Adi Rajkovic

Anton Kraous opened to 8,000. Adi Rajkovic three-bet to 55,000 leaving himself around 25,000 behind. Kraous shoved and Rajokvic called all in for his tournament life and 81,000.

"I'm in bad shape," said Rajkovic as the first all-in hand took place.

Adi Rajkovic: A♠J♠ All in
Anton Kraous: K♠10♦

Turns out Rajkovic wasn't in as bad shape as he thought, but it got worse as the K♦5♥3♠ flop gave Kraous top pair and the lead. The turn 8♠ did gave Rajkovic outs to a flush, but the J♦ was too little too late and he became these second elimination on the bubble.

Jaehyung Park open-jammed from the hijack with a stack that covered the entire table. Jeremie Zouari was next to act in the cutoff and decided to commit them into the middle. After the rest of the table folded, and the camera crews arrived, the cards were revealed.

Jeremie Zouari: J♥J♣ All in
Jaehyung Park: 4♥3♣

As there had already been two eliminations during this hand, Zouari just had to avoid an unfortunate runout to double-up and be in the money.

The board ran out 5♠3♠10♠5♥K♠ and although Park hit a pair of threes, it wasn't enough to beat the pair of jacks of Zouari.

Adam McKola opened to 10,000 and Carmelo Donato three-bet to 21,000. Adrian Mack then four-bet to 65,000 and McKola tank-folded.

"All in," said Mack, mistakenly thinking Donato had acted on his hand. Donato looked amused, thought a little while longer, before five-betting all in for 85,000. Mack snap-called.

Carmelo Donato: J♠J♦ All in
Adrian Mack: 8♦8♣

Donato was ahead and stayed that way on the K♠6♣4♦9♠3♥ runout.

"Thank f*ck for that," said McKola. "I'd have lost to both of you!"

Yauheni Tsiareshchanka opened to 8,000 from early position with Grzegorz Glowny and Julian Salvesen calling from the blinds.

After Glowny checked the 7♣6♠4♥ flop, Salvesen led out for 12,000 and was met by a raise to 32,000 from Tsiareshchanka. Glowny quickly folded, but Salvesen took a bit longer before letting go of his hand and forfeiting the pot to Tsiareshchanka.

Paul Carr’s Brief Comeback Ends in Defeat

Paul Carr narrowly squeaked into the money with just 7,000 chips to his name. After the bubble burst, he folded a few hands before being forced all in from the big blind. Davidi Kitai called, but Tom Cohen raised to 15,000, pushing Kitai out of the hand and setting up a showdown between Carr and Cohen.

Cohen revealed K♥J♣, while Carr, yet to look at his cards, turned over K♣Q♦ to the crowd’s surprise. The flop, however, brought 2♣K♦J♦, giving Cohen two pair and putting Carr on the brink of elimination.

The 4♦ turn changed nothing, but an unexpected Q♠ on the river gave Carr a better two pair and a lifeline with a critical double-up.

A few hands later, Cohen raised from under the gun to 8,000, and Carr pushed all in for 15,000. Seeking a potential comeback, Carr was met with a call, and the cards were revealed:

Paul Carr: A♥J♠All in
Tom Cohen: A♣K♦

This time, there was no last-minute salvation for Carr as the board ran out A♦2♦7♠Q♥10♦, sending him to the rail. Despite the short-lived comeback, Carr left with a respectable finish and a story to tell.

Scott Hall opened to 8,000 from middle position and Fintan Hand shoved for his last 56,000 from the small blind. Hall thought it over, but eventually decided to stick in a call to put Hand at risk.

Fintan Hand: A♣Q♦All in
Scott Hall: A♦J♥

Hand was the favorite to double and remained that way on the 5♣2♦A♥ flop and K♥ turn; however, the J♠ river paired Hall's jack on the end — forcing Hand to settle for a min-cash as play winds down for the evening.
