Maxim Panyak has been eliminated from the tournament. Details of the Russian's bust out are missing so far, but we do have the details of Andrey Pateychuk's bust out.
Pateychuk shoved all in from middle position, and Dimitrios Ballas right next to him over shoved. All other players folded their hands quickly, and it was time for Pateychuk to get the bad news.
Dimitrios Ballas: ![]()
Andrey Pateychuk: ![]()
The ![]()
![]()
on the flop brought not much of anything besides some back door draws for Pateychuk, and by the time the
hit the turn it was time for him to get up from the table. The
hit the river, and the Day 1a chip leader made his exit.
Dimitrios Ballas in the mean time is back to 235,000, from an all time low of just 4,000.

Nicolas Chouity opened the button to 12,000, and small blind Elias Pecheux three-bet to 48,000, clearly committing himself. The big blind folded, and Chouity thought for a long time. He eventually pushed all in, knowing he didn't have much fold equity. Pecheux called.
Elias Pecheux: ![]()
Nicolas Chouity: ![]()
The ![]()
![]()
flop favored Chouity, and the
