Mihails Morozovs from Latvia shoved all in under the gun for his remaining 123,000. His neighbor Malte Monnig from Germany was still busy counting and stacking his chips from a hand he won right before. When he was done, he took a peek at his cards, and announced his call. All other players quickly released their two cards and it was time for a showdown.

Malte Monnig:

It’s sometimes easy to pick sides when watching a hand play out, particularly an all-in. If I’m honest, from the point of view of someone in the press it’s usually in support of the bigger stack, reducing the field by one. Other times though it’s for the simple reason that you know or have written about one of the players involved.
Whilst it’s not our plan on the PokerStars Blog to bok players we interview, I’m afraid this was the case for American Terence Reardon just now, who endured a brutal end. But watching it made it all too obvious that there are always two sides to a story, as the PokerStars Blog reports.
Jack Salter opened and was three-bet by Heinz Kamutzki on the button to 44,000. The blinds folded and Salter four-bet to 74,000. Kamutzki responded with a five-bet jam for 202,000.
Salter went in the tank for a good long while. He eventually folded but later he explained that he had folded and was concerned he was getting the right price to call. That fold left him with 180,000.

Patryk Slusarek was all in preflop for his last 120,000 or so, and Anthony Ghamrawi, who barely had him covered, had him at risk.
Slusarek:
Ghamrawi:
Ghamrawi was ahead, but not after the flop came down . Slusarek paired his queen and became a huge favorite in the hand. The turn and river actually improved him to a full house, and Ghamrawi was left with just 6,000 after the hand.

Igor Kurganov has just been eliminated from the tournament at the hands of Day 1B chip leader Hendrik Latz.
Kurganov, who cashed in the €100,000 Super High Roller earlier this festival (3rd for €1,128,300), got it in from the small blind with on a board. Latz, seated under the gun, instantly called as soon as Kurganov pushed his stack to the middle. With , he didn't think the decision was all that hard.
Kurganov needed a king or queen to stay alive, but wouldn't get it; on the river.
