After the first two levels, there are 17 players remaining, currently on a 10-minute break.
Chrysi Phiniotis raised to 1,500,000 from under the gun, with only 375,000 chips. All the other players folded to Yossi Eluz in the big blind, who waited several minutes, checking at the next payjumps. He eventually just called.
On the flop 7?J?3?, Eluz checked and Phiniotis shoved. Eluz took a few more seconds. But there was another elimination at the feature table, so he called.
Chrysi Phiniotis: A?9?
Yossi Eluz: 8?8?
Phiniotis needed a better pair than Eluz’s to win. However, she was drawing dead once he made a flush with the K? on the turn. The 6? landed on the river, and the last woman standing finished 18th for $29,700.
