Michael Tureniec - 19th Place
In the end, Michael Turneniec couldn't stop bleeding chips. He started Day 4 as chip leader; he ends it as the 19th place finisher. Tureniec raised all in from the big blind for 132,000 chips after Zach Gruneberg opened with a raise from the button. Gruneberg tanked for two minutes, as 132,000 chips represented about half of his total stack. He did finally elect to make the call.
Tureniec:
Gruneberg:
The flop was . Both players missed, but Gruneberg picked up outs to a straight or a running flush to go along with his live cards. The turn paired his jack; the river paired Tureniec's ace but also made a straight for Gruneberg. He knocked out Tureniec well short of the final table; surely a disappointment for the Swede. AU$50,000 should dull the pain.
