Vojtech Ruzicka and Stuart Fox both had around 50,000 at the start of the hand. After a preflop raising war the two players were both all-in with big-slick and although it ended in a chop, Ruzicka was put through the ringer.

The flop came 
prompting Ruzicka to say, "Wow."
The turn and river came 
and Ruzicka relaxed back into his seat.

In a level and a half we've lost an incredible 48 of the 198 players that came back today.
Johan van Til, better known in online poker circles by his moniker "Busto Soon" started the day with just a single 5,000 chip and it looked like his nickname was quite apt. However, the old poker saying that you only need a chip and a chair to win a tournament seems to be true as he now sits behind a stack of 67,500.
He did have a few more but he just lost a hand against Yotam Bar-Yosef over on Table 12. Bar-Yosef made it 1,700 to play from middle position and then called as van Til three-bet to 3,600 from the small blind. The flop came down and van Til lead out with a bet of 4,100. Bar-Yosef waited a few moments before moving all in for 26,800. Van Til was not prepared to match this bet and folded his hand.
Team PokerStars Pro Dario Minieri is out.
He was heads-up against Stefan Jedlicka and the river had been dealt to leave a 
board. Minieri had been the aggressor and on the river he moved all-in for around 42,000. Jedlicka called and turned over 
for a flush and in the rules of poker that beat Minieri's 
[
for a straight.
