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} {9-Clubs}
Cimpan: thoroughly ahead with {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

Nevertheless, board: {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {3-Spades}

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

Cimpan Moves On Manole

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} {5-Diamonds} 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} {7-Hearts} and the crowd stirred a little. manole just shrugged again.

Lapossie Continues To Attack

Kapalas raises to 78,000 and Lapossie makes it 182,000. The Greek player calls and the flop comes down {K-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {10-Spades} and Lapossie fires out 161,000 and Kapalas calls. The turn is the {5-Hearts} and Lapossie bets 284,000 this time and it's too much for Kapalas who folds.

Phillips Continues To Run The Show

Phillips - Far and away the chip leader.
Phillips - Far and away the chip leader.
Despite doubling up Cimpan, Phillips is cruising on his table with about 3,800,000. All the other stacks on his table are shortish in the 20BB area.

Phillips took a pot back from Cimpan, raising to 60,000 preflop and seeing a call from Cimpan.

They both checked the {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {K-Hearts} to the river where Phillips bet 65,000 to win it.

Goodwin Takes One from Lapossie

Matt Lapossie raised from the cutoff to 72,000 and Marc Goodwin called from the small blind. The flop came down draw-heavy, {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts}.

Goodwin checked and Lapossie fired 94,000. The turn brought the {2-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {A-Hearts} and both players checked again.

Lapossie tabled {Q-Spades} {4-Spades}, but Goodwin rivered an ace with {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}.
