We're not entirely sure what happened, but we are sure that Ukrainian player Oleh Okhotskyi has exited the tournament. On a board he called all in from Jeffrey Hakim who had slightly more chips than he did. Okhotskyi might have had a jack but that was unclear. The in front of Hakim was clear as water though, the nuts secured him the near double up.
The entire board was already out and with on the table German player [Removed:203] had a yellow 1,000 in front of him. We're not entirely sure but it seems that Marie Furstoss is the only lady in the field today and action was on her. She raised it up to 6,500 and action was back on Mueller.
He thought about it for quite some time and someone actually called the clock on him eventually. Before the dealer had even called for a floor Mueller had called. Furstoss tabled and Mueller had to muck.
Jannick Wrang is up to 54,000 after hitting every single community card, making a nice value bet on the river and getting paid off.
A complete board of was on the felt and Wrang bet 6,800 into roughly 8,000. His lone opponent - Orpen Kisacikoglu - mulled over his decision before eventually calling. The EPT8 Campione champion showed for the flopped flush and Kisacikoglu mucked his hand. He's down to 32,000.
