Neugebauer Eliminated by Savino
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Max Neugebauer raised to 100,000 in the cutoff and was called by Iago Savino on the button, Jan-Peter Jachtmann in the small blind with the A♦9♦ and Said Madani in the big blind who came along with the 9♣4♥ as well.
The A♠Q♥J♦ flop was checked to Savino, who bet 100,000, earning calls from Jachtmann and Neugebauer.
After the 6♣ turn, Jachtmann and Neugebauer checked once more, and Savino made it 400,000 to go. Jachtmann let go while Neugebauer checked his stack carefully, then shoved for 940,000 and got snap-called.
Max Neugebauer: A♥J♥ 
Iago Savino: K♣10♣
Neugebauer's two pair needed an ace or jack to survive as Savino had flopped the straight, but the K♥ river ended his run as the first casualty of the final table.
