Zaskodny Eliminated

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Matthias Eibinger and Thai Ha have busted for a second time and won't be able to re-enter anymore as the tournament features a single re-entry option only. On Eibinger's former table, WSOP Bracelet winner Lukas Zaskodny also ran out of chips. The cards were all but rushed away but Zaskodny had flopped top pair with {8-}{6-} and Simon Maschewski turned a pair of jacks with {j-}{10-}.

Skhulukhiya and Gumz Even in Chips

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya limp-called a raise by table neighbor Fabian Gumz and check-called a bet on the {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop to create a pot of around 24,000 to the {7-Spades} turn. Skhulukhiya checked once again and Gumz now bet 10,000. A check-shove by Skhulukhiya for 29,900 followed and Gumz reluctantly folded.

Not long ago, the runner-up of the 2019 EPT Open Sochi Main Event was down to a mere six big blinds and Skhulukhiya is now nearly even in chips with Gumz.
