"You're Going to Need a Tandem Bike!" William Thorson and David Eldar Bust (6th and 5th)

Thorson: always there or thereabouts in these big tournaments

The sickest hand of the High Rollers tournament just eliminated two players and made the crowd gasp as one at the cruel twists of the game they love.

Short stack William Thorson could have picked a better spot to move all in preflop, as not only did Randy Dorfman go all in with him, but so did David Eldar! Threeway on-their-backs moment:

Thorson: {7-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}
Dorfman: {7-Spades} {7-Hearts}
Eldar: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

The flop: {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs}

Another set for another pair of queens for David Eldar. It was starting to look like pay-ja vu when this happened:

Turn...{A-Spades}...River...{5-Spades} ! A fourflush on the river busted both shorter stacks and made a new giant stack for Randy Dorfman.

"You're going to need a double bike!" said Tony G.

William Thorson finished in 6th place, winning €99,000.
David Eldar finished in 5th place, winning €138,000.
