Hirs Eliminated by Sfez
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Table 53 received a face-lift as four players have already been eliminated. Luigi D'Alterio and defending champion Razvan Belea were already gone and the next to follow was Aliaksandr Hirs.
On a J♦8♣5♦4♥ turn, Hirs bet 15,000 from under the gun with 31,000 behind. Two seats over, Eric Sfez raised to more than 50,000 and Hirs eventually called all-in.
Aliaksandr Hirs: 10♦10♥
Eric Sfez: A♥J♣
The 4♠ on the river paired the board and Hirs also came up second-best.
