Ryan Mandara: A♠9♠ All in
Natan Chauskin: A♦Q♣

Mandara was behind and couldn't find a way back into the tournament as the J♥5♣3♦8♣2♠ runout meant he was sent to the rail.

On the table next to Mandara, Ana Marquez also just busted when she got all-in for around 20,000 with ace-deuce, but fell to her opponent's ace-queen.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Mihai Niste opened the action to 5,000 before Boris Tabiyev three-bet from the hijack. The action folded to Peter Tschernigg in the big blind and he four-bet to 31,500. Niste got out of the way ahead of Tabiyev jamming all in for 132,000.

Tschernigg went deep into the tank, mulling over his options for several minutes.

"You have aces?" asked Tschernigg. "I have kings."

Tschernigg extended his thinking time, ultimately calling the clock on himself. As the countdown began, he peaked at his cards one more time and open-folded K♠K♥ to gasps at the table.

"You really want to see it?" asked Tabiyev. Tschernigg agreed as did the rest of the table.

It turned out that Tschernigg's radar was spot on as Tabiyev revealed A♦A♣.

"Wow! What am I playing? Get me out of here," exclaimed Casimir Seire. "Me too," added Nicolas Chouity.

"I don't know if we're playing the same game," added Seire as Tschernigg lapped up the compliments for his fold.

Around 60,000 was in the middle already on a completed board of 9♠8♣3♥10♣5♥, in a hand between Francesco Favia in early position and Ivan Stankov on the button.

Favia checked to his opponent, and Stankov moved all in for 30,000. Favia went into the tank, and after about three minutes folded, flashing the 10♥ for top pair as he did so.

Stankov turned over A♠J♠ for the ace-high bluff, and raked in the pot.
