Thomas Bihl Eliminated in 9th Place

[user25067]

Tonight's bubble boy is WSOP-Europe H.O.R.S.E. bracelet winner Thomas Bihl. Though he made aces and tens on seventh street, his opponent rivered a king-high straight to take him out one spot off the money. Ever stoic, Bihl barely cracked a frown as he hit the rail.

And we're down to our final table...
