Ludovic Lacay Eliminated in 50th Place (€5,320)

Ludovic Lacay - 50th Place
Ludovic Lacay - 50th Place
I caught the hand on the flop. There was around 24,000 in the pot. The board read {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. Ludovic Lacay moved all in for his last 20,000. Robin Keston called with {Q-Spades} {6-Spades}. Lacay showed {10-Spades} {9-Spades} . The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and the river was the {A-Clubs}. Lacay's hand did not improve and he was eliminated in 50th place.

The Frenchman immediately removed the toothbrush from his mouth. It had been in there for the entire duration of the tournament because he had lost a prop bet with one of his friends.

Beam Me Up, Scott; Kara Scott Eliminated in 52nd Place (€5,320)

Great Scott
Great Scott
Kara Scott, short-stacked, pushed all in with {A-Spades} {5-Spades} in early position and it folded around to Will Fry in the big blind, who woke up with pocket nines. He hit another nine on the turn for good measure, and Ms. Scott is out in 52nd place.

Incidentally, I was chatting to Mr. Fry and discovered that he is usually a cash player and has never played a tournament bigger than a €400 buy-in. Wherever he places now, this represents his biggest-ever tournament cash, and he appears to be having the time of his life...

Double-Ups, and the Slow Demise of "THE_D_RY"

Janek Schleicher has doubled up with {Q-?} {J-?} against an opponent's {10-?} {J-?} on a jack-high board.

Meanwhile, Danny Ryan had dropped right down to 45,000, and then suffered a further setback. He raised to 8,000 under the gun and got a single call from Jecek Ladny in the small blind. Ladny checked the {10-Hearts} {9-Spades} {9-Clubs} flop and Ryan pushed all in to cover Ladny -- who called instantly, as he'd flopped a full house with his {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds} to double up to 60,000. Ryan's {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} were no good, and he was down to just 15,000.
