Hormazabal Damages Lukovic, Banicevic Finishes the Job

Nemanja Lukovic shoved for around 550,000 from under the gun and Javier Hormazabal put his stack of slightly less in the middle from the hijack.

Javier Hormazabal: K♥K♦ All in
Nemanja Lukovic: A♦K♠

Lukovic needed to find an ace otherwise his stack would be decimated. The flop of 9♠8♦8♠ didn't seem to offer much in the form of help and neither did the Q♥ turn. Lukovic couldn't improve on the Q♣ river, and he was left with just a few big blinds.

In the next hand, Vlado Banicevic raised from under the gun and Lukovic called off his last few chips from the big blind.

Nemanja Lukovic: Q♦6♥ All in
Vlado Banicevic: A♣10♥

Again, Lukovic couldn't find any help from the board as the runout of K♠2♥2♣9♣J♥ meant his Main Event dream was over.
