Cristian Dragomir, who some of you will remember for causing that hilarious/terrible (delete as applicable) Phil Hellmuth blow-up at the WSOP Main Event 2008 has just doubled up.
He was all-in for 80,000 preflop with 
against David Misha Van Der Weele's 
but got there by the river of the 
board.
Dragomir up to 160,000

Level: 14
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 300
Morten Mortensen raised to 6,700 under the gun and Alex Kravchenko in the cutoff was the only caller. Both players checked the 
flop, and they proceeded directly to the 
turn, when Mortensen bet out 7,900. Again, Kravchenko flat-called. Mortensen reverted to checking the 
river and Kravchenko checked behind.
"Ace-high?" hazarded Mortensen, turning over what we believe was 
. But it was no good - Kravchenko turned over a surprisingly premium and increased his stack to 205,000. Mortensen looked slightly baffled, and merely dipped to 320,000.
Johann Leiter opened preflop to 6,700 before Gabor Felsen reraised all-in for 48,500. Then David Misha Van Der Weele also moved all-in to cover the other two, back to Leiter who folded and we had a showdown!
Felsen: 
Van Der Weele: 
Felsen was shot down when the board came 
killing off any future any hopes in this tournament.
David Misha Van Der Weele seems to be involved in everything at the moment but after that exit, he has dropped back down to 100,000 after losing a 160,000 pot to Marc Ladouceur after yet another all-in preflop battle.
This time Van Der Weele was holding 
against the 
of Ladouceur which hit the 
board better.
Conclusion? Van Der Weele should only play the overcards and not underpairs in races.
Tomer Berda has just helped himself to 40,000 pot after out-flopping both Jack Powell and Luca Pagano.
Powell raised first in from the hijack seat and both Pagano (small blind) and Berda (big blind) called. The flop came down 
and all three players checked but when the 
fell on the turn Pagano bet 11,000 and this time only Berda called. Both players then checked the arrival of the on the river and Berda scooped the pot as all Pagano could show was the as he mucked. Berda had 
and the win.
Belgian powerhouse Philip Meulyzer is now up to 665,000 after knocking out yet another hapless soul.
Tayfeh Mohsen raised to 6,500 from the button, only for Meulyzer to make it 17,200 from the small blind. Mohsen went all in, Meulyzer snap-called, and it was a swift and clinical end for Mohsen.

A full board of 
was out on the felt when we got there; Dominique Franchi was betting out 25,000 from the big blind position. On the button, last year's runner up Russell Carson asked him, "What six do you have?"
"No I don't have six," replied Franchi.
"Something better than a six?" queried Carson.
"I do not understand," Franchi told him. "Not very good English. But not six," he continued. "Perhaps ace. Perhaps queen-king. Pocket fives. Nothing."
Carson folded. "Choose," Franchi ordered him, offering Carson his hole cards. Carson turned over the 
.
"I still lost," sighed Carson.
"You still lost," agreed Franchi. But not a six."
"Full house, sevens over sixes," opined tablemate Fatima Moreira de Melo.
Carson is down to 235,000, Franchi up to 210,000.
