Bernhard Perner Eliminated in 19th Place (€10,200)

Mickey Doft

It has been a great start to the day for Russell "rdcrsn" Carson and it's gotten even better, up to nearly 1.9 million after eliminating Bernhard Perner.

Carson raised to 37,000 under the gun and Perner called from the big blind. The flop came down {10-Diamonds}

and Perner checked. Carson bet 67,000 and Perner went all in for just a little bit more, 138,000. Carson called with {Q-Spades}

and looked to make a straight against Perner's {10-Spades}

.

It did not come on the {Q-Hearts}

turn, but the {8-Spades}

river card did the deed, busting Perner in 19th.

Russell Carson is nearing 1.9 million

Mini-Raise Gets Through

[user66118]

We just caught the tail end of this pot, but when we joined the action, there was {9-Diamonds}

on board and a pot of about 160,000 piled in the middle of the table. Huub Verdonschot stuck out a river bet of 108,000, and Jonathan Schroer was deep in the tank when we approached the table.

After at least two minutes of tank time, he cut out two towers of chips and made the minimum raise to 216,000. Verdonschot's cards hit the muck with a quickness.

Verdonschot - 510,000
Schroer - 660,000
