Tony Dunst Eliminated

Tony D
Tony D
Tony Dunst found himself all in with his tournament life on the line against Henrik Gwinner:

Dunst: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Gwinner: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

It was make or break for Dunst but a king on the flop was enough for Gwinner to take down the pot and eliminate Dunst.

Gwinner is now our clear chip leader with over 470,000 in chips.

Diamond Takes a Big Pot from Chan

Team PokerStars pro Terrence Chan and Gary Diamond just got tangled up in a monster pot worth over 300,000 by the turn. With the board showing {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, Diamond moved all in for a total of 205,000 and had Chan covered. "I'm beginning to think you have me," said Chan to his opponent. "I have you," Diamond offered in reply. Chan eventually laid down his hand and Diamond tabled a pocket pair of aces.

Chan was left with 150,000 after the hand while Diamond stacked up 490,000, which, by our estimations, puts him at the top of the leaderboard.

Gary Benson Eliminated

Gary Benson decides to commit the rest of his short stack into the middle pre-flop holding {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} but Frank Fuller makes the easy call with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

Looking for a magical eight to stay alive, the board brings {K-Spades}{6-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}, and a disappointed Benson exits the poker area. Frank Fuller now has around 80,000 chips.

Maatouk Cracks Aces and Kings!

Rabii Maatouk
Rabii Maatouk
Rabii Maatouk has just stormed up the leaderboard in an amazing hand where he cracked both pocket aces and pocket kings!

Maatouk held {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and all the money was in before the flop.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades} and the pocket aces was looking good with a set. But amazingly the turn and river brought {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for running hearts and Maatouk's flush is good enough to eliminate the two very unlucky players.
