Sandor Demjan Eliminated in 6th Place

[user66118]

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

First to act preflop, Sandor Demjan opened to 62,000, and Eugene Katchalov three-bet to 185,000 from the small blind. Demjan called, and off they went to a heads-up flop. It would be the last of Demjan's day.

The dealer ran out {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} , and Katchalov continued out with 155,000. Demjan promptly moved all in for what looked like 551,000, and Katchalov quickly called with his covering stack. Demjan was at risk, and the news was not good as the cards were turned up:

Katchalov: {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}
Demjan: {10-Clubs} {10-Spades}

Demjan was two cards from the exit, and the turn {3-Diamonds} and river {9-Spades} sealed his sixth-place elimination. Demjan is one of the richest men in Hungary, and it's a good thing since he's going home with the last $0 prize and the proverbial wooden spoon. The final five players are now guaranteed at least $200,000, and the action is still coming fast and furious.
