"How to Win a Coin Flip," by Bertrand Grospellier
Showdown

Grospellier:
"Come on, you can't win four flips in a row!" prodded Russo.

The
dropped right on the flop, and the board of 
sent Russo out the door. ElkY's two pair earns him the knockout pot and a chip boost up over the century mark. It looks like he's got about 105,000 as he stacks that pot.
Toth Green with Envy
was outdrawn by Huub Verdonschot's 
when the latter flopped a straight, the chips all having gone in pre, and Toth had to be content with 17th place.So bearing that in mind, please spare a thought for Toth when we tell you that just now the woefully short Daniel van Kalkeren, by the by a buddy of the aforementioned Huub Verdonschot, got his last in with
and Toth called with a dominating .Board:
Van Kalkeren, resplendent in the same green team hoodie that Verdonschot was wearing last time, doubled to 14,000. "Nice hand," sighed Toth as he settled down to contemplate his own remaining 14,000 stack, and how green was really not his colour.
Bus Update
While the O'Brien half of the room has gone to dinner, we've checked on his stack to see him sitting right around 35,000, down a bit from his high point today.
Jason Mercier still looks absolutely wrecked, but he's picked up an early double up to improve his stack back to respectability.
It looks like the dinner break has done The Bear some good. Greenstein returned from the buffet with a little extra lift in his step, and he's headed back to his stack that appears to have slipped back to about 24,000.
We're still looking for Allen Bari; we're assured he's in this room somewhere.
We're also missing Peter Eastgate, but we know where he was sitting. Eastgate's chair is occupied by another gent, though, and he's presumed eliminated unless something screwy has happened.
Also no word on the massage therapist that was on the bus as well. We're still searching high and low.
Vita Loses Tournament Life
Flop:
Vita bet out 5,700, and once again de Meulder called. Interesting.
Turn:
Vita shoved, and de Meulder called. On their backs.
Vita: a speculative
De Meulder: a concrete
River:
Vita looked sick as she headed for the rail, while de Meulder shrugged in an I'm-sorry-you-busted-but-I-was-winning-all-along sort of way. He is up to 90,000.

Kelly Makes Correct Fold
preflop and got called.The flop came a lovely
and his opponent led out for 3,000. Kelly raised to 9,400 before his opponent jammed for 40,000. Kelly tanked and eventually folded his straight after getting his opponent to show... His opponent flipped 
for the flopped nuts...
Double Trouble
The big stack was first to show, turning up two aces. Binger tabled ace-king, and Pescatori tabled only an eight. Followed by a queen. His queen-eight was not in particularly good shape.
The board ran down
, and that holds Canali's aces. He's knocked off the proverbial two birds with his overpair, and that moves him up to about 80,000.
