Gierse Out, Brewer In
Level 10
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Marius Gierse was just seen leaving the tournament area and passing by the registration desk.
His former tablemates gave the details of how he was eliminated by Andras Nemeth.
Ole Schemion opened with a raise in the cutoff, and Gierse moved all-in from the small blind. Nemeth called from the big blind and Schemion folded.
Marius Gierse: 
Andras Nemeth: 
The board came 
, bringing no help to Gierse. Registration is open until the end of the one-hour dinner break after level ten, so he will have time to enter again should he choose.
Meanwhile, Chris Brewer has joined the field after his fourth place finish in the €50,000 Super High Roller.

Dvoress Sends Chidwick to His Pocket
Level 9
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
After Sirzat Hissou raised to 7,000 in the hijack, Stephen Chidwick moved in for his last 16,000 from the cutoff. Daniel Dvoress called on the button, as did Hissou.

flop, Hissou check-folded to a 12,000 chip bet from Dvoress to get heads-up with Chidwick.
Stephen Chidwick: 
Daniel Dvoress:
Dvoress' kings were well ahead of Chidwick's eights and the 
runout sent Chidwick to the re-entry table for a fresh 100,000 chips.
