He raised all in to a bet from William Kassouf on a flop, but he mistimed his bluff as Kassouf had flopped a relative monster and called him.

As Toiminen left without a word, tablemate William Martin piped up: "If you don't win this tournament, William, you must win the prize for number of hands played. You must be in the 60% bracket..."
Bruno Hennig is also now out -- it looks as though he got it in with two overcards against a very loudly celebrating Massimilianoÿ Tamburini's pocket fives; fives held up.
Matias Knaapinen isn't sitting on his huge stack waiting for the field to shrink around him.
Most recently, a small threeway pot grew preflop and brought a board. Checked to Heinrich Mayr, he bet 15,000, which was around or just over the pot size. Action went back to Knaapinen, who thought without expression for a moment before announcing he was all in. The third player got out of the way, and Mayr went right into the tank.
He stood up, he sat back down, he asked, "Do you have aces? Huh?" and received only calm silence from the Finn. He threw his cards away in irritation in the end. Knaapinen went back to his implacable stacking.
Charlie Ciresi is up to an impressive 120,000 after a big double up.
He called a standard raise, as did the big blind, and the three players saw a flop, at which point all hell broke loose. The original raiser bet around 8,500, and Ciresi made it another 20,000 to go. The big blind then moved all in and although the original raiser tanked for a while, he passed. Ciresi called and they were on their backs:
Ciresi: for top set
Big blind: for top two pair
Apparently, Julian Thew had been holding pocket sixes but folded preflop. A lucky escape for the Thewster there...
Maurice Harmon has been one of the chip leaders for most of this tournament. Now, still hovering around the 150,000 mark, he's just busted Chris Rentes' with his dominating .
In other Chip Leader news, Andrew Pantling faced a limp-reraised of 5,400 by Gerard Dooley. Considering Dooly's 18,500 bet, Pantling asked for a full count, which came to 39,500. He eventually passed.
