"All in and a call," we heard the dealer yell from a nearby table. We made our way over just in time to find Ryan Spittles all in and at risk against Andreas Christoforou.
Christoforou: 
Spittles: 
Christoforou seemed more nervous than Spittles despite being ahead. The 
flop seemed to calm his nerves a little bit, but Spittles did pick up a wheel draw. The 
turn made the wheel draw obsolete as a four would result in a chopped pot, but that didn't happen as the 
blanked on the river. Spittles missed and was sent to the rail in 60th place.
Meanwhile, Andrey Danilyuk, Dmitry Yurasov and Clement Thumy have all been eliminated from the tournament.
