Alexandros Michas Eliminated in 16th Place (€61,000)
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Tomasz Brzezinski raised to 120,000 from the hijack before Alexandros Michas three-bet to 350,000 from the button. When it folded back to Brzezinski, he four-bet jammed, covering Michas. Michas called for his stack of 2,135,000 total and the cards were flipped over.
Alexandros Michas: J♦J♣
Tomasz Brzezinski: A♥Q♣
It was a huge flip for both players, as Michas needed to win it to remain in the tournament, and Brzezinski had to win it or he would be left with under ten big blinds.
Brzezinski took a commanding lead on the 7♦7♠Q♦ flop by improving to a pair of queens. The K♥ turn meant Michas needed one of the two remaining jacks on the river to survive. An A♦ completed the board, and Michas was out in 16th place.
