Hristiyan Banov Eliminated in 3rd Place (€25,500)
Level 32
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Tomasz Kozub raised to 560,000 on the button as Volodymyr Kokoulin gave up the small blind. Hristiyan Banov in the big blind shared a laugh with Kozub before moving all in for 1,390,000, and Kozub snap-called.
Hristiyan Banov: 10♣6♥4♠3♦ 
Tomasz Kozub: K♦9♠6♠5♦
Any hope Banov had of survival quickly vanished on the K♠K♥J♦ flop as Kozub made trips. Banov was already drawing dead and heading around the table to shake the hands of his two opponents by the time the board ran out 7♦9♣, sealing his elimination in third place.
Kozub and Kokoulin are taking a short break before beginning their heads-up match.
