Within two consecutive hands, the previous double up of Jeffrey Cormier was canceled out and the Canadian ran out of chips entirely.
Cormier raised to 52,000 on the button and picked up calls by Marius Pertea in the small blind and Han Kuo in the big blind. The flop fell and action checked to Cormier. His bet of 77,000 was called only by Pertea before the turn went check, check.
After the river, Pertea checked and called a bet worth 175,000 by Cormier, who immediately mucked to forfeit the pot.
The very next hand, Cormier moved all in for 497,000 from the cutoff and Kuo asked for a count in the small blind before announcing the call.
Jeffrey Cormier:
Han Kuo:
The board came and Kuo won the flip with the nut straight on the river, sending Cormier to the rail in 11th place for €17,775. Maxi Lehmanski will be moved over to balance the remaining field and the unofficial final table will be set after the next elimination.
Han Kuo – 1,820,000 (91bb)
Marius Pertea – 1,180,000 (59bb)
Jeffrey Cormier – Eliminated in 11th place for €17,775 ($21,508)
