Shortly after losing a significant amount of his stack running queens into Drew O’ Connell’s aces, Brandon Hamlet’s day ended not long after when he ran a bluff into Iulian Blebea.

Blebea raises in early position to 150,000 and Hamlet calls in the big blind to see a flop of which Hamlet checks.

Blebea continues for 150,000 which hamlet check-raises to 325,000. Blebea calls.

On the turn, Hamlet leads for 550,000, leaving himself just over a million behind. Bleabea calls again.

The completes the board and Hamlet unloads the clip, moving in for his final 1,100,000. 

Blebea snap calls and Hamlet’s day ends like a Shakespearian tragedy.

Hamlet tables for queen-high with a missed flush draw, while Blebea shows for a turned queen-high straight.

Iulian Blebea – 5,500,000 (73 bb)
Brandon Hamlet – eliminated
