Chen and Naicker Hit the Rail

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Emrah Cakmak
Emrah Cakmak

South Africa's Patmaseelan Naicker had around 110,000 left and, having first-in vigorish, shoved all of those on the button. Emrah Cakmak immediately came over the top from the small blind holding {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}, while Naicker was out-kicked with {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. There was no help for Naikcer on {j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and he hit the rail.

Dutchman Zhong Chen followed him closely after. While Chen had a sizable stack earlier in the day, he was down to his final 130,000 and shoved those in. Once again, it was a left-hand neighbor going for the knockout.

Zhong Chen: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Vladyslav Pohribnyi: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{2-Spades} to quicky decide things and Chen went off to collect €3,200 in prize money.
