Brzezinski Scores a Double Elimination
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Alexandru Stoian moved all-in for approximately 20,000 from the cutoff, then Tomasz Brzezinski in the small blind shoved too, and so did Nikolaos Ktenas from the big blind.
Alexandru Stoian: Q♦J♠ 
Nikolaos Ktenas: A♥Q♥
Tomasz Brzezinski: 5♣5♥
Ktenas hit top pair on the A♣2♦8♠ flop, then trips on the turn A♠. He was on his way to secure an important double up, but the 5♦ landed on the river to give a full house to Brzezinski.
As the Polish player had the biggest stack, he eliminated his two opponents.
