Igor Pihela Jr Eliminated in 11th Place (€28,950)
Level 31
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Igor Pihela Jr open-jammed 2,200,000 chips from under the gun. Tom Orpaz was in the next seat over and rejammed for 2,800,000. Walter Ripper sat in the big blind with a stack of around two million as well and tanked for a while before eventually forfeiting his hand. The other two players were ordered to show down.
Igor Pihela Jr: A♠Q♥
Tom Orpaz: A♥K♠
Pihela Jr's hopes of a double diminished significantly as Ripper revealed he folded ace-queen as well. Indeed, neither of the two remaining queens appeared on 4♣A♣8♥5♦2♦ and that spelled the end of Pihela Jr's tournament life. He finished in 11th place and the €2,200 FPS High Roller is now on the final table bubble.
