Grane Hits the Rail One Hand After Eventful Three-Way Chop
Vitalii Zimkovskyi was all in for around 16,000 from middle position and Diogo Da Silva made the call from the hijack. Albert Grane also committed his short stack from the big blind.
Vitalii Zimkovskyi: 4♠4♥ 
Albert Grane: A♦7♦
Diogo Da Silva: 5♣5♦
All caught a piece of the 6♠7♣5♠ flop but Da Silva's set was best and looked good to thin the field down by two. However, Zimkovskyi took the lead on the 3♠ as he turned a straight, which left Grane drawing dead to a chop. The entire table chuckled as the 4♦ landed on the river, which meant the three chopped up the chips in the middle.
Grane's tenure in the tournament didn't last another hand, however, as he was all in with K♠6♦ and up against the Q♦Q♣ of Fabiano Teixeira. The runout of 4♦5♣9♣8♠9♥ didn't help Grane, and he made his way to the exit.
