Dejan Kaladjurdjevic opened to 10,000 on the button and Christoph Vogelsang, who was down to 4,000 after paying the small blind moved all in for his remaining 4,000. Chris Hunichen called from the big blind and the players went three-ways to the flop.

The 104A flop was checked quickly to the Q turn and 3 river. With no further action made, the players turned over their cards.

Christoph Vogelsang: 85All in
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: J3
Chris Hunichen: J3

Kaladjurdjevic showed first, and Hunichen quickly turned over his matching hand, both sitting with a pair of three's. Vogelsang tabled his eight-five which missed the full runout, and he was the second player to hit the rail after just two and half hours of play.

The remaining two players chopped the small pot and Vogelsang stood from the table and left the tournament area.
