Dani Genov Eliminated in 8th Place ($44,203)

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Dani Genov shoved from the small blind for 2,435,000, which left Damarjai Davenport to think out loud from the big blind .

"How much is that?" he asked. "See, it's really interesting for me if you all have the same stacks," he added. If Davenport were to call and Genov won the pot, the other three players at the table would have similar stacks, which was enough to make Davenport throw in the call.

Dani Genov: A♣10♠ All in
Damarjai Davenport: K♥6♦

Davenport was live and paired his six when the 5♥J♠6♣ flop hit the baize. No help arrived from Genov on the 2♣3♦ runout, and he was out in eighth.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Dani Genov limped in from the small blind and Damarjai Davenport checked his option from the big blind.

Both tapped the table on the 2♣K♦3♥ flop and when the 5♣ hit the turn, Genov checked again. Davenport bet 130,000, but was forced to make it 160,000 as that was the minimum bet. Genov then check-raised to 555,000, and Davenport called.

With around 1,100,000 behind, Genov shoved the Q♦ river and Davenport quickly folded.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Yoann Rubele was getting very short and shoved 1,100,000 in from the small blind, and got snapped off by Damarjai Davenport in the big blind.

Damarjai Davenport: Q♠J♥

Rubele was the favorite to hit the rail, but found a lucky seven on the 9♣2♣7♠ flop to take the lead. A J♠ on the turn improved both players, and the 6♥ on the river kept Rubele in the running.
