Roux Rues Move

Winamax representative Anthony Roux is ruing making a raise from the button, finding his {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} in deep trouble against the big blind's {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} board was close but no cigar, and Roux is left with 35,000.

Soares Flies Away

Sebastian Soares is OUT -- he reraised all in from the big blind to an UTG raise from from Matt Hawrilenko, got a call, and found himself dominated.

Soares: {K-Spades} {J-Clubs}
Hawrilenko: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

Board: {9-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades}

Hiatt Doubles Up

Justin Filtz has taken a bit of a hit to his enormous stack, doubling up Sam Hiatt. Hiatt was all in preflop for 58,000 with {10-Hearts} {10-Spades} -- Filtz was holding {9-?} {9-?} and failed to hit on the {3-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {8-Spades} {4-Diamonds} board.

Hiatt now up to 125,000, Filtz down to a still commanding 230,000.

Agarwal Gone

Aditya Agarwal is OUT, his {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} failing to hold up against Keven Stammen's {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} which hit on the river of the {3-Spades} {4-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {A-Diamonds} board, for maximum drama.

Stammen up to 150,000.

Glasser Eliminated

Michael Glasser is OUT.

Blind on blind, Jonathan Tamayo raised from the small, and Glasser called from the big to see a {3-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} flop. Tamayo led out, and Glasser shoved. Call.

Glasser: {6-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}
Tamayo: {A-Hearts} {3-Clubs}

Turn: {5-Spades}

River: {8-Spades}

Glasser failed to hit, and has now hit the rail. Tamayo on 79,000.

Tamayo Eliminated

No sooner than Jonathan Tamayo had eliminated Michael Glasser, then he himself busted out.

All in preflop with pocket aces against John O'Shea's pocket jacks, a cruel third jack on the river put him out of contention.

Jess Yawitz Eliminated

Heads continue to roll as we lose yet another player from today's event. This time the unfortunate victim was Jess Yawitz, whose coin was buttered the wrong side when pitted against the in-form Bruno Fitoussi.

Fitoussi = {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Jess Yawitz = {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

Board = {J-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}

"That's twice you beat ace king," observed one player.

Fitoussi now on 270,000.
