Ionel Reduces the Field by One

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A player in middle position had three-bet to 40,000 versus a previous open only for Ivan Tukmachev to move all in for 110,000 from the hijack. Anton Ionel called from the cutoff with a covering stack and after some deliberation the middle position player got out of the way.

Ivan Tukmachev: A?Q? All in
Anton Ionel: A?K?

Tukmachev was in rough shape against the bigger ace and couldn't catch up on the A?6?7?J?8? runout resulting in his elimination while Ionel collected a healthy pot.

Elsewhere in the tournament area, Benjamin Hamnett was recently eliminated.
