Joao Tomas Eliminated in 9th Place (€70,250)
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Aliaksei Boika made it 120,000 to go in the cutoff, to which Joao Tomas responded with a three-bet to 380,000 in the small blind. Boika clicked it back to 640,000, after which Tomas five-bet jammed all in for 1,760,000.
Boika snap-called his opponent, covering him by a single big blind.
Joao Tomas: Q♠Q♥ 
Aliaksei Boika: A♠K♠
Tomas remained ahead on the 7♣3♣8♦ flop and 10♦ turn. Boika had six outs remaining in the deck to hit on the river, and the A♣ was one of them, providing a classic case of a "Barry Greenstein."
The eliminated Tomas stood up and took his leave, being the first to depart from the final table.
