Joseph Bardakji Eliminated in 19th Place (€31,260)
Tor Skardi raised to 400,000 in the cutoff before Joseph Bardakji moved all in for 3,725,000 on the button. Alexis Nicolai reshoved in the big blind, and Skardi got out of the way.
Joseph Bardakji: 10♣10♥
Alexis Nicolai: A♣K♣
"Always ace-king. I had an ace. Ace of hearts," Skardi told Nicolai, but it didn't matter as another popped off on the A♦8♥5♦ flop to give Nicolai the lead. The rest of the board came 3♣J♥ and Bardakji was sent to the rail.
While this hand was taking place, Jakub Sterba and Bernardo Neves had gone to the river on another table with the board showing 7♠10♥K♠K♥6♦. Sterba then led out for 600,000 from the small blind and Neves took a few minutes before coming back with a raise to 1,600,000.
Sterba called with 9♥8♥ for a straight, while Neves could only show Q♦9♣ for another bluff as he handed over the pot.
