Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Istvan Pilhofer shoved for his last 2,170,000 from under the gun and it was folded around to Michael Sklenicka in the cutoff, who went all in for more. Everyone else got out of the way and hands were revealed.

Istvan Pilhofer: K♠Q♠ All in
Michael Sklenicka: A♣A♠

It was unfortunate timing for Pilhofer, and the 8♠7♦5♦7♣4♦ runout changed nothing to award Sklenicka the knockout.

Richard Hayes

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Gerald Karlic opened to 200,000 from early position, and received a call from Istvan Pilhofer in the small blind, before Claudio Livrieri three-bet jammed for 375,000 from the big blind.

Karlic asked if he could raise, and on being told he could, pumped it up to 800,000. Pilhofer called.

On the 6♥6♦2♠ flop, Pilhofer check-called versus a bet of 450,000 from Karlic. The J♦A♣ turn and river were checked through.

Karlic tabled 8♠8♦ for two pair eights and sixes, which was good versus Pilhofer's 5♠5♦ for a worse two pair. Livrieri had 7♣3♣ and departed.

Adrian Ibanescu was also seen departing the tournament area after busting.
