Goran Mandic

Goran Mandic raised to 23,000 and Andreas Eiler, to his immediate left, decided to three-bet to 52,000. The action folded back to Mandic who decided to four-bet to 102,000. Eiler went into the tank for a while after which he shoved all in for right around 630,000 chips. The German did not look happy as Mandic snap-called his huge shove.

Mandic: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Eiler: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Eiler was knocked out in stunning fashion. Mandic's image worked to his advantage as he's now the tournament chip leader.
