Bendor Back on Track; Busts Koral

Level 14 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Tom Koral was out of his chair and all in with the {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} while start-of-the-day chip leader Yarron Bendor had {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs} tabled.

On the {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{k-Spades}{9-Hearts} board, Bendor turned a pair of kings and there was no relevant low to ensure the elimination of Koral.

Robert Stevanovski also ran out of chips, as Johannes Becker was moved to his former seat with now 45 players remaining.
