Marcel Luske limp-called a pre-flop raise with A-J and saw the flop come down jack high. He check-raised his opponent all-in on the flop and unfortunately ran into Q-Q. No help for the Flying Dutchman on the turn or the river and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Fossilman Eliminated

[user24788]

Greg "Fossilman" Raymer busted out after he lost with pocket Jacks on consecutive hands! On the first hand, he raised and a player moved all in. Raymer called with J-J and was up against K-J. Sadly his opponent caught a four flush to cripple the former WSOP World Champion. He had less than 1,000 left.

Raymer found J-J on the very next hand and moved all in. An opponent called with Q-J. Raymer led until the river when a Queen spiked.

We thought the queues for the cash games were long yesterday, but today the lists for 2-5 and 5-10 NLHE are over 100 deep! The room's limits are rising as well, with several tables of 20-40 PLO running, and a 50-100 NL table just opened with Dario Minieri and Jan Boubli taking seats.
