Katja Later

[user22113]

I needed any excuse to show this picture

Katja Thater has just been eliminated and I have to be careful what I say because she is seated right next to me. She was sitting on less than $6000 and got all of it in before the flop with {10-Diamonds}

against

. It was all looking good until the river brought the inevitable {A-Diamonds}

, and that, as they say, is that.

New Chip Leader

Tobias Holmeider has over 50,000 in chips at the moment and is playing at least 50% of his hands.

Meanwhile Marcel Lüske is gone, {J-Hearts}

no match for {A-Hearts}

.

The obligatory thanks to our host Pokerstars

[user22113]

Having just munched down on my 70th slice of pizza this hour I think its only fair I take a moment to say thanks to our host Pokerstars. The hospitality has been first class and the surroundings have been superb for all involved. They have really raised the bar this time.

Sebastian Ruthenberg chip leader

[user22113]

Somehow he got paid off by {7-Spades}

on a

when pushed all in for 11,500 into a 19,000 pot. Not sure what hand he had but he's on 42,000 and appears to be the current chip leader

Some chip counts

[user22113]

Markus Golsen (right) still has 32,000
Roy Brindley 8,000 and finding the going tough on Golsen's table
Tony Chessa 7,500 shaking his head and talking to himself "I only dream of getting dealt hands like that" as Aces come up against Ace-King on his table.
Jani Vilmunen 11,000
Roland De Wolfe 14,000
Mickey Wernick 6,000

Another mobster gone

[user22113]

Ross Boatman made his exit with the monster that is {J-Clubs}

.

After a player in mid position limped in for 200, and the button made it 850 to go Ross moved all in for 5125 from the big blind and was called by the limper who turned over {K-Clubs}

. No miracle on the board and he is out. Joe Beevers who played on Day 1a is the only remaining mobster.
