Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Gabriel Andrade limped under the gun, which started a parade of limps behind him. Tomer Daniel, Lou Garza, and Fahredin Mustafov all called directly behind him. Jonathan Depa completed from the small blind, and Eelis Parssinen checked his option.

The Q♠7♣3♣ saw action check to Andrade, who bet 28,000. Daniel and Garza called, Mustafov folded, and then Depa raised the pot. The total was 182,000. Action folded to Daniel, who thought for a while before making the call. Garza got out of the way.

The turn was the K♦, and Depa bet enough to put Daniel all in. Daniel made the call.

Tomer Daniel: A♣J♠8♠6♣ All in
Jonathan Depa: Q♦7♥6♥3♦

The river was the 9♠, which was no help to Daniel, and he was eliminated.
