Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mehmet Demirkol raised to 22,000 from early position and Boris Kolev shoved for 120,000 from the button. Mario Fata jammed over the top for 245,000, and after a bit of tanking, Demirkol folded his cards.
Boris Kolev: 8♦8♠ 
Mario Fata: A♥J♠
Kolev found himself in a flip with two eights. Kolev stayed ahead on the 2♦K♦4♥3♥ flop and turn, but the J♣ fell on the river to give Fata the winner with a pair of jacks, sending Kolev out of the tournament.
