Tjenno Eskes Eliminated in 7th Place (€179,250)
After it folded to Tjenno Eskes in the small blind, he called and Paul Runcan raised to 475,000 from the big blind. Eskes check-shoved for 3,050,000 and after thinking for a few moments, Runcan made the call to put Eskes at risk.
Tjenno Eskes: A♠6♠
Paul Runcan: K♣10♣
Eskes was ahead with ace-high and just had to fade an unfortunate runout to double-up and remain in the tournament.
However, the dealer put out a flop of J♣9♥Q♥ to give Runcan the nuts and leave Eskes needing running cards to win. The 9♦ came on the turn to cement Eskes' elimination from the tournament, as an inconsequential A♦ appeared on the river.
Eskes headed to the rail in seventh as the remaining six players had secured their spots on Day 6 of the 2024 EPT Prague Main Event.
