Michael Panteli Eliminated in 16th Place (£3,400)

Janos Kurtosi made the opening raise in early position and he got a call from Michael Panteli on the button before Paulo Rodrigues pushed from the small blind. Kurtosi passed, but Panteli made a swift call, and the two of them were on their backs.

Rodrigues doubled up to 830k; Panteli meanwhile was left with just about four big blinds. He stuck it in from the cutoff next hand, and Rodrigues called on the button – moments later, Rodrigues had finished Panteli off, and in just two hands he’d gone from <400k short stack to one of the big boys on over a million.
