Marius Kudzmanas raised from under the gun to 9,000 and he was called by big blind Rene Kuhlman. The flop was dealt and Kuhlman checked. Kudzmanas continued with a bet of 8,000 and Kuhlman folded.
Kuhlman said earlier in the tournament when he was seated with friend Joris Ruijs that was going to take all of the latter his chips. He said he accomplished that as Ruijs was eliminated a little bit earlier in the tournament. ''But I also gave the chips away again''.
