Antonios Paschalidis Eliminated in 7th (HK$1,957,000)

Antonius Paschalidis moved all-in and stole the blinds and antes to survive one more orbit but the writing was on the wall and it was getting to boom or bust time.

Steffen Sontheimer peeked down at his cards in the big blind and re-shoved for 1.5 million and Juanda quickly folded.
