Christophe Wemelbeke Eliminated in 30th Place (€8,512)

[user46392]

Ciprian Hrisca raised to 17,000, and small blind Christophe Wemelbeke decided to make it all in for 49,000. "I call," announced Hrisca, and did just that. On their backs.

Wemelbeke: {J-Clubs}

Hrisca:

Flop:

-- dangerous...

Turn: {2-Diamonds}

-- innocuous...

River: {J-Spades}

-- absolutely the last card that Wemelbeke wanted to see, and thus disastrous.

They shake hands, and Wemelbeke is out in 30th place.

Mauro Corsetti Eliminated in 28th Place (€8,512)

[user24788]

Mauro Corsetti from Italy at one point held the chip lead during the early stages of the tournament when he amassed a big stack. The animated player just made an exit on a cooler of a hand. He was all in with {J-Clubs}

against Pantelis Pavlis' {A-Clubs}

. Corsetti could not improve his hand and he was eliminated. Zoltan Toth folded pocket nines face up preflop and Pavlis joked, "Why did you not call?!"

Marcel Luske Sighting

[user24788]

The always dapper Marcel Luske made an appearance in the media room. He joked, "There are more people in here than are left in the tournament." Indeed. The media room is packed with various members of different media outlets from all over the world. At this stage of the tournament, the media way outnumber the remaining players.

on the turn of a {7-Clubs}

board and getting himself called by Zoltan Toth holding {K-Hearts}

Fry In Hot Water

[user46392]

It folded around to Will Fry on the button, who raised -- both Ciprian Hrisca in the small blind and Lukas Benkovic in the big called, and they saw an {8-Spades}

flop.

Hrisca bet out around 25,000, and Benkovic passed. Fry, however, reraised to 70,000. And Hrisca promptly moved all in for another 90,000. Fry now disappeared into the tank, and when he emerged, he decided, "You've either got me crushed or you have a weak draw," and called.

Fry: {A-Diamonds}

Hrisca: had him crushed with {3-Clubs}

Turn:

River:

An enormous double up for Hrisca, while Fry is not quite fried, but drops right down to 95,000.

Pantelis Pavlis Eliminated in 25th Place (€8,512)

[user24788]

Pantelis Pavlis and Albert Iversen were all in preflop.

Pavlis: {A-Diamonds}

Iversen:

The flop was {K-Diamonds}

and Iversen took the lead with a set of Queens. The turn was the {8-Spades}

and the river was the {7-Spades}

. Iversen's hand held up and he cracked Pavlis' aces. A dejected Pavlis shook his head as he left the table.

"When you run hot, nothing can go wrong," remarked Iversen.

Iversen began the day as the chipleader and added even more chips to his stack which is around 800,000.
