Roman Stoika Eliminated in 18th Place ($38,000)
Level 23
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Roman Stoika raised to 400,000 from the cutoff with just 35,000 left in his stack. Ohad Geiger jammed from the small blind, and after the big blind folded, Stoika flicked in his last few chips to call.
Roman Stoika: J♦9♦ 
Ohad Geiger: A♥3♣
Stoika was slightly behind to Geiger's ace-high, but a lot could change with five cards to come.
However, Stoika was drawing dead on the A♣A♠2♠ flop as Geiger improved to trips. The remainder of the board came Q♣10♣ and Stoika headed to the exit in 18th place.
