Lucasz Plichta Eliminated in 5th Place (€80,000)

Vitaly Tolokonnikov came into the pot with a raise to 140,000, and Lucasz Plichta quickly announced an all in from the next seat over. When the table folded back around to the Russian, he immediately called with the covering stack, Plichta now at risk for his tournament life.

Showdown
Tolokonnikov: {Q-Clubs}

Plichta:

The news was not good for Plichta as he'd run smack into an overpair at the worst time. The flop would bring a huge reaction from the spectators as it fell {10-Hearts}

to set up both players but leave the at-risk player drawing to just one lonely out. The turn {9-Spades}

would open the door a crack as it gave him a gutshot straight draw to the chop.

It wasn't meant to be though. The blank {5-Spades}

fell on the river, spelling the end of the day for young player from Poland. Plichta will walk away with a big smile on his face though, turning a FPP satellite into €80,000 in just five short days.
