Iancovici were the next three players to bust.

Iancovici shoved for just 13,000 and was called by Cristian Dinu Cirja in the big blind, who tabled {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Iancovici was behind with {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and the kicker played a vital role as the board ran out {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Tudor Purice
Tudor Purice

The cards were all but rushed away and a big pile of chips sent over to Ferenc Csaba Pal over on table one while Tudor Purice was about to finish a snack he had ordered not long ago. Unfortunately for the start of the day chip leader, there were no chips in front of him anymore and Nicolase Sorin Son had also busted in the very same hand.

According to Philip Poppinghaus and Andrei Gabriel Roscan, Purice had raised and Son pushed for 100,000, which Ferenc Csaba Pal had called from one seat over. Purice shoved over the top and Pal called with {K-Spades}{J-Spades} while Son turned over pocket eights. Purice had {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and a king and queen appeared on the board to reduce the field by two players.

Mihoci Runs Out of Chips

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

After defending his big blind against the raise by Alexandros Papadopoulos and got his remaining chips in after the {Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop.

Dan Cristian Mihoci: {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Alexandros Papadopoulos: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The {2-Spades} turn was a bad card for Mihoci, as it took away some of his outs, and that made the {9-Spades} river bitter sweet as his two pair were not good enough to avoid the elimination.

Radu Danut: {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}

The board of {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} brought no surprise and Bleau hit the rail in 38th place.
