Kapalas Loses Flip, Out in 4th Place ($59,838)
Very short on chips, Georgios Kapalas got all in with 1010 and was in a race situation against Terrence Chan’s AJ.
The first card on the board was bad for Kapalas, and it didn’t get any better. It ran:
J3Q25
Chan paired his jack and held on to knock Kapalas out in 4th place.
Chan Out in 3rd ($83,185)
Terrence Chan nearly got all in after a series of back and forth raises heads up against Ahmad Abghari on a flop of A810.
On the 7 turn Chan got the rest of it in and was called.
Chan showed Q6 for a flush draw and inside straight draw, while Abghari held A7 for two pair.
The river K helped nobody and Chan was eliminated in 3rd place, finalizing the heads up matchup between Matt Matros and Ahmad Abghari.
With that, the heads up duel has begun.

Burford Gone In 9th Place ($14,149)
A short-stacked Mark Burford raised and faced a re-raise from Georgios Kapalas. With nearly half of his remaining stack already in the pot, Burford re-raised his last 3,000 in and saw what appeared to be good news when Kapalas called.
Kapalas held A4 and was trailing Burford’s AK.
The flop made it interesting, coming 25Q. The 6 turn didn’t help, but the river was disgusting for Murford. The 3 hit, giving Kapalas a straight and eliminating Burford in 9th place.
