Olsson Last To Leave With Nothing

Ake Olsson is the unfortunate person to play the longest in the tournament yet leave with an empty wallet.

The Swede was short-stacked and pushed all-in for 15,500 from the small blind. Giles Haddad made a fairly automatic call from the big blind and the crowd dashed over from the Rui Cao hand to this table.

Tournament Director Thomas Kremser made his way through the crowd to announce the bubble.

"The all-in player shows {Q-Diamonds}

and he has been called by {10-Spades}

..."

The crowd sensed it was not much more than a coinflip and they cheered when the flop came out {10-Clubs}

.

"The

has hit two pair," Kremser continued with cold efficiency, "the all-in player needs running cards to stay alive."

The {Q-Clubs}

turn prompted a few "Oohs" and "Aahs" as now any Queen, Jack or Five would save Olsson from elimination.

But the river was the {4-Hearts}

and a mixtures of cheers and applause filled the room as Olssn was officially confirmed as the 129th place finisher.

We're now playing out the rest of the level before finishing for the night.
