Action folded to the small blind. Sitting in the small-blind position was Cornel Cimpan and he put all of his 260,000 chips into the middle. Only Mihai Manole was left to act in the big blind. Manole asked for an exact count and had the amount verified. He was sitting on 700,000 chips behind and elected to fold {A-Spades}

face up.

"You wanna see it?" questioned Cimpan. Manole shrugged. "Do you wanna see it?" he asked again, to which Manole shrugged by nodded as well.

Cimpan then turned up {9-Hearts}

and the crowd stirred a little. manole just shrugged again.

Cornel Cimpan Eliminated in 10th Place (€50,000)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Toni Ojala shoved under the gun and it folded to fellow short stack Cornel Cimpan, who called all in. Folds from the blinds, and they flipped their cards.

Ojala: {Q-Clubs}

Cimpan: thoroughly ahead with {J-Spades}

Nevertheless, board: {A-Clubs}

In such a manner we lost Cornel Cimpan, and our remaining nine runners are redrawing for seats at the unofficial nine-handed final table.

Win Three, Play One, Go Deep: Carter Phillips Style

Carter Phillips won three seats via satellite to this event. It has obviously turned out to be a great idea to play one as he's made the final nine-handed table with chip lead. A little while ago, Melissa caught up with Carter on the dinner break to see how he's doing and chat a bit.
