In the first hand back from the break, Sinel Anton raised to 205,000 from early position with and was met with a three-bet to 375,000 from Anaras Alekberovas, who held in the cutoff. After the button and blinds folded, the short-stacked Anton just called. Not only that, he check-called bets of 100,000 and 205,000 on the flop and turn respectively.

Anton checked for a third time when he paired his queen on the river, and then called off his last million when Alekberovas moved all in. Anton seemed to think he won the hand as he lingered at the table until someone told him, "You lost." Anton realized the situation, got up, and took his leave in sixth place.
