Matei Lupascu Eliminated in 16th Place (�2,190)
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Genc Shabani made it 80,000 from early position and Matei Lupascu made it 350,000 to go on the button, leaving himself around 50,000 behind. Hugues Girard then shoved from the small blind for 355,000, and Shabani shoved. At this point, Shabani and Girard had exposed their cards, but Lapascu hadn't yet called off his remaining chips, but eventually did put them in knowing he was behind.
Hugues Girard: A?K? 
Matei Lupascu: A?J?
Genc Shabani: A?Q?
It was a great spot for Girard to triple up, but there was still a board to sweat. The board of 6?7?2?10?3? stayed low, which meant Girard took the main pot, Shabani took the side pot, and Lapascu was sent to the rail.
