Thorel Folds Getting 8-1

On the turn of a {3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} board, Alex Bilokur had fired a bet of 24,000 before Jean Noel Thorel made it 55,000 to play. Bilokur tanked, then moved all in for 75,600.

With 160,000 in the pot, Thorel needed to just put 20,600 more into the middle but after two minutes of thinking, he opted to fold instead.

Two More Down

We've lost former EPT champion Andrey Pateychuk and high stakes PLO specialist Rui Cao in the last couple of minutes. Pateychuk in particular had been mostly grinding a short stack patiently all day and it appears his luck has just run out.

Bailed Bond-ar

Andrey Bondar has been eliminated, after a {9-}{5-}{4-} flop was checked around between himself, Scott Seiver and Grzegorz Derkowski, the Russian moved all in on the {10-} turn. Seiver folded but Derkowski made the call with {J-}{10-} and Bondar could only show {7-}{3-}. No six on the river and we're down to four tables.
