Hutter Eliminated by Kubaliak
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Chino Rheem had recovered previous losses when he came up second-best with 10♠10♥ against the A♥K♥ of Kelvin Kerber.
The same table included several other big names and Matas Cimbolas was trying to figure out the name of an opponent in the five seat. "My name is Igor. Igor Igor," the answer came.
Only one of those statements was true, as it happened to be Igor Picone from Belgium.
Picone called the shove of Barry Hutter for 28,000 and then saw Tomas Kubaliak move all-in over the top, forcing out Picone.
Barry Hutter: A♦Q♥
Tomas Kubaliak: K♣K♠
The 9♥7♦3♣7♥8♠ board brought no help to Hutter and ended his run on Day 1a.
