Guoga Gets Got

Tony G - out
Tony G - out

After a player raised in front of him, Tony G three-bet shoved for ~25,000 with pocket tens. It's not usually a good thing to get cold-called in that spot, and it was Erik Seidel who did just that next door, coming in cold to put The G at risk. Seidel turned over two jacks, and they held up for him as the board ran out blank.

That's the end of the line for Tony G, while Seidel moves himself further in front, stacking up more than 250,000 chips now.

Seidel Busts Lauttamus and Takes the Lead

Juahn Lauttamus was all in for 63,000 on the turn of a board reading {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Erik Seidel gave it some thought and then made the call with the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Lauttamus held the {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a worse pair and a flush draw.

The river completed the board with the {3-Clubs} and Lauttamus headed out the door.

Rousso Remanded to the Rail

Vanessa Rousso - out
Vanessa Rousso - out

We turned our backs for one second, and when we looked back, Vanessa Rousso was gone. The last remaining lady was trending downwards the last few times we checked on her, and her latest trend takes her all the way down to zero, unfortunately.

We're now left with 32 men, and half of them will go home empty-handed before this day is through.

Dorfman Eliminated; 36 Remain

Randy Dorfman (Day 1)
Randy Dorfman (Day 1)

Event #5: €10,400 No-Limit Hold'em (Split Format) just got down to 36 players after the elimination of Randy Dorfman in 37th place.

From under the gun, Brian Hastings raised to 3,200. Jason Mercier flatted from the cutoff seat and then Dorfman reraised all in for 19,100. Play folded back around to Hastings and he tossed his cards in. Mercier called quickly after.

Dorfman: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Mercier: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

"Can I win a race against Jason?" asked Dorfman awaiting his fate.

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{J-Hearts} and Dorfman couldn't find what he needed. He headed to the rail while the remaining players at the table were broken to other seats in the room.
