Stahle Eliminated by 'ElkY'

Christoffer Stahle was the first player eliminated after the dinner break, sent to the rail by Team PokerStars Player Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier. Pre-flop, Stahle moved all in for his last 50,000 and ElkY made the call, tabling pocket sevens; Stahle showed pocket fours.

The board filled out {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, giving ElkY a set of sevens and the checkmark for the hand.

For his 21st-place finish, Stahle received $4,858 in prize money.

Bradley Fu -- 19th Place

Bradley Fu lost a majority of his chips in a hand against Cailin Jin, in which he called Jin's 88,000 pre-flop all in holding {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}; Jin tabled a pocket pair of eights. Having lost the race, Fu was left with under 20,000 in chips and wasted no time putting them in action moments later, coming over the top of a 17,000 pre-flop raise from Jin for a total of 18,000 holding {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. William Tam called from the cutoff as did Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier from the big blind. Jin also tossed in the extra 1,000, creating a three-way sidepot.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} and the action was checked around. The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and again, all three players checked. The {4-Diamonds} fell on the river and ElkY led out with a 25,000 bet causing Tam and Jin to fold. At the showdown, ElkY revealed {4-Spades}{5-Spades} for trip fours, which beat Fu's pair of eights to win the pot.

For his 19th-place finish, Fu picked up $4,858 in prize money.

William Tam Doubles Up

William Tam just doubled up courtesy of Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier, winning a huge race to earn 220,000 new chips and a whole lot of extra breathing room.

Tam had made it 20,000 to go from under-the-gun and ElkY re-popped it to 60,000. Tam then moved all in over the top of ElkY's bet for a total of 110,000; ElkY made the call.

Tam: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
ElkY: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Elky picked up a gutshot straight draw when the flop came {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, but Tam's hand was the only one that improved as he spiked a third jack on the river to scoop the pot.

Tam stacked up just over 220,000 in chips after the hand, while Grospellier dropped to 150,000.

Guillaume's Running Good

Guillaume Patry just took down another pot - this time against Joe Hachem - after spiking the top set holding pocket kings on a {7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} board. The board had filled out {6-Spades}, {Q-Hearts} and Patry checked the last action to Hachem, presumably trying to entice him to bet. Instead, Hachem safely checked behind, excitedly turning over his {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and saying, "River!" assuming he'd won the pot. Patry then took one last solo peek at his cards before revealing them to the rest of the table.

Hachem could only smile as Patry scooped the pot.

Tan Takes a Huge Pot from Patry

Moments ago, Zhong Tan took a huge chunk out of chip leader Guillaume Patry's stack. Here's how it happened:

Patry made it 17,000 to go from the button and Tan re-raised from the small blind, making it a total of 57,000 to call; Patry did.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} and Tan open-shoved for just under 190,000 in chips. Patry made the call and turned over the {A-Spades}{4-Spades}, revealing a gutshot straight flush draw; Tan tabled {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for ace-high.

Amazingly, the turn and river blanked out and Tan won the biggest pot of the tournament (approx. 450,000) thus far with A-J high.

The hand left Patry with just under 500,000 in chips.

Le and Patry collide in 250k pot

In a battle of the blinds, Dinh Le raises to 23,000 from the SB and is called by Guillaume Patry in the BB. The flop comes {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and both players check. The turn card is the {K-Spades} and Le bets out 45,000. Patry goes into the tank for a minute before making the call. The river card is the {5-Spades}. Le counts his chips, sighs, peeks at his cards and counts his chips again. He grabs a stack of yellow 5,000 chips and splashes them across the betting line. Patry asks for a count, and it turns out to be 80,000. He counts it out and stares at Le. He eventually calls and Le opens {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a rivered straight. Patry shows the {K-Diamonds} and mucks in disgust.

Ang Pang Leng - 18th Place

Ang Pang Leng open-shoved his last 80,000 into the middle from the button and was called by Cailin Jin in the big blind.

Leng: {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Jin: {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

The board filled out {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and Jin took down the pot with aces full of threes.

For his 18th-place finish, Leng will collect $4,858 in prize money.
