Paul Amsellem Eliminated in 17th Place ($8,950)
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Roman Gadzhiev opened to 50,000 from the hijack only for Maksim Shornikau to three-bet to 150,000 from the small blind. Paul Amsellem moved all in for 196,000 from the big blind. Gadzhiev took a couple minutes before deciding to fold. Shornikau then made the call to put Amsellem at risk.
Paul Amsellem: 10?10?
Maksim Shornikau: 5?5?
Shornikau drilled a set on the 4?5?9? flop and remained ahead when the rest of the board ran out A?6? to take down a decent pot while Amsellem's run came to an end in 17th place.
The tournament has now briefly been paused to prepare for a two table redraw.
