Daniel Biro drops to 70k after failing to dislodge Konstantinos Nanos from his top pair. Nanos check-called the flop for 30k, and eventually did the same on the turn for 70k, but this decision took long minutes. Two players at other tables were eliminated during this dwell. Biro had bet almost exactly half his remaining stack on the turn, but decided against following it up on the river, checking behind and conceding the pot to Nanos' (he showed ).
Tommie Janssen is in some trouble now after doubling up Pierre-Elie de Oliveira.
Janssen:
De Oliveira:
Board:
De Oliveira doubled up to a still below average 210,000. Janssen was left in bad shape, on just 105,000.
Racing out of the tournament with vs. was Moshe Vaizman, while moments later a similarly stacked Sergii Baranov's spiked a Queen to beat .
The Day One chip leader returns to 230,000, and the rail sees first hand that these sorts of all-in race confrontations are deciding the fate of a good number of the 66 remaining players.
We only caught the action on the river - but what a river it was.
The board read when we got there and Riekus Wijermars had bet out what looked like 67,000 from the small blind position. Across the table Jeff Williams tanked for a while, and then announced all in - and was met with an instantaneous call from Wijermars, who turned over for the stone cold nuts. Williams haplessly flashed for a lower straight, and quietly took his leave.
Young Mr. Wijermars is up to 750,000 now, near the upper end of the chip counts. Not bad for what is going to be his first ever live cash.
Luke Schwartz got his last in with and found himself up against Andrey Gulyy's . The board came down an unhelpful , and with a sigh (note - no tables turned over, stacks knocked down, shouting, or anything like that), Schwartz headed for the payout desk.
We told you earlier how Dominique Papesch had doubled up through Team Pokerstars Pro Toni Judet, well he has just done it again. Papesch shoved in early position for ~80,000 and Judet just called despite having four opponents to act behind him. It was irrelevant as they all folded. Hands on your backs gentlemen.

Papesch:
Papesch had a lot of room to breath when he hit trips on the flop .
Papesch ~ 160,000
Remember earlier we told you of Sergii Baranov's lucky escape when his King-Five combo ran into the pocket aces of Kirill Zapletin, well he has just exacted some revenge.
We didn't see the betting action but Zapletin doubled up with against Baranov's on a board of
