A Few Tidbits

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 100 ante
No encore victory for Kaiser this week
No encore victory for Kaiser this week

We've got the brief details on two recent and notable eliminations. It's a pair of EPT champions who've just gone under.

We mentioned Vamplew going broke a moment ago, and we've learned that the EPT London defending champ got his last chips in before the flop with king-queen against ace-queen. That's usually not a good situation in which to find oneself, and the {j-}{8-}{10-}{6-}{j-} board did nothing to save the Scot's tournament life.

Also heading to the rail as we speak is the most recent EPT winner, Tallinn's champion Ronny Kaiser. Kaiser figured {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} was good enough to go with, but he too got his money in dominated. It was Antoine Junillon with the {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}, and the board came {4-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {2-Spades} {J-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} to end his run at going back-to-back.

By our quick count, we still have seven former EPT champions (and two former EPT Barcelona champions) in contention: Lucien Cohen, Kevin Stani, Jason Mercier, Jan Skampa, and Antonio Matias, along with Kent Lundmark and Sebastian Ruthenberg.
