Gheorghe Gradinaru Eliminated in 29th Place (€15,950)
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Sotirios Koutoupas just hit a four outer to eliminate Gheorghe Gradinaru from this tournament in 29th place. It was the Greek player who got the action started, raising to 25,000, Grandinaru then moved all-in for 283,000 and Koutoupas called to put him at risk.
Grandinaru: 
Koutoupas: 
The 
flop gave Grandinaru three of a kind but as Eugene Katchalov said: "Better than a blank flop," as Koutoupas had a backdoor straight and flush draw. The 
was a blank but the 
wasn't and the year of Romania will have to wait.
