Andrei Boghean raised from early position and was called by Paul Tait, Anthony Kennedy in the small blind and Tibor Karpati in the big blind.
Four players went to the flop, which came 7♠A♥2♦. Action checked to Beghean, who continued for 10,000. Tait and Kennedy both called before Karpati moved all in for 45,000. Only Kennedy made the call and the two players flipped their cards, with Karpati at risk.
Tibor Karpati: A♣9♣
Anthony Kennedy: 7♥6♥
Karpati had a pair of aces and Kennedy had a pair of sevens. The turn came the 9♥ to give Kennedy a flush draw and the river was the 7♣ which gave him trip sevens to win the pot. Karpati was eliminated from the tournament.
