Alain Zeidan Eliminated in 12th Place (€14,000) and Ekrem Sanioglu Eliminated in 11th Place (€16,500)

Ekrem Sanioglu

The action folds round to Lianmin Bai on the button and he goes all in for 1,200,000, which is enough to set both Alain Zeidan (750,000) and Ekrem Sanioglu (760,000) all in in the small and big blinds respectively. They both call, creating a three-way all in and the cards are flipped on their backs.

Lianmin Bai:
Ekrem Sanioglu:
Alain Zeidan:

The case ace comes on the flop, which doesn’t change much. The turn puts Zeidan into the lead and gives Bai an open-ended draw. The river is a though and neither player can quite believe it, with Bai taking the 2,300,000 pot and sending two opponents to the rail.3

Just like that, there are ten players left.

Lianmin Bai – 2,600,000
Ekrem Sanioglu – Eliminated
Alain Zeidan – Eliminated
