Daniel Kowalski Eliminated in 20th Place ($7,300)

On the button, Daniel Kowalski open-raised to 27,000. Norbert Ludger made the call in the big blind, and the two men went off to the flop.

It came down {5-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {8-Spades}, and the action went check-check. On fourth street, the {10-Hearts} drew a leading bet of 43,000 from Ludger. Kowalski responded by moving all in for about 135,000, and Ludger put in the call to put him at risk.

Kowalski tabled {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades} for top pair, and he was ahead of his opponent's {5-Clubs} {7-Spades}. Ludger pair would improve in a big way come fifth street, though; the {9-Diamonds} landed on board, giving him the nine-high straight and the knockout.

That's the end of Daniel Kowalski's day, becoming Ludger's second victim in quick succession. He'll pocket $7,300 for his efforts this week.
