Vadzim Kursevich opened the next two hands after his double up, the second one saw Darren Kramer reraising all-in for about 830,000 over the top of a 210,000 raise, Kursevich nodded and quickly made the call.
Kramer:
Kursevich:
The door card was the , being joined by the and on the flop, Kursevich already drawing to just the two red nines in the deck. The changed nothing and the river meant Kramer doubled up to 1.89 million while Kursevich lost some of those chips he just gained from his own double up.
Next hand, Darren Kramer lost a few chips back. He raised to 210,000 under the gun but faced a shove for 1.175 million from Martin Jacobson in the small blind. Kramer sighed and tanked up for a bit, but in the end he folded and Jacobson took the pot.
A few hands later and Jacobson shoved again, this time to a 200,000 raise from chip monster Ben Wilinofsky. Again, Jacobson got the respect of a fold, and he's at around 1.9 million.
Having dropped to just 540,000, Joep van den Bijgaart found himself with little choice - even if he doubled he'd still be the short stack at the table. Having given up his big blind with a frustrated look, he shoved as soon as it passed to him on the small blind the very next hand.
Big blind Ben Wilinofsky took one look at his hand and made the call. On their backs!
Wilinofsky
van den Bijgaart
The flop put Wilinofsky in the lead and the rest of the board kept him there - so we lose the last remaining Team PokerStars Pro Joep van den Bijgaart after a hard fought afternoon.
By the by, you might have noticed some shouting in the background on the live feed. We rushed over to see what was going on, and discovered that Fernando Brito was busting out from a very jovial table in the €5k six-max turbo event, his aces cracked by Kristojonas Andrulis' on a board. They all sound like they're having a lot of fun over there, with the possible exception of Mr. Brito. So there you go.
Vadzim Kursevich opened preflop on the button to 210,000 and Darren Kramer reraised all-in from the small blind for 1.33 million , Kursevich called but not without a minute of dwelling.

The flop was like a death sentence for Kramer when it came and he was left drawing to running cards but the turn meant it was all over. The river just a mere footnote in this hand.
Nothing past a flop for a while now. Max Heinzelmann and Ben Wilinofsky have picked up where they left off with the whole see-a-flop, bet-a-flop turn taking. Heinzelmann raised under the gun (200k, the standard raise atm) and Wilinofsky called. This pot went to Heinzelmann when he bet 230,000 on the .
Minutes later the c-bettor reversed and Wilinofsky won the chips right back betting a flop.
After that quick double bust out things have become a little cagier.
Max Heinzelmann raised to 250,000 from the small blind but Martin Jacobson moved all-in for just under 2 million and Heinzelmann quickly folded.
The next hand saw Jacobson raise to 250,000 from the small blind and Vadzim Kursevich decided to just flat-call to see a flop of . Both players checked and the came on the turn, Jacobson, not a man who plays too passively, now fired 285,000 and Kursevich quickly folded.
