Dilyan Kovachev Eliminated in 10th Place ($19,588)

Dilyan Kovachev - 10th place
Dilyan Kovachev - 10th place

Preflop action built a pot of about 140,000 between Joerg Engels and Dilyan Kovachev. The flop came {5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and Engels bet 95,000. Kovachev wanted to reraised all in but because of the size of the pot he wasn't able to; however, he did raise the pot, leaving himself 40,000 behind.

Engels rereaised enough to put Kovachev all in and of course he called.

Kovachev: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Engels: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Kovachev was in the lead, but Engels had an open-ended straight draw. The {6-Diamonds} hit on the turn and changed nothing.

When the {J-Spades} came on the river it gave Engels a set and the best hand. Kovachev was eliminated from the tournament in 10th place for which he will take home $19,588.

Action folded to Trevor Pope who raised to 40,000 on the button. Joerg Engels called from the big blind and then checked the {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop.

Pope bet 60,000 and Engel made the call. Once again, Engel checked when the {10-Spades} came on the turn. Pope moved all in for his remaining 145,000. Engels decided to fold, which prompted a large cheer from Pope's supporters.

Tommy Le responded by saying, "That kind of makes me want to bust you." Pope simply laughed.
