Vlastimil Pustina moved all in under the gun for roughly 2,500,000 and Alkiviadis Stamatis jammed over the top for 4,500,000 from the next seat. Everyone else folded, and the start-of-day chip leader was at risk of elimination.
Vlastimil Pustina: A♥Q♣
Alkiviadis Stamatis: A♦K♣
Stamatis had Pustina dominated with the superior ace, and Pustina was pleading for a queen from the dealer. The 3♠2♠2♣ flop gave Pustina some chop outs, and the 5♣ turn gave him even more. However, the K♠ completed the board to give Stamatis a pair of kings, and Pustina was out.
With the elimination of Pustina in 13th, the remaining 12 players had all locked up a €10,350 WSOPE Main Event ticket.
Andrei Spataru raised to 800,000 from middle position and Stanislav Koleno shoved 7,775,000 from the hijack. When it got back to Spataru, he called for his stack of 3,750,000.
Andrei Spataru: 10♠10♣
Stanislav Koleno: A♦J♦
Spataru was ahead with his pocket tens, and they retained their lead through the 5♥K♦3♠ flop. A 2♥ on the turn added a few more outs for Koleno with a wheel draw, and that rolled in on the 4♥ river, which ended Spataru's run.
Christophe Vincent made it 800,000 in the hijack and Daniel Elhaiany called on the button. Andrei Spataru also called from the big blind.
The flop came 5♠6♦K♣ and when it checked to Elhaiany, he bet 1,600,000, which earned him the pot as both of his opponents folded.
Salih Atac opened to 1,000,000 from under the gun. Calin Ciolte in the hijack three-bet all-in for 8,825,000 and Atac called.
Calin Ciolte: A♣K♥
Salih Atac: 9♥9♣
Ciolte lost the flip on a board of 6♥Q♠7♦4♦10♠ and was sent to the rail.
Dan Sfarlea opened to 800,000 in the hijack with A♠Q♥ and Roman Isaienko three-bet to 3,200,000 from the small blind holding J♠J♥. When it got back to Sfarlea, he decided to lay down his ace-queen.
Gal Naim made it 800,000 to go from the hijack and only Yuhan Wang, from the button, made the call.
Naim tossed out a continuation-bet of 700,000 on the 9♠5♥3♥ flop. Wang carved out the call.
The Q♦ rolled off on the turn, causing Naim to check. Wang fired out 2,000,000, which Naim called.
A 6♠ completed the board and Naim checked for the last time. Wang quickly bet 2,700,000, and after a few moments, Naim called.
Wang turned over A♣Q♠ for a turned pair of queens, which was good enough to win the pot, as Naim mucked.
