Last Four Hands; Plenty of Eliminations

Just before the last four hands of the night were announced, Vojtech Skalak was eliminated and Rene Crha followed right after. That wasn't all, though, as another five players ran out of chips.

Mirko Kratzer came back from next to no chips and doubled twice, with {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} versus {Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} versus {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. In the meanwhile, his table saw the departures of Karel Novotny and Nika Kakoishvili.

Andriy Palyuga doubled through Vladimir Valent when he didn't see the shove of his opponent and got his own stack in from the button. Zurab Ejibia was forced all in from the big blind, too.

Zurab Ejibia: {8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Andriy Palyuga: {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Vladimir Valent: {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The board came {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Palyuga doubled through Valent for 130,000, which left the Czech with around 40,000. Those vanished shortly after, and Georgios Orestidis sent his stack over to Van Tiep Nguyen on the same table.
