Emrah Cakmak Eliminated in 5th Place (€56,600)

Level 33 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Emrah Cakmak

Emrah Cakmak had defended his big blind against an under-the-gun raise from Stefano Schiano. The flop was {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Cakmak checked. Schiano bet 675,000, Cakmak check-raised to 1,700,000, Schiano moved all in and Cakmak called it off for about 5,400,000.

Emrah Cakmak: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Stefano Schiano: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

It was a massive setup to either player and money was bound to go in. Cakmak needed to hit with his straight flush draw against Schiano's middle set and caught the {7-Spades} on the turn to improve. He needed to avoid the board pair but the dealer slapped the {q-Diamonds} on the felt instead.

The Italian celebrated briefly, as did his rail, before sending his regards to Cakmak. The other players shook the Frenchman's hand as well as he walked off the stage.
