Eusebiu Jalba Eliminated in 18th Place (€10,370)
After Remy Murcia raised to 200,000 from the cutoff, Eusebiu Jalba shoved his entire stack of 1,335,000 into the middle but retained 100,000 behind. Murcia then declared all-in, prompting Jalba to enter a contemplative phase, hoping for another player to bust out and secure a pay jump.
"Please don't make us wait too long this time, okay? Three minutes is reasonable," quipped a fellow player, eliciting laughter from the table.
Jalba, pressed for time, pushed all-in in less than two minutes, and the hand proceeded to a showdown:
Eusebiu Jalba: 10♦7♦
Remy Murcia: A♥J♦
The flop of A♠8♠6♣ immediately favored Murcia with the ace, while Jalba clung to hope for a straight. However, neither the 2♠ turn nor the 7♥ river, provided the assistance Jalba needed, resulting in his elimination in 18th place for €10,370.
