Alex Goulder - 22nd place
Alex Goulder - 22nd place

We got to the table and Alex Goulder was all in and at risk against Martin Godsk and in need of a lot of help as he was dominated. Goulder held {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Godsk {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. The board would run out {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Godsk would deliver the knock out blow to Goulder who was eliminated in 22nd place for $10,299.

Tommie Janssen was the chip leader after the first day and already had reason to cheer earlier today when the Netherlands won 2-1 at the very last minute to advance to the quarter finals of the World Cup in Brazil.

However, his poker day ended within the first five minutes of play. He got it in with {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} against the {A-}{K-} of over-night chip leader Simon Deadman and was unable to improve.
