Asaf Groofi opened the action from early position with a raise to 1,200. Vladas Burneikis called from the hijack and Simone Andrian three bet to 4,800 on the button. Both opponents came along.
The flop landed 9♥J♦9♦. Groofi and Burneikis checked over to Andrian, who continued for 4,000. Groofi called, and Burneikis seized the moment to move all in for roughly 10,700. Andrian took his time before folding, and Groofi quickly made the call, sending the cards to showdown.
Vladas Burneikis: Q♥J♥
Asaf Groofi: A♣J♣
Both players paired their jack, but Groofi’s ace kicker kept him ahead. The 3♠ turn and 7♣ river changed nothing, and Burneikis was eliminated.

Heads-up on a board of A♠9♣8♣8♠ with around 9,000 in the middle, Dara O'Kearney was all-in for roughly 7,500 from under the gun, and up against the covering stack of Sokratis Linaras on the button.
Dara O'Kearney: A♥Q♥
Sokratis Linaras: 9♥8♥
O'Kearney had aces up, but was drawing to just two outs against the full house of Linaras. No ace came, just the 4♣ river, and O'Kearney exited the tournament area.
