Main Event
Day: 4
Rugini Doubles Through Saizu
Rugini:
Saizu:
Board: bink!
Rugini's set of queens doubled him up to 1,720,000. The Romanian was left with just 126,000 and will need some serious help if he's not going to crash out of this tournament soon...
Sixes Are Good for Chouity
They saw a flop and Kelopuro checked. Chouity bet 325,000 and Kelopuro called, bumping the pot up to 1.2 million. Intriguing.
They saw a turn but this time time both players checked, and indeed they checked down the river too. Chouity tabled and following a muck from Kelopuro, Chouity cried, "Yes!" and celebrated with a little fist pump.
Claudiu Saizu Eliminated in 20th Place (€50,000)

Rugini:
Board:

Eyster On A Half-Shell, McCorkell Over 3 Million
McCorkell's stack was a total of 1,525,000 which represented over half of Eyster's own stack but the American made the call.
McCorkell:
Eyster:
The board came meaning that McCorkell is now the new chip leader.
Ramzi Jelassi Eliminated in 19th Place (€50,000)
Jelassi:
Talbot:
"All diamonds please," requested Talbot. "Straight flush," replied Jelassi.
Neither got what they wanted on the flop but Jelassi looked happy enough with the turn. But a fatal sent the pot to Talbot and Jelassi was left to make the long lonely walk to the rail.
Josef Klings On To The Pot
Perrins made the call before Klinger check once more on the turn. Perrins fired out 210,000 this time and Klinger called this time with the pot now over a million.
On the river Klinger led out for 500,000 with just 340,000 behind and Perrins tanked for several minutes. With a frustrated look down at his chips, the young Englishman mucked his hand to send the massive pot to his opponent.
Chen Doubles Through Hairabedian
Chen: that classic shaky-hand-maker
Hairabedian: for a flush draw
Turn:
River:
An incredibly relieved Chen doubled to 1.2 million while a dissatisfied Hairabedian dropped to 1.6 million.
Rugini Means It
Nick Schulman Eliminated in 18th Place (€50,000)
The board never gave Schulman much hope when it came .
Chen looks to be up to about 1.7 million. Not bad considering he had just 15,000 at 5,000/10,000 yesterday.
