Shylko Wakes Up with Monsters; Colillas Out

After doubling up Deividas Daubaris, Pavels Spirins was a short stack and he had the last of his chips in the middle preflop and was at risk to Aliaksander Shylko.

Spirins had 9x9x while Shylko had KxKx. The cowboys remained best on the runout and Spirins was the first casualty of the day.

Soon after, Elias Abussamra opened to 3,000 from middle position and called when Shylko made it 9,000 from the hijack.

Abussamra check-called for 4,000 on the A♦J♦7♠ flop before the 3♥ turn checked through to the Q♠ river. Abussamra led out for 20,000, leaving around 44,500 behind. Shylko moved all in as the bigger stack and sent his opponent into the tank. Abussamra used up two time banks before making the one chip call.

Shylko tabled A♠A♥ for a set of aces, while Abussamra turned over his A♣4♣. The latter then quickly reentered and has a fresh starting stack.

A third elimination soon followed as Ramon Colillas was sent to the wrong side of the rail on the other table.
