Stepan Budac Eliminated in 15th Place (€5,590)
Level 32
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Georg Strebel raised to 325,000 in middle position and the action folded to Stepan Budac in the big blind. He tossed in the rest of his 440,000 chips and Strebel called it off.
Stepan Budac: 10♥10♦ 
Georg Strebel: 5♥5♦
Strebel congratulated his opponent while the J♥2♠K♦2♦A♥ runout secured Budac his double-up.
One hand later, Budac pushed all in from the small blind for 1,220,000. Big blind Dmitrij Fadeev asked for a count and made a call after hearing the correct number.
Stepan Budac: K♦2♦
Dmitrij Fadeev: 5♣3♣
Fadeev paired up on the 4♦3♠A♦ flop, but it also gave Budac a straight draw. The 4♣ added some counterfeit outs, but the Q♥ river remained clean for Fadeev to knock out Budac one hand after he had doubled up.
