Robert Firestone Eliminated in 17th Place (£16,313)

Peter Busch moved all in from the button, apparently on a steal and Robert Firestone snap-called in the big blind.

Firestone {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}
Busch {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs}

Busch flopped good though, the first three coming down {10-Clubs} {7-Spades} {2-Diamonds}. Firestone needed an ace, a queen or running straight or flush cards to improve. The turn, however was the {4-Spades} and the river the {8-Hearts}, sending him to the rail in 17th place.

With Firestone's elimination, the action has been paused while the remaining 16 players re-draw for seats on two tables.

Fabrice Soulier is intensely sweating his fellow Frenchmen David Benyamine and Antony Lellouche at Table 4 while Ylon Schwartz, in town for the High Rollers Event, just stopped by to check out the action.

Michael Tureniec Doubles Through Eric Liu

In yet another preflop all-in confrontation, Eric Liu took his {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} up against Michael Tureniec's {K-Spades} {J-Clubs}. The flop was boffo for Tureniec, coming down {K-Hearts} {J-Spades} {3-Diamonds}, making him two pair and leaving Liu drawing to two outs. It was all over on the turn when the {K-Diamonds} fell making Tureniec kings full. The meaningless river card was the {3-Diamonds} and Tureniec doubled up to 336,000.

Yilmaz = Busto
Yilmaz = Busto
Huseyin Yilmaz was super short and shoved. He doubled up when he scored trips with {7-Spades} {4-Hearts} . He moved all in on the next hand but lost that battle. He shoved for 75,000. Frode Gjesdal called along with Max Pescatori. The flop was {J-Spades} {9-Spades} {3-Hearts} . Gjesdal moved all in and Pescatori folded. Gjesdal tabled {K-Spades} {10-Spades} for a gutshot straight flush draw. Yilmaz showed {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and the river was the {A-Hearts}. Gjesdal won the pot and Yilmaz was eliminated in 21st place.
