We are down to the final two tables and here are just a few hands from the Non-TV table.
Firstly, Bruno Launais opened to 52,000 from early position. Andreas Wiese and Jose Severino both called from behind and we had three players heading to the tables first flop.
Flop:
Launais and Wiese both checked and Severino plonked a tower of yellow chips worth 100,000 in front of him and the other two guys folded giving Severino pot number 1 at the Non TV Table.
The second hand of the table saw Bruno Launais again open but this time from under the gun. Team Pokerstars Pro Martin Hruby called from the cut off and we had two to the flop.
Flop: and the action was checked to the turn. Turn: and Launais made a considerable bet of just under the size of the pot and Hruby folded.
The Day Four rollercoaster which dropped Antonio Buonanno only to raise him back up just as quickly has come off the rails and crashed him out of the tournament. It's been an exciting ride, but the final part of the journey was clearly disappointing for the Italian, who made a stand preflop with , called by chip monster Kontantinos Nanos with . The whole pot was only 200k, but as he's demonstrated before, that could have been enough to start a comeback.
Nanos told the dealer that he didn't need threes, "Just a split pot!"
It certainly looked like that would be the probable outcome, as the board ran out ......but the river was the and Nanos shook Buonanno's hand with a sympathetic frown on his face (although it's never genuinely depressing to stack another player's chips).
Tonio Röder opened from late position with a raise of 45,000 and Matthias Lotze made the call to his direct left. Then that was pretty much it as the two of them checked it down all the way leaving Lotze to scoop the uncontested pot and add the chips to his stack.
We reported right at the beginning of this tournament how Antonio Buonanno had his hopes dashed early doors when his trip Queens were busted by Botonds straight. We then reported his fabulous comeback and now we once again have to report that Buonanno is again in a whole world of hurt with only 144,000 left.
Buonanno raised to 45,000 and Konstantinos Nanos called from the blinds. The flop was and both players checked. The turn was and Nanos bet 45,000 and Buonanno made the call. The river was the and Nanos bet 145,000. "Do you bluff?" asked Buonanno before making the call. "Sorry," said Nanos as he turned over for a flopped full house and Bounanno mucked.
Then in the next hand Buonanno shoved for his remaining 144,000 and Nanos called from the Blinds. They shook hands and Buonanno was in a dominating position with his against the Nanos . The flop got Buonanno agitated as it was to give Nanos the nut flush draw. Nanos started laughing but the Italian did not see the funny side. The turn was and the river . At first Buonanno thought he had won the pot before it was pointed out that it was a split pot because they had both hit the straight. Nanos thought this was hilarious but Buonanno did not. Eventually after the heat had died down both players enjoyed a joke.
Surinder Sunar had already more than doubled, after flat-calling Michael Eiler's under-the-gun 47,000 raise from the small blind with just 50,000 behind. Anestis Pantazidis called in the big blind as well and called Sunar's shove on the raggy flop - Eiler folded. Surinder turned over pocket queens which stayed ahead of Pantazidis' pocket eight all the way.
We actually lost count of how many times Sunar doubled up today, but his admirable grinding could not last. He got it in ahead the last time - to Kirill Zapletin's - but the board came down to send the old-school UK legend to the rail.
