Reinkemeier Throwing His Short Stack Weight Around

Tobias Reinkemeier shoved under the gun for his last 640,000 and it folded around to Marty Smyth in the big blind, who looked like he was considering it -- but he folded too, and Reinkemeier picked up the blinds and antes.

Two hands later he did it again when it folded to him in the small blind, but Rui Milhomens in the big blind passed. Reinkemeier showed him the {A-Clubs}.

Milhomens Doubles Through Renkemeier

Tobias Renkemeier raised to 130,000 from the button and Rui Milhomens reraised all-in for 782,000. Renkemeier called.

Milhomens: {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
Renkemeier: {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs}

Board: {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {6-Spades}

Ace-high beats king-high in this game and Milhomens is up to 1,600,000. Renkemeier is down to about 500,000.

Rajkumar Short Again

Oh dear. After that fantastically lucky double up through Benny Spindler put him back in the running, a trio of hands gone wrong has put Vivek Rajkumar right back down to 800,000.

First, he and Marty Smyth saw a {6-Clubs} {8-Spades} {5-Hearts} flop, and Rajkumar had to lay down {A-?} {Q-?} when Smyth bet 130,000.

Then the action folded around to Rajkumar in the small blind and he raised to 120,000. Big blind Nikolai Senninger called. They checked down the {4-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {3-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} board until the river, when Rajkumar bet out 160,000. Senninger called, and his {A-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} was good to take the pot as Rajkumar could only boast {J-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}.

And the last, biggest hand went like so.

Rajkumar raised to 125,000 in the cutoff, and after some considerable time spent dwelling, Karim Bennani in the big blind called.

Bennani check-called 94,000 on the {3-Clubs} {2-Spades} {4-Diamonds} flop and they both checked the {4-Spades} turn. Come the {6-Diamonds} river, Bennani announced all in for 840,000, just about covering Rajkumar. Eventually he folded, and Bennani showed his {A-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} for nothing more than ace-high.

Aaron Has Air

Up on the TV table Aaron Gustavson managed to bluff away a million chips or so. He bet 535,000 on the river of a board that read {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} but Martin Gudvangen made the call with {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} and Gustavson just mucked.

"I was thinking about raising," Gudvangen said, as he raked in the pot to make him our new chip leader on 4.7 million.
