Andy Black Eliminated in 13th Place (€47,019)
Ryan Riess raised to 130,000 from under the gun and received calls from Ming Xi in the cutoff and Andy Black on the button. Lazslo Bujtas put in a three-bet to 680,000 from the big blind, Riess got out of the way, as did Xi.
Black, however, had a different plan and decided to shove for 1,575,000 total. This caught Bujtas off-guard, who let out a chuckle and made it clear he didn't have a premium holding. The odds were too juicy for him to fold, though, and he called to put Black at risk.

Black was a favorite to win the hand but Bujtas still had decent equity with the king-jack. The flop kept the Irishman in the lead, but the turn was the to put Bujtas in the lead.
"Oh, for f*cks sake!" exclaimed Black.
The river sealed Black's fate and he shook Bujtas' hand. The Irish poker icon, who made the final table of the WSOP Main Event all the way back in 2005, saw a second attempt at a Main Event FT come to an end in 13th place.
