Koller Takes One from Nathwani

From under the gun, Ketul Nathwani raised to 140,000 and action folded all the way around to Marcel Koller in the big blind. He made the call.

The two players saw a flop of {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} and both players checked. The turn was the {2-Spades} and both checked again. After the {3-Diamonds} paired the board on the river, Koller fired 175,000 and Nathwani folded.

Marko Neumann Eliminated in 7th Place (€120,000)

Marko Neumann - 7th Place

Marko Neumann raised to 140,000, and Kevin MacPhee reraised to 420,000. Neumann quickly moved all in, and big stack MacPhee snap called. It was your standard race for Neumann's {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} against Kevin's {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts}. Not good news for Neumann, as MacPhee's been nearly unbeatable in flips this tournament.

MacPhee's luck held up when he spiked a set on the {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {6-Hearts} flop. Neumann was drawing to a chop and completely dead after the {8-Clubs} on the turn gave MacPhee a boat. The irrelevant {9-Hearts} on the river ended the tournament for Neumann. The German goes home with €120,000 for seventh place. MacPhee now has over 10 million chips, giving him a greater than 2:1 lead over his next closest opponent.

Koller's Rail

Marcel Koller from Switzerland has the largest railbird section watching the final table. His group of spectators have a giant Swiss flag and are waving it around when Koller scoops a pot. There's about ten of them in the bleachers, and they're loving every minute of the action.

MacPhee's Had His Gummiberry Juice

Marc Inizan raised to 225,000 and got calls from both Kevin MacPhee and big blind Ilari Tahkokallio.

Tahkokallio and Inizan checked the {6-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} flop and MacPhee bet, ahem, 420,000. They both folded, and he picked up his second pot in a row.

The next hand MacPhee opened, but Marcel Koller shoved for a little over 2 million and MacPhee this time opted to fold.

Ilari Tahkokallio raised, and Marcel Koller shoved for 2,395,000. Tahkokallio called, and yawned. Just another day at the office for Mr. Cookie Monster.

Tahkokallio: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
Koller: in a spot of bother with {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

Board: {J-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {2-Spades}

With that, the popular Swiss hit the rail in sixth place. Tahkokallio meanwhile deserves a cookie - he's up to almost 7 million.
