Bække in the money
Allan Baekke just took a big pot off Nick Schulman, but he had to make four bets to get the bracelet-winner off his hand.
Baekke raised to 35,000 from the button and Schulman called in the small blind, Baekke then fired 37,000 on the flop, 82,000 on the turn and 145,000 on the river. Schulman check-called the first two bets but on the river he tanked into the break for several minutes while most of the other players left the table. Finally, he released his hand and the chip leader Baekke just got a whole lot richer.

Heinz Kamutzki risked his tournament life with pocket fours but was in serious trouble against Giuseppe Pantaleo's pocket jacks, particularly after a third jack fell on the board. With that, we are down a German.

Michel Abecassis
Vincenzo Pisano limped preflop and Michel "The Abacus" Abecassis limped behind allowing the blinds to join in a four-way pot. On the flop, it was checked to Pisano who bet 55,000, Abecassis raised to 135,000 and the blinds folded.
Pisano debated what to do since he only had about 250,000 or so behind, he went to push his stack all-in and Abecassis did the same, but then Pisano then cheekily stopped. Abecassis did also, pointing to his grey hairs saying he knew all the tricks in the game.
Pisano went back into the tank and another player called time, then Pisano decided not to push or fold, but to actually call instead.
The turn was the and Pisano checked then called off the rest of his stack when Abecassis set him in. Pisano flipped but was behind to and the river was the making Abecassis a full house. Pisano was eliminated and Abecassis has 1.2 million.

Claus Uhrskov must have been delighted to get it in with pocket aces against Tobias Huber's , but not so happy when the board came down to make Huber a straight. Uhrskov duly exited, and presumably can now be found throwing up in the little boys' room...

Thang Duc Nguyen opened to 42,000 from early position, and a player across the table flat-called before Antonio Buonanno squeezed all in for 242,000 out of the blinds. When it came back to Nguyen, he re-shoved over the top. The monkey in the middle tank-folded, and Buonanno was at risk for his tournament life.

Well, that's just not very climactic, now is it? Chop it up, and let's play the next hand.
