Michael Tureniec Eliminated in 19th Place (AU$50,000)

[user75032]

In the end, Michael Turneniec couldn't stop bleeding chips. He started Day 4 as chip leader; he ends it as the 19th place finisher. Tureniec raised all in from the big blind for 132,000 chips after Zach Gruneberg opened with a raise from the button. Gruneberg tanked for two minutes, as 132,000 chips represented about half of his total stack. He did finally elect to make the call.

Tureniec: {A-Spades}

Gruneberg: {J-Spades}

The flop was {K-Clubs}

. Both players missed, but Gruneberg picked up outs to a straight or a running flush to go along with his live cards. The turn {J-Clubs}

paired his jack; the river {A-Diamonds}

paired Tureniec's ace but also made a straight for Gruneberg. He knocked out Tureniec well short of the final table; surely a disappointment for the Swede. AU$50,000 should dull the pain.

Gruneberg now has roughly 400,000 chips.
