Two Hands, and Poof, Dominik Nitsche Disappears
Dominik Nitsche was cruising along, but two hands — one of which was extremely unlucky — saw him bounced from the tournament.
In the first, Italy's Gianluca Escobar moved all for 89,000 from middle position and Nitsche isolated by three-betting all in from the small blind.
Nitsche: 
Escobar: 
Nitsche was a heavy favorite, but Escobar got lucky to catch a ten on the 
flop. Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Nitsche, and he was left with 37,000 after the hand.
Not long after, Nitsche raised to 27,000 under the gun, leaving himself just 5,000 back. Andreas Chalkiadakis called from the hijack, and then Escobar put in a three-bet. Nitsche called off and Chalkiadakis folded.

Escobar: 
This time it was Nitsche who was dominated, but he would not get lucky against Escobar, who held after the board ran out 
. Nitsche exited in 58th place for €10,580.
