Mouawad Adds to His Stack.

[user22113]

Fredrik Haugen raises to 25,000 and is called in two spots.

Flop is {8-Diamonds}

and everyone checks.

Turn is the {5-Hearts}

and Joseph Mouawad leads out for 50,000, which Haugen calls.

River is the {3-Diamonds}

and Mouawad immediately moves all in.

Haugen takes a very long time to think about the hand before he eventually releases his cards.

The last Irishman standing -- a former professional soccer player -- Tony Cascarino, who has been nursing a short stack all day, has been taken down by Phidias Georgiou.

Casarino raised to 40,000, which represented half his stack, and was called by Georgiou in the big blind.

The flop was {4-Diamonds}

and Georgiou put Cascarino all in for his last 40,000. He called.

{Q-Hearts}

for Cascarino.
{A-Hearts}

for Georgiou.

Turn: {A-Clubs}

Perrault Somehow Survives

[user22113]

Paul Mendes raised from the small blind to 28,000 and Pascal Perrault moved all in from the big blind. Mendes called immediately.

{A-Diamonds}

for Perrault.
{A-Spades}

for Mendes.

Flop was {5-Diamonds}

, putting the Frenchman ahead.

Turn was {10-Clubs}

, giving Mendes the nut straight.

Perrault was left with just three cards in the deck for a split pot. The French crowd shouted for a queen, and sure enough, it came on the river. Pascal Perrault is very lucky to stay in.

Level: 20

Blinds: 5,000/10,000

Ante: 1,000

Lam Trinh is Busted

[user22113]

He made a big reraise all in against Josh Egan for 180,000. Egan thought for over a minute before being put on the clock, after which he called.

{7-Diamonds}

for Egan.

for Trinh.

The board came {3-Clubs}

and the New Zealander is now closing in on the chip leader.

Alan Smurfit is Eliminated

[user22113]

Straightaway on the new feature table, we have all-in preflop action.

Fredrik Haugen opened the pot and Marcel Baran made a minimum reraise from the small blind. Smurfit moved all in for less than 60,000. Haugen folded. Baran called for not much more than he already had in the pot.

{A-Diamonds}

for Smurfit.
{A-Hearts}

for Baran.

The flop came {7-Hearts}

.

The turn was the {9-Spades}

, but once again Baran flushed up on the river by hitting the {6-Hearts}

and he knocks out the Irish WSOP bracelet winner in 16th place.

The clock has stopped for a moment, as players are now redrawing seats for the final two eight-player tables.

Marcel Baran is the current chip leader.
