In Need Of Chips

Meanwhile, Ivo Donev is down to just 80,000 after losing a sizable pot to Martin Jacobson.

Also shortstacked is Lukas Benkovic. He shoved under the gun and everyone folded -- he showed {5-Spades} {6-Spades}, and big blind Ciprian Hrisca, who had been considering the call but thought better of it, showed {5-?} {10-?}.

Micha Hoedemaker Eliminated in 19th Place (€10,640)

Busted
Busted
Micha Hoedemaker is a goner after getting his chips in either before the flop or on it with {K-Hearts} {7-Hearts} and finding himself up against Marino Serenelli's {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}.

Board: {7-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}

Serenelli rather un-serenely shouted something that sounded like, "Il torre vivo!" (this reporter's grasp of Italian = poor), and Hoedemaker and his friend Noah Boeken, both sucking on what appeared to be promotional lollipops from the Holland Casino in Amsterdam, made their exit.

Zoltan Toth Closing in on 500K

Zoltan Toth took more chips off his nemesis Micha Hoedemaker. Toth rivered a Broadway straight and tried to trap the young Dutch player. Zoltan checked and Hoedemaker checked behind. Zoltan showed {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} and won the pot. Hoedemaker mucked his hand in disgust. He slipped to 150,000 while Zoltan is sitting on a stack worth 490,000.
