Giorgi Chubinidze raised to 600 fr4om early position and was called by Yannick Schneider from the button. Paul Runcan three-bet to 3,100 from the big blind and was called by both opponents.

Runcan continued for 2,400 on the KJ4 flop. Chubinidze folded before Schneider called.

Runcan sized up to 6,500 on the 10 turn, but then faced a raise to 21,000. Runcan called as the bigger stack.

Runcan checked on the 9 river, and Schneider jammed for 30,400. Runcan went deep into the tank, talkinig to himself as he used up four time banks. He opted on a call and the cards the were tabled.

Schneider could only show 77 for a pair of sevens, and he was eliminated after Runcan tabled AQ, which was good for Broadway.
