The flop read and Jan Skampa, who could definitely win a person-most-resembling-a-robot competition among our remaining runners, bet out form the small blind position. Claudio Coelho was the only caller.
They went heads up to the turn and Skampa now bet 90,000. Coelho folded face up.
While Jude Ainsworth was losing his faith in the poker gods over on the next table, Joao Silva raised from the cutoff. He was met with a push from Santiago Terrazas on the button, though, and after a while he gave it up.
Jude Ainsworth had been having some trouble, raising in late position with and then having to lay it down to reraises all in from Jan Skampa and the like, so he must have been delighted when he looked down and found . He raised under the gun to 38,000, and Antonio Matias and Michel Abecassis in the blinds both made the call.
The flop came down and Matias bet out 60,000. Abecassis flat-called, and the action moved over to Ainsworth, who announced all in for 278,000. Back to Matias - and he called. Now to Abecassis - and he re-shoved for 428,000 total. And Matias called that too.
Ainsworth: the aforementioned for top set
Matias: for top pair
Abecassis: for the straight
Turn: , giving the apparently golden Matias the straight as well
River:
Abecassis and Matias thus chop it up, and the last Team Pokerstars Pro standing heads for the rail in 13th place.
Just after being eliminated, Aurelien Guiglini stopped by the adjacent table to shake hands with Ruben Visser. Visser asked the details of his elimination hand before saying, "I'm going to be out soon, too. Or else big stack." Cue the dramatic foreshadowing.
On the very first hand, Visser moved all in for about 160,000 from middle position holding . Action folded all the way around to the big blind where Jeff Sarwer squeezed out and made the quick call.
