Foggin was involved yet again and had a chance to send his stack north of the one-million chip mark, but failed to do so when Jontulovic improved to a full house on the 99674 runout.

Cinca Puts Bullets to Good Use

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Alexandru Cinca opened the button to 50,000 and Tugce Hursoz called in the small blind before Kirill Shcherbakov made a squeeze from the big blind. Cinca shoved 320,000, Hursoz folded, and Shcherbakov called.

Alexandru Cinca: AA All in
Kirill Shcherbakov: KQ

Cinca had the bullets and was looking to fire his stack up the leaderboard, but first had to dodge some outs as the Q45 flop gave Shcherbakov a pair. The 6 river was clean for Cinca, as was the 4 river, and he doubled up.

Recent Eliminations

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Foggin Back on Track

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Scratch that, Marc Foggin is back on track! After tripling up with queen-eight suited against two players, Foggin put Volodymyr Drokin at risk, who had less than 100,000 in his stack.

Volodymyr Drokin: KJ All in
Marc Foggin: 77

Foggin's sevens held up on the 32A109 runout, which sent Drokin to the rail and got Foggin back to almost 700,000.

Foggin's Run Bad Continues

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Marc Foggin
Marc Foggin

Joseph Mouwad was all-in for his last 405,000 from the button and Marc Foggin had him at risk from the small blind.

Marc Foggin: QQ All in
Joseph Mouwad: A10

Foggin's queens were way ahead, but were soon way behind as the 10310 flop gave Mouwad trip tens. A 5 on the turn changed nothing, and Foggin couldn't find his two-outer on the J river, which meant Mouwad doubled up.
