Cornel Cimpan raised under the gun and Jan Boubli called behind. Over to Ari Kolpanitzki in the big blind, who reraised all in. Cimpan gave it up, but with a sigh, Boubli made the call.

Boubli: {6-Clubs} {6-Spades}
Kolpanitzki: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}

Board: {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {A-Spades}

Thus the Israeli is back in the game, while Boubli who only just covered him was down to just 18,000, which went in under the gun the very next hand.

Boubli was holding {K-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} but Cornel Cimpan picked up pocket tens in the big blind. No help from the board for Boubli, and out he went. "Bye everyone," said he.
