Right from the get-go, short stacks have been busting left and right from the tournament, as was somewhat predicted.
Edvinas Balciunas opened to 10,000 UTG. Sebastian Wahl made the call from UTG+1, and Viacheslav Sultanov was automatically all-in from the Big Blind for a mere 4,000.
Balciunas check-called a 11,000 bet from Wahl on the 3♠10♠4♣ flop. Balciunas took the commando with an 18,000 bet on the K♣ turn, and Wahl folded.
Viacheslav Sultanov: J♠5♠
Edvinas Balciunas: A♠Q♠
The 9♦ meant that Sultanov became one of the early eliminations.
Edvinas Balciunas: 395,000
Viacheslav Sultanov: 0
