As expected the players are being eliminated at an extremely fast pace since the bubble burst. Two of those to go recently included Mikael Johansson and the last lady standing in Lucille Cailly.
Cailly raised with king-queen on the button and called all-in when Sergey Baburin shoved with

Moments later Mikael Johansson got his short stack in with

The Post-bubble time at major tournaments is always fun as those that inched their way into the money suddenly feel the freedom to ship it in with reckless abandon.
We caught a perfect example of the kind of play we're seeing on tables across the room right now when Mark Jansen (
), Yoann Amaudry (
) and Slobodan Bjelobrk (
) all got it all in.
An ace on the flop was enough to give Jansen the checkmark and while Amaudry was crippled and Bjelobrk busted, he's suddenly back in contention.

facing the 
of Omeir. The board ran out , ending Nhouyvanisvong's tournament.
Next up was Ilan Boujenah, all in for about 110,000 after a 
board with . Sergio Castelluccio looked him up with

It was nice to see Anton Ionel sweating his friend and taking enjoyment out of the double-up, seeing he is one of those most at risk with just 18,500 chips.
