The players are now on a 15-minute break.
We've lost our start-of-the day chip leader in Martins Adeniya and he has fallen in seventh place. The man behind the execution was none other than Benny Spindler and it was a massive coinflip that resulted in Adeniya's elimination.
From under the gun, Mattias Bergstrom opened with a raise to 150,000. Action then folded to Spindler on the button and he flat-called. In the big blind, Adeniya squeezed in a three-bet to 475,000 and Bergstrom got out of the way. Spindler took a minute and then shoved all in, having Adeniya covered. Adeniya made the call to create a huge pot for a ton of chips.
Over seven million chips were up for grabs on this one and it was Adeniya's versus Spindler's . After the board ran out , Adeniya was left with just the pair of jacks on board. Spindler's tens held and he raked in the massive pot to bust Adeniya in seventh place.
