Drats! Feldman Doubles

Andrew Feldman is back to 90,000 in chips after turning his downswing around.

Feldman moved in for 40,000 from the cutoff and Kosmas Dratsas made the call from the blinds.

Feldman: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Dratsas: {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} to double though Feldman.

Wicked Chops

On a board showing {K-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}, David Frieling checked to Joel Cohen who fired a 25,000 bet from the button. Frieling then check-raised to 70,000 and Cohen moved all in for a tiny bit more. Frieling made the call and the cards hit their backs:

Frieling: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Cohen: {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

Behind and at risk, Cohen would need some help to stay alive, and that's exactly what he got. The turn brought an inconsequential {9-Spades} but the river delivered the {A-Hearts}, giving both players two pair, kings and fives, with an ace kicker.

Obst is on a Boat

On a flop of {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} Rainer Obst checked to Ronny Kaiser. Kaiser fired 15,000 with Obst making the call.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Obst chec-raised to 64,000 over a 32,000 bet from Kaiser. Kaiser made the call and they moved to the river {5-Clubs}.

At this stage Obst moved all in. It prompted a snap fold from Kaiser.

Obst showed {2-?}{2-?} for a full book. He moves up to 270,000, while Kaiser drops to 465,000.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}, and the river was the {9-Clubs}. Topakas doubels up to 55,000.

Simon Says, Go Home Early

Simon Ravnsbaek has just been eliminated from the tournament by big stack [Removed:297].

The board then ran out {2-Clubs}{K-Spades}{A-Spades}{2-Spades}{A-Hearts} giving Wenigwieser aces full to send Ravnsbaek to the rail in 38th place ($25,000 AUD).

After the hand, Wenigwieser stacked up 805,000 in chips.

John Dalessandri Eliminated in 40th Place ($25,000 AUD)

In what was a battle of two players with very long last names (both difficult to type), [Removed:297] has eliminated John Dalessandri from the main event in 40th place.

Dalessandri got it all in before the flop holding pocket eights and ran into Wenigwieser's {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}. The board then ran out {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs} giving Wenigwieser two pair, kings and nines, and subsequently eliminating Dalessandri from the tournament.

Ladies Unlucky For Cusenza

Adam Cusenza and Pierre Aoukar clashed preflop with Cusenza holding {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} against Aoukar's {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Cusenza was in strong shape for a double up but Aoukar spiked an ace on a board of {7-Spades}{A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

Cusenza exits in 41st position for $25,000 as Aoukar extends his stack to a cool half million chips.
