Bruno Mignini Eliminated in 20th Place ($22,113)

Bruno Mignini - Eliminated
Bruno Mignini - Eliminated
From early position, Bruno Mignini raises it up to 45,000. Action folds around to Michael Abecassis on the button, and he moves all in. Both blinds duck out, and Mignini lifts his sunglasses, stacks his chips, and pushes them in -- about 180,000 worth. He is slightly covered by Abecassis, so it is Bruno Mignini who is all in for his tournament life. With no further betting, the hands are turned over:

Mignini: {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}
Abecassis: {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

Bad timing for Mignini, as his pocket tens are in awful shape to stay alive. The board seals his fate, coming {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {J-Spades} {Q-Clubs} and sending him to the cashier to pick up his winnings.

Michael Abecassis, after winning that hand, has nearly doubled up to 380,000.
