Nitsche put to the Sword by Dartagnan

Our thanks to JP Kelly for telling us how Dominik Nitsche busted, the two were sat side by side so Kelly had a front row seat. "He raised with ace-king and seat five (Christophe Dartagnan) called. The flop was K-J-7, Dominik bet, Dartagnan raised and Dominik went with it. Nitsche had A-K and Dartagnan had jacks," he said. "Dominik only had about 25 big blinds to start the hand," he added.

So that all means that Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov is the only player who can complete the Triple Crown here in Deauville.
