Kaufmann Eliminated in Huge Three-Way Pot
In the last hand before the break, a huge three-way pot took place at the feature table.
It began with Florian-Dimitrie Duta raising from the cutoff and Thomas Butzhammer three-betting him from the button. David Kaufmann then cold four-bet to 139,000 from the big blind, and Duta shoved for 431,000. Butzhammer, who had the biggest stack, thought for a bit before moving all in over the top, and Kaufman sort of shrugged before calling off for 637,000.
Duta: 
Kaufmann: 
Butzhammer: 
Buthammer was out in front, but Kaufmann was drawing to two overs. Duta, on the other hand, was in need of some major help. The 
flop provided a little as Duta picked up a gutshot straight draw to a seven, but as it was Butzhammer's jacks were still in the lead.
They stayed there on the 
, and Butzhammer was one card away from scoring a double elimination. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't seal the deal as the 
spiked on the river to give Duta the improbable straight and the triple to 1.315 million.
Meanwhile, Butzhammer took down the 412,000 side pot and a disappointed Kaufmann was dispatched in 42nd place.
