Jesper Mertz moves all in from middle position and is called by Eric Lupovich in late position. All others fold.

Mertz: {J-Spades} {10-Spades}
Lupovich: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Spades} {9-Spades} {8-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} giving Mertz a rivered straight and the pot. He doubles up to 650,000 while Lupovich is left on the short stack with only 40,000

Shortly after, Lupovich is all in with ace-king again against the {10-Clubs} {5-Hearts} of Georgios Kapalas. Kapalas hit a ten on the turn to eliminate Lupovich from the tournament in 18th place.
