Game Over for Gardner
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The UK's Grant Gardner had nursed a short stack for an extended period and doubled once to stay afloat. Ultimately, he took another flip and was up against Evgenii Nekrasov.
Grant Gardner: 10♠10♣
Evgenii Nekrasov: A♠K♥
The K♠4♥2♥ flop improved Nekrasov and the 5♥ turn left Gardner with a single out. Instead, the 9♥ river improved Nekrasov to a flush and that reduced the field to the last 39 contenders.
