Pratyush Buddiga Eliminated in 8th Place (€72,000)
Ladies and gentlemen we have our first elimination at the final table. That dubious honour has gone to Pratyush Buddiga.
The American former spelling bee champion opened to 100,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Bahadir Kilickeser on the button who paused briefly before three-betting to 260,000. This folded out the blinds but Buddiga moved all in for 1,165,000 in total. Kilickeser sat riffling some blue chips before announcing "call" and standing from his seat.
Kilickesr: 
Buddiga: 
Buddiga looked set to double up and this looked even more likely as the flop came down 
but the hand was turned completely around when the 
appeared on the turn. Buddiga needed a queen and only a queen to stay in the EPT Berlin Main Event but it was the 
and with that Buddiga was eliminated in eighth place.
