Spain's Elias Gutierrez Hernandez just got eliminated from the tournament after he shoved his 796,000 stack from the hijack seat and was called by Jonathan Karamalikis. Showdown
Hernandez:
Karamalikis:
The board was not what Hernandez needed and he hit the rail in 15th place for a cash prize of €34,650.
Jonathan Karamilikis raised to 60,000 from the hijack and received a call from Samuel Rodriguez in the cutoff. Ole Schemion then three-bet to 150,000 from the button, only Karamalikis called, and the flop fell .
Karamalikis proceeded to check-call a bet of 155,000, and then check-called a bet of 263,000 on the turn. The Australian checked for a third time on the river, and Schemion moved all in for 1.4 million. Karamalikis thought long and hard before releasing his hand.
At the main feature table John Juanda opened the hand with a raise to 67,000 from the button and Antonin Duda called from the big blind.
The flop ran and Juanda continued for 78,000. Duda called. The Czech took over on the turn betting 160,000 and Juanda check-called. The on the river was followed by the 300,000 bet from Juanda. It was too much for Duda and he folded the hand.
If you're going to out, why not go out in a blaze of glory? Aku Joentausta won't be thinking that right now, he'll be ruing his failed bluff attempt.
He raised to 65,000 from under the gun and was called by Ole Schemion in the cut-off and Ilari Sahamies in the small blind. Joentausta continued for 100,000 on the flop and was called by both players.
Schemion was the only player who called Joentausta's 300,000 bet on the turn. The river came and Joentausta "emptied the clip" by betting all his remaining 1,190,000 chips.
Schemion looked like he wanted to call but it took him five minutes to seemingly pluck up the courage to slide the calling chips forward with his for top two-pair. It was good too as the Finn only had .
