Tommy Pavlicek Busted

[user57637]

Juha Lauttamus has taken out the Canadian in the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

The action kicked off on the turn at which point the board read:
{7-Clubs}

-

The chips flew in three-way with the then chip-leader Norinder also involved, having both players covered.

{Q-Spades}

for Norinder and three of a kind
{9-Diamonds}

for Pavlicek and the second-nut full house
{5-Clubs}

for Lauttamus. A flopped straight flush!

800,000 in this pot and the Finn is now the clear chip leader.

Golser Doubles Up

[user50492]

Markus Golser makes a standard raise to 24,000 pre-flop and Marc Karam calls from the big blind.

The flop is {A-Hearts}

and Karam bets 30,000. Golser then moves in for 165,000 more.

Karam starts talking to himself. It seems he is sure that Golser has a flush draw or a bluff. He counts out the 165,000 and puts it to one side, stands up and spends another couple of minutes staring intently at the flop and Golser alternately. Eventually he announces "I call", swiftly followed by "Nice bet" when Golser shows his hand.

Golser {A-Diamonds}

Karam

Turn and river blank out and a 440,000 pot is shipped Golser's way.

Tomas Brolin Eliminated

[user57637]

Former prefessional footballer, Tomas Brolin from Sweden, has been taken down by Iliodoros Kamatakis.

It was all-in pre-flop:

{A-Clubs}

for Brolin
{J-Hearts}

for Kamatakis

The Greek screamed for a Jack and was rewarded with a Jack high flop.

Brolin was drawing dead on the turn but Kamatakis, seemingly still not satisfied continued screaming for the case Jack to make quads again which he didn't get.
