Former EPT Champion Wigg Eliminated by Almeida
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Panagiotis Mavritsakis raised to 65,000 in the hijack with the 6♥6♦. Anton Wigg then jammed on the button for 530,000 and Gonzalo Almeida pushed all in over the top. Hans Erlandsson was in the big blind and glanced at all of the stacks in front of him while looking down on 10♥10♦.
Erlandsson went through the emotions again, used one time bank and opted to fold this time. Mavritsakis also let go and the other two players showed their pocket pairs.
Anton Wigg: 7♥7♣
Gonzalo Almeida: J♠J♣
After the K♦J♥2♠ flop, Wigg sighed, "that's gonna be tough," and already gathered his belongings. Almeida improved to a full house on the 9♠K♣ runout and Wigg had to settle for 30th place and €30,250, missing out on a shot at a second EPT Main Event title.
