Branimir Brunovic Eliminated in 13th Place ($12,350)
Branimir Brunovic open shoved from middle position for 150,000. He got through the button and the small blind. Then he came up against chip-monster Roberto Bianchi in the big blind. Bianchi asked for a count and thought for a minute before making the call. Brunovic looked extremely unhappy. After that action, both turned over stronger-than-expected hands.

The flop was no help to Brunovic. Neither was the turn, though one of Bianchi's supporters thought it was a bad card and let out a yelp. The river meant Brunovic was eliminated in 13th place. Bianchi clapped and celebrated while Brunovic shook a few hands and left quietly. Bianchi increased his stack to 1.33 million. It is quickly approaching three times the size of the next largest pile of chips.
