In Need Of Chips

[user46392]

Meanwhile, Ivo Donev is down to just 80,000 after losing a sizable pot to Martin Jacobson.

Also shortstacked is Lukas Benkovic. He shoved under the gun and everyone folded -- he showed {5-Spades}

, and big blind Ciprian Hrisca, who had been considering the call but thought better of it, showed {5-?}

.

Christoph Haller Eliminated in 16th Place (€12,768)

[user46392]

He somehow found himself all in with {10-?}

against Johnny Lodden's {K-?}

on a

X board, and very shortly afterwards made his exit.

Casey Kastle Eliminated in 15th Place (€12,768)

[user46392]

He moved all in with pocket queens, but Ciprian Hrisca found pocket kings. "Oh jeez," said Kastle.

No queens on the {2-Hearts}

board, and Kastle will not be king today.

Toth: {8-Hearts}

Oleg:

Classic race. The board ran out {9-Hearts}

. Toth's pair of eights held up and Oleg was eliminated. Down to 13.

Hrisca New Chip Leader

[user46392]

Ciprian Hrisca leaps up to 840,000 and the chip lead.

With a lot of chips in the pot by the river of a {2-Diamonds}

board, Hrisca bet 100,000. An irked Johnny Lodden took a long time over his decision, saying, "It was a really good flop..." and eventually called. Lodden's {J-Diamonds}

was no good as Hrisca turned over {A-?}

to take the pot. Lodden drops to 340,000.

Double Up For Donev

[user46392]

It seems that Martin Jacobson raised from the button and was called by Sebastian Saffari in the small blind, only for Ivo Donev to shove from the big blind. Jacobson re-shoved and Saffari passed, muttering, "I shouldn't have called..."

Donev: {9-Hearts}

Jacobson:

Board: an "oooh!"-tastic {9-Clubs}

Donev got out his camera to capture his quads for posterity, as the pot was pushed towards him.
