Garret Gruener Eliminated in 10th Place (�25,190)
Josip Simunic had been stealing the blinds and antes once more and then shoved out of the big blind when Joao Ribeiro min-raised to enforce a fold. Two hands later he limped from the button and Jean-Noel Thorel called to see the flop of 
?
?
. Garret Gruener in the big blind checked through as well and the three of them headed to the 
turn.
Gruener check-folded to a bet of 50,000 by Simunic and Thorel called. The 
river saw another check by Thorel and he called the 116,000-bet of the Austrian with 
?
for two pair, Simunic was caught bluffing with queen-high.
Gruener was forced all in the next hand for 10,000 chips after having forfeited his other 3,000 chips as ante. Ribeiro in the big blind turned over 
?
and the American at risk held 
?
. The 
?
?
flop gave the Portuguese two pair and it was all over after the 
turn. A meaningless 
river completed the board and Gruener receives �25,190 for his 10th-place finish.
A redraw to the unofficial final table now takes place and new chip counts will be available shortly.
