. His opponent turned over 
and hit a runner-runner diamond flush to send Ramdin to the side events.

We joined the action at the turn and the board was showing 
. The players in the hand were Day 1a chip leader Martin Kabrhel, in the hijack seat, and Team PokerStars Pro Richard Toth, in the cutoff. Kabrhel checked, Toth bet 11,500 and Kabrhel made the call. The final card was the and Toth moved all-in when checked to. Kabrhel, who hadn't stopped staring at Toth throughout the whole hand, had a little bit of think time before mucking his cards.

Tom Marchese has lost half of his stack in the first level and the majority of it has headed the way of Isabelle Mercier. The pair just clashed, in your classic all-in pre flop coin flip situation, and Mercier came out on top.
