Rodrigo Selouan raised to 6,000 from under the gun, and Mihai Niste called on the button.
The dealer spread a K♠4♦Q♣ flop, and when Selouan continued for 7,000, Niste called.
There was no slowing down from Selouan on the 10♥ turn, as he bet a more substantial 45,000. After taking a moment to consider, Niste called.
The innocuous 6♠ completed the board, and Selouan loaded the cannon before firing a third barrel, moving all in, having Niste's stack of 132,500 covered.
Niste spread his time extensions out in front of him and ended up using all five of them before calling.
It was bad news for Niste, as Selouan rolled over A♣J♥ for Broadway. Niste flipped over his K♦10♠ as was customary before heading away from the table.
On separate neighboring tables, Giovanni Rosadoni and Dimitrios Anastasakis were also eliminated, leaving the tournament just four spots from the money.
