Alkiviadis Stamatis Eliminated in 10th Place (€23,000)

Besnik Aruqi made it 1,200,000 from the cutoff before Gal Naim three-bet the button to 2,500,000. Alkiviadis Stamatis, who was seated in the big blind, burned through a few of his time banks before four-bet jamming for 6,275,000. Aruqi folded, but Naim snap-called.

Alkiviadis Stamatis: J♣J♦ All in
Gal Naim: A♥9♣

Stamatis found the perfect spot with pocket jacks, and just needed to fade an unfortunate runout to double up.

Naim repeatedly said "ace, ace, ace," as the dealer fanned out the 2♥6♥4♣ flop. Naim's pleas went unanswered again on the 3♠ turn, and Stamatis just needed to fade an ace on the river to keep the tournament on the final table bubble.

Naim's request for an ace continued as the dealer burned a card, then peeled off the A♠ on the river to give Naim the winning hand. Naim raised his arms and erupted in celebration at having rivered the winner. After a few moments, Naim apologized to Stamatis and said, "Sorry, I love you," to which Stamatis responded with, "I love you too."

Stamatis headed to the cashier's desk to collect his tenth-place payout, while Naim went to the final table with a stack of 26,425,000.
