Eveslage Eliminated by Guilbert

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Chad Eveslage
Chad Eveslage

The action commenced with a raise to 35,000 by Chad Eveslage in the hijack, which triggered a three-bet to 80,000 by Johan Guilbert in the cutoff. Eveslage then four-bet jammed and Guilbert called instantly. Prior to the showdown, both stacks were counted and they both had exactly 400,000 at their disposal.

Chad Eveslage: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Johan Guilbert: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop left Eveslage on the ropes as he had the worse club. Nothing changed with the {9-Spades} turn and {a-Diamonds} river to eliminate Eveslage in 31st place.

Sylvain Loosli: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Lonis was ahead, but Loosli had plenty of outs. Indeed, the {a-Spades} that completed the board was one of them, and Loosli claimed the pot with a pair of aces, eliminating Lonis from the tournament.

Mzareulov Runs Into Kings to Bust

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
David Mzareulov
David Mzareulov

The action started with a raise to 30,000 by David Mzareulov from under the gun. It folded to Giuseppe Iadisernia on the button, who made it 80,000 to go. The four-bet shove by Mzareulov followed for around 400,000 and Iadisernia beat him into the pot.

David Mzareulov: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Giuseppe Iadisernia: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Mzareulov picked up some additional outs on the {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop with his broadway draw. However, neither the {7-Spades} turn nor the {4-Clubs} river provided any help and that spelled the end for Mzareulov in 35th place for $33,800.
