Kravchekno's Day is Done; Mercier's Just Beginning

We didn't catch the action, but we do know that Alexander Kravchenko was just eliminated in a hand that was chopped by Micah Smith and Rocco Palumbo. The board read {J-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs} and here's what the players had laid out in front of them:

Showdown
Kravchenko: {8-Spades}{10-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Smith: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Palumbo: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Meanwhile, Jason Mercier, coming straight from the conclusion of Event #5: €10,450 Mixed Max - No-Limit Hold'em Day 2, has entered the field.

With 1,300 in the middle and a flop of {3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, a raising war broke out between Erik Cajelais and Etienne Bargibant that resulted in the former being all in for 15,300.

Showdown
Bargibant: {K-Spades}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Cajelais: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Bargibant was ahead with two pair, but Cajelais flopped a wrap. The {5-Spades} turn completed the Canadian's said draw, while the {9-Hearts} river secured him the double.

McDonald Eliminates Puchkov with King High

Mike McDonald
Mike McDonald

Three players limped and Mike "Timex" McDonald exercised his option in the big blind with a raise to 1,500. Two of the limpers made the call, and then Konstantin Puchkov opted to move all in from the small blind for 3,150. McDonald isolated by four-betting the pot.

Showdown
McDonald: {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Puchkov: {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out a very uneventful {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{4-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and McDonald won with his king high.

Romanello Stays In It

Roberto Romanello had just lost a very big pot against Narendra Banwari after which he was with one foot out the door. One foot did not mean elimination, because Romanello had a little comeback planned.

We just saw him all in for 2,625 after already having doubled up through Banwari.

Showdown:
Roberto Romanello: {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Narendra Bangwari: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}, and Romanello survived another all in.
