Having lost half his stack to Markus Albisser in the same situation, Sean Keeton found himself in trouble once more after he pushed all-in on the small blind for his remaining 27,500 (11 BB) and was called by Albisser for a showdown.

Keeton at risk, managed to outflop his opponent on 6♥ 9♦ 7♣ , but came crashing down as runout A♥ 2♣ turned the advantage back in Albisser's favor.

Sean Keeton raised all-in on the small blind and saw Markus Albisser put his tournament life on the line - 30,500 (12 BB).

Board 9♣ 3♣ 7♠ 3♦ 4♦ ran dry for both, leaving Albisser's better ace good for the win.

Rudolf Fourie open shoved 21,500 (9 BB) utg and was called by Markus Albisser on the cutoff.

Big blind showed a 2♥ , leaving Fourie in even rougher shape as it is. Lucky for him, the last deuce showed up on board 2♣ 3♣ 7♣ 3♦ 4♦ , keeping him in the running.

Thalmann Robert open shoved 11,700 (12 BB) utg, called by Markus Albisser behind. Brian Green reshoved for a larger 24,800 (25 BB), leaving Albisser with a call for a three way showdown.

Robert immediately spiked a set on board 9♣ 6♠ 3♠ 2♦ K♥ , earning him the hefty boost, while Green picked up the side pot with top pair to bank a small profit.

Markus Albisser kicked off the action with an utg open for 300. Four players called behind, followed by a three bet from Praveen Tammana on the big blind. Albisser answered with another raise to 4,100, and Taruli Aritonang committed his last 4,400. Both Albisser and Tammana completed, making it a three way pot.

On flop A♠ 2♠ 5♦ , Tammana check jammed his remanining 12,700 and was snap called by Albisser with a set.

Aritonang A♦ 6♦

Tammana A♣ J♣

Albisser 5♥ 5♠

Albisser a huge favorite, secured the pot on runout 6♣ 4♠ , and sent both opponents out right by the first level of play.

Markus Albisser opened 700 utg and found two callers behind, along with Praveen Tammana on the big blind.

Albisser continued for 1,200 on flop 7♣ 3♠ K♦ and saw only Tammana stick around to turn 8♠ . Both checked it through to river Q♠ , where Tammana led 2,000. Albisser found no reason to continue and gave up the pot to his opponent.
