Christina Orth drew one of the toughest tables today, sitting amongst Johnny Lodden, Sander Lyloff, Anders Henriksson, and Juha Helppi, but she has wasted no time in aggressively playing back at her professional opponents. In consecutive hands, she re-raised bets on the turn by Lyloff and Lodden, forcing them to fold and winning herself some nice-sized pots. The tan, raven-haired Orth is also quite the fashionista, sporting a Louis Vuitton belt and a Gucci purse, along with dramatic red streaks in her hair.

The river is the and after getting a proper look at Annette's stack (roughly 10,000) Runar moves all in. Annette goes into the tank, staring intently at the gap between the board and her opponent, casually playing with the small denomination chips she has left. Eventually she stacks up all her chips and moves them into the middle. Runar flips over his A-K and Annette mucks and is eliminated from the tournament.
Poker Stars Caribbean Adventure champion Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier has been eliminated, as has everyone's favorite scarf-wearing Italian, Dario Minieri.
On an flop, the action was checked to Dag Martin Mikkelsen, who bet 1,200. His opponent raised to 2,500 and Mikkelsen called.

Mikkelsen had turned a full house with , but his opponent flopped it with A-K. The river was a meaningless 4 and Mikkelsen headed to the rail. He'll probably be back to multi-tabling $1,000 SNGs in no time.
Though he was having a nice run of it in the first couple of levels, Norway's Johnny Lodden has left the building. Lodden shoved his short stack with A-K and was called by an opponent holding pocket eights. The pair won the race and Lodden hit the rail, much to the dismay of his rather attractive blonde railbirds.
