Gino Gabriel Eliminated in 12th Place (€17,180)

Gino Gabriel open-raised under the gun, making it 50,000 straight. All the way around in the big blind, Ryan Franklin announced an all in, and Gabriel instantly called. Both men were just over 400,000 in chips, but it was Franklin with the covering stack. With Gabriel at risk then, the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Gabriel: {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}
Franklin: {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}

There would be no help whatsoever for Gabriel on a board full of blanks: {2-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {7-Hearts}. Unable to improve, Gino has become our 12th-place finisher. Franklin, on the other hand, is now right back in contention with about 845,000.
