Harsh End for Yunis
Nick Yunis won't be adding any more points to his Player of the Year standing from the main event as he has been eliminated.
Christian Zetzche, a German colleague of ours, brought us brief news of his exit.
He dropped down to 11,000 when a Swedish table mate made a move against him and made runner runner straight to beat his smaller straight.
Then there was late position raise and a flat call (same Swedish guy) on the button before Yunis squeezed all-in with ace-nine. The original raiser called with ace-six out of a 20,000 stack before the Swedish player re-shoved with pocket sevens. We're not sure if the other called off the other half of his stack, but we do know that the Swede's sevens stood up to win the pot.

Torelli Gone
From under the gun, Alec Torelli raised to 1,200. Action folded over to Robert Finlay on the button and he three-bet to 3,500. The two blinds folded, then Torelli reraised all in for approximately 18,000. Finlay called and tabled the

The flop, turn and river ran out 
and Torelli was eliminated.

Clavet Shoves On Wigg
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Anton Wigg opened the betting with a raise to 1,200 from middle position and his only customer was Mathieu Clavet on the button, albeit it after a little kerfuffle due to Clavet not putting enough chips into the pot not once but twice! He eventually put in chips worth 1,200 and it was off to the flop.
The first three cards onto the board were 
and Wigg made a continuation bet 1,800 but then folded when Clavet moved all in for 10,975. As he folded, Wigg showed 
and he does not seemed too bothered about missing out on this pot and he is busy bopping along with whatever his choice of music is. We like to think it is the Minnie Ripperton classic "Loving You" but that is unconfirmed.
Jorgensen Check-Shoved On By Kamatakis
After Iliodoros Kamatakis checked the 
board with 14,150 chips in the middle, Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen bet 8,500. Kamatakis check-raised all in and had Jorgensen covered. With 22,400 behind, Jorgensen gave it up and Kamatakis won the pot.

Deeb And Puchkov Need The Floor
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
We were attracted to the table Shaun Deeb calls home after there was some commotion on the rail of it. Konstantin Puchkov was sat in the small blind with 11,000 in front of him and Deeb was in the cutoff having moved all-in for circa 60,000.
Puchkov sat for close to a minute before letting his hand go. The Russian then argued that his 11,000 raise was actually just a call but Deeb thought it was an overchip raise. Deeb asked the floorman Paul Neaves for his opinion and he said if he had to rule he would have called Puchkov's action a raise.
