Rebei Kicks Out Chisu

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Mustafa Biz's table left the feature after the break. However, the action didn't stop because of that, as Bart Lybaert had been eliminated since.

A few hands later, it was Danut Chisu's turn to leave the tournament, after he gave his last 220,000 chips to Karim Rebei.

Danut Chisu: A9
Karim Rebei: AK

On K5J89, Chisu hit a nine on the river. But it was too late, because Rebei had top pair on the flop and a flush on the river.
