The Tragic Fall of Isabelle Mercier
Mattern turned up
and was well behind Mercier's 
. The flop, though was 
, pairing Mattern's nine and leaving Mercier drawing extremely thin. The turn was the 
and to add insult to injury, the 
appeared on the river, making Mattern trips. After the hand, Mattern was up to 48,300 and a clearly unhappy Mercier down to 52,000.
Only a few hands later, Mattern moved all in from the cutoff and Mercier called from the big blind, turning up
to his 
. "My turn" she said dryly, referring to his earlier suckout.
All looked sunny for Mercier on the
flop. The turn was the 
and Mattern picked up four more outs with a gutshot straight draw, and the on the river filled it in cruel fashion. Mercier cut down her stack to pay him out, slamming her chips together as she pushed them toward the middle. She was left with less than 2,000 in chips.
Parilla Cripples Martensson
dominated by Patric Martensson's 
, he spiked a king on the river of the 
board to stay in the game, on 92,000.Martensson, on the other hand, was down to just 8,000.
Tiny Double Up for Martensson

Board:
Martensson micro-doubled up to around 20,000 and folded his button the next hand to leave him still just about hanging in there as they went to the break.
Isabelle Mercier Eliminated in 16th Place (€10,557)
Mattern opened for 10,500 and Brian Jensen called from the big blind. Both players checked the
flop and the that fell on the turn. The river was the and Jensen set out an 8,000 bet, eliciting a fold from Mattern. Jensen turned up
for top pair and Mercier peeked at her cards for the first time. She turned over 
and with a heavy sigh, headed out the door to applause from the rail. I bet Isabelle is looking for that punching bag from her infamous PokerStars commercial right about now.
