Schumacher Eliminated by Keating; Xanthopoulos Smacks the River to Bust Juncker
Alex Keating and Yannick Schumacher went to the turn on a board of 3♦K♥Q♥A♦ when Keating bet 40,000 from the small blind. Schumacher called in the big blind.
The river was the 4♣ and Keating moved all in. Schumacher tossed in all his time bank chips and tanked for a minute before calling for his last 55,000. He showed Q♦9♦ for a pair of queens, but Keating had A♣J♠ for a pair of aces to win the pot and send Schumacher to the rail.
At another table, Endrit Geci had opened to 10,000 in middle position and Bruno Fuentes called in the hijack. Henrik Juncker then moved all in for 70,000 on the button and Christos Xanthopoulos reshoved in the small blind. Geci and Fuentes both got out of the way.
Henrik Juncker: Q♣Q♠ 
Christos Xanthopoulos: 10♦10♠
Juncker had Xanthopoulos crushed and was poised for the double up as the board came K♠8♦4♥3♠, but Xanthopoulos spiked the 10♣ on the river as Juncker lowered his head in disappointment before making his exit.
