Six All-Ins, Four Eliminations
The action paused as the floor announced hand-for-hand play. All dealers were instructed to finish their current hands before proceeding. However, despite this, six players decided to go all in on this hand, prompting the floor to announce each all-in separately. PokerNews captured two of these showdowns.
PokerNews and the floor convened at the table where the board displayed J♣4♥Q♠5♣. Amir Etemad was at risk and revealed 8♦8♥ for a pair of eights, while Stefan-Sebastian Ionita was the caller with 4♠5♥, securing two pairs. The K♣ on the river didn't alter the outcome, and Etemad was eliminated from the tournament.
At the neighboring table, the board had already revealed 9♣7♠3♦2♠K♠, with approximately 2,200,000 in the pot. Consequently, the floor requested a showdown.
Leonid Orman: A♣Q♣
Farid Jattin: J♦J♠
Orman's ace-high hand wasn't enough, leading to his elimination from the tournament.
Additionally, there were two more bust-outs: Parahat Nurmuhammedov and Robert Macsim. All four players will share the prize money for the 189th place, totaling $8,500.
