Laszlo Bujtas Eliminated in 8th Place ($160,000)
Level 18
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Nino Pansier raised to 280,000 in middle position with A♣J♥10♦10♣ and Laszlo Bujtas called in the cutoff. Gruffudd Pugh-Jones then reraised to 1,240,000 on the button with A♥K♥K♦5♥.
Pansier folded, while Bujtas also laid down J♠J♦9♦9♣. "I'm on tilt," Pugh-Jones said as he took in the pot.
Bujtas then opened to 280,000 in middle position and Cesar Garcia reraised to 920,000. Bujtas called, and they went heads-up to the Q♥9♠3♥ flop.
Garcia then moved all in, and Bujtas snap-called for 1,270,000.
Laszlo Bujtas: A♥K♣J♥5♣
Cesar Garcia: A♣Q♣J♠10♥
Garcia needed to dodge Bujtas' flush and straight draws to win the pot, and the K♦ turn improved him to his own straight. The 9♦ river was no help to Bujtas, and he was sent to the rail in eighth place.
