Yehor Shumeiko: 7♣7♥ All in
Giorgi Darchia: A♣K♥

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Lukas Jebavy raised to 2,400 from early position with David Von Schnehen being the only caller from the button.

Lukas Jebavy: 7♠6♠ All in
David Von Schnehen: A♥10♣

Schnehen was ahead with top pair but had to fade Jebavy's straight draw. The 3♣K♦ runout didn't help Jebavy and his whole stack was sent over to Schnehen.
