Christian Zetzsche

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The stone-cold money bubble has been reached after the elimination of Tolly Sakellariou. A few minutes ago, floor staff decided to go hand-for-hand two off the money as some tables had been stalling and in the final hand before the dinner break, the first all in showdown took place.

Simon Chahine asked for the stack size of Sakellariou, who had lost a big pot earlier with boat under boat, and raised to 11,500 on the button. Sakellariou jammed for 44,500 in the big blind and Chahine asked for a count, then called some 30 seconds later.

Tolly Sakellariou:
Simon Chahine:

The flop and the turn were no threat yet, but the fell on the river and that reduced the field to the last 89 hopefuls.

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

"I had ace jack and ace ten in the first two hands and folded, she is torturing me," Bruno Portaro said while he was under the gun as one of the shortest stacks on the money bubble. He then looked down at his cards and moved all in for 32,000. Ryan Otto asked for a count but folded, while Robert Glasspool, who had won the previous hand against Vojtech Ruzicka, moved all in from the small blind to isolate.

Several players were gathering around the table while all other tables had not yet finished their current hand. Portaro was all smiles and dashed out a few jokes. Billy "The Croc" Argyros started singing "all by myself" while they waited for the showdown.
