Marcel Maurer Eliminated in 23rd Place (CHF7,000)
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Marcel Maurer jammed the small blind for roughly 600,000 and Neculai Macovei made the call from the big blind to try and bust him.
Marcel Maurer: K♦9♦
Neculai Macovei: A♦J♣
Macovei was ahead with ace-high, although Maurer had two live cards working for him.
The dealer fanned out the J♦10♥2♦ flop that gave Macovei a pair of jacks, while Maurer picked up a straight and flush draw.
The rest of the board came 2♠6♥, which were bricks for Maurer, and he was the next casualty of the Main Event in 23rd place.
