Jakub Sterba Eliminated in 19th Place (€7,250)
Level 30
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Calin Ciolte shoved from under the gun for 2,775,000, and the action folded to Jakub Sterba in the small blind, who went into the tank. Sterba started the hand with 2,100,000 and after pondering for a while, made the call to put himself at risk.
Jakub Sterba: A♣10♣
Calin Ciolte: A♠9♣
Sterba had come to the correct decision as his ace-ten had Ciolte's ace-nine dominated.
However, the 5♠9♥4♣ flop catapulted Ciolte into a commanding lead with top pair. Sterba didn't find any help on the 3♦ turn or 6♥ river and he headed to the rail in 19th.
