Bernhauser Busts to McDonnell

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tim Baker

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Fabian Bernhauser shoved for 60,000 from the cutoff and Duane McDonnell called from the big blind to put him at risk.

Fabian Bernhauser: Q♦J♥ All in
Duane McDonnell: J♣10♦

Bernhauser was one of the shortest stacks left in the tournament, so needed to double up to have a chance of making the money. The board ran out disastrous for Bernhauser though as it came 10♣A♣8♥5♠6♠ to give McDonnell the winner with a pair of tens.

On another table Lukas Paliulis was seen leaving the tournament and he has been eliminated.
