Andras Nemeth Eliminated in 7th Place

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Andras Nemeth
Andras Nemeth

Andras Nemeth was left with just two big blinds after his confrontation with Jorryt van Hoof a few moments ago, and he has been unable to perform a comeback.

The last of his chips were in the middle, and ultimately the Hungarian who has $2,751,722 in recorded live tournament cashes departed from the field without a spot in the money.

Six players now remain meaning we are on the money bubble.

Van Hoof Doubles Through Nemeth

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

The flop was down {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, and the action was checked to Andras Nemeth on the button who bet 15,000. Arvi Vainionkulma folded from the small blind before Jorryt van Hoof raised to 50,000 from the big blind.

Nemeth opted to make to 150,000 ten seconds later, and Van Hoot called for his last 120,000.

Nemeth: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Van Hoot: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Nemeth held top pair, but Van Hoot had the nut flush draw and two over cards he could hit to take the lead.

The turn {4-Hearts} was no help but the river {8-Diamonds} gave Van Hoot the nut flush, and he won a huge pot to leave Nemeth short.
