It was a classic race, Ruthenberg's
up against Martensson's 
. Martensson paired up on the 
flop and Ruthenberg couldn't improve on the 
turn or the 
river. When the stacks were counted down, all but 1,100 of Ruthenberg's 60,000+ chips were shipped across the table to Martensson, who is now on 123,000.
Ruthenberg's 1,100 chips were posted in the big blind on the next hand. Isabelle Mercier opened for 3,800, Atanas Gueorguiev reraised to 11,400 and Mercier folded. Ruthenberg looked at his cards for the first time to discover

First, he raised to 4,000 and then, with a wince, called a push from Csaba Toth. Lellouche's pocket deuces were behind from the start against Toth's pocket eights, and as the flop came down
givingToth quads and leaving Lellouche drawing dead, the turn and river were deemed unnecessary. Toth doubled up to 37,000 while Lellouche dropped to 72,000.Then a few hands later, Lellouche doubled up Nico Behling to 46,000, Behling's

To rub salt into the wound, Minieri tabled
and Barbosa looked positively nauseous.
The flop came down
and it checked around to Rotach, who bet 9,500; Barbosa passed but Minieri announced, "All in," thoroughly covering Rotach. Rotach called instantly, and his top two pair turned into a full house on the turn, rendering Minieri's rivered straight immaterial.Rotach:

"I can't win a showdown so you should call. I've won zero today!" he said with a smile.
Benelli made the call and turned over

. Lellouche flopped good when it came down
, pairing his four. The turn was a safe , but disaster struck on the river when the
