Freddy Deeb Eliminated in 30th Place ($66,675)

[user67765]

Freddy Deeb came over the top of a raise from Thomas Boekhoff for all of his 70,000 chips, however Michael Martin woke up with a big hand and flat called. Boekhoff got out of the way and the cards were flipped.

Deeb: {A-Spades}

Martin:

The flop all but ended Deeb's hope as it came {J-Spades}

to give Martin a set of jacks. The turn was the {9-Spades}

and a meaningless {6-Diamonds}

From Zero to 66k in 3.2 Days

[user25067]

Stefan Geim's story is an interesting one. One of my German sources on the floor just told me that Geim nearly had to quit his job in order to play this event, since his company was refusing to give him the necessary time off. At the last minute, his boss relented and allowed him to make the trip. Good thing he did-- Reim won his seat in a freeroll on Intellipoker and is now guaranteed a payday of at least $66,675.

After starting the day as the smallest stack in the room, Reim has now doubled up four times so far.

"Tent Boy" Doubles Donning a Bathrobe

[user38449]

Up on the feature table, Vincent Secher, aka "Tent Boy," has just doubled his tournament net worth after getting his chips in with pocket jacks against Pablo Ubierna's pocket tens. A ten-high board solidified the hand for Secher, who is sporting fluffy white bathrobe over top of his clothes. We're guessing he borrowed the robe from the hotel room that the kind folks at PokerStars.com put him up in after hearing that he'd been living out of a tent and commuting to and from Nice, France.

Vincent now has approximately 200,000 in chips - well up from the 92,500 he started the day with.

[user67765]

Noah Siegel limped into the pot from early position and Anthony Chatelain came over the top for an additional 46,600 chips which represented his entire stack. Siegel thought for a moment and made the call.

Siegel: {A-Spades}

Chatelain: {9-Diamonds}

The race was on! Chatelain held the lead and maintained it on a flop of {6-Hearts}

. The turn was also safe with the {5-Diamonds}

leaving Siegel with only six outs to win the pot. One of them was the {A-Clubs}

which peeled off on the river to eliminate T6Anthony from the tournament in 32nd position.

Stefan Geim Doubles Up

[user38449]

Stefan Geim of German moved all in from under the gun holding a pocket pair of sixes. Action then folded all the way around the table to Gerasimos Deres in the big blind, who asked the dealer, "How much more?" 63,500 was her reply and Deres slid a stack of brown chips across the betting line to make the call, tabling {A-Diamonds}
