An under-the-gun player, who we'll call UTG, opened for 800 and received a call from Eugene Katchalov in middle position. The rest of the field got out of the way and it was heads-up action to the

We saw Jon Aguiar stand and collect his bag, so we made our way over. The dealer had swiped the cards by the time we arrived, but the result was the same... Aguiar had been eliminated by Mikhail Petrov. A quick check of his Twitter shed some light on the situation:
Busto QQ vs T9 on Q86J, planning to resume with Brandon early tomorrow afternoon if he busts todaySeptember 30 2012Follow
Even though the Main Event is the last event, all hope for WSOP Europe gold is not lost to Aguiar. You see, the Event #5: €10,450 Mixed Max - No-Limit Hold'em heads-up finale was postponed so that Aguiar and his opponent, Brandon Cantu, could play in the Main. As soon as Cantu is done, the two will recommence the Mixed Max tournament and battle it out for a bracelet.

Fundaro walked away from the tournament area and was visibly frustrated with the ruling.
