Jonathan Kalmar Eliminated

[user67765]

Just before the break Jon Kalmar was involved in a huge hand that led to him being eliminated from the tournament.

On a board of {3-Spades}

and already with 30,000 in the pot, Serj Markarian led out for 10,000 before Kalmar moved all in for 37,775 in total.

Markarian went into the tank, and asked the floor staff if he would receive a penalty if he exposed his cards. After being told he would receive a penalty, he decided to make the call and tabled {A-Clubs}

for two pair but trailed the {2-Hearts}

for a set of deuces for Kalmar.

However the river landed the {3-Clubs}

to give both players a full house, but Markarian's threes full of aces were good against Kalmar's deuces full of threes.

Kalmar won't be able to repeat his final table performance of last year as he heads to the exit, while Markarian is up to 115,000 chips.
