De Meulder Done
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Matthias De Meulder fired off two bullets in this event, and he's decided to call it a night. De Meulder re-entered recently and he busted his second bullet even faster than the first.
De Meulder told us how he raised with 
from the cutoff and the button called. The flop brought out

De Meulder finally got knocked out when he re-shoved 
for 23 big blinds into a player with pocket jacks.

Jedlicka Busts Moneymaker
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
When we arrived at the table with Chris Moneymaker, Stefan Jedlicka was in the tank. It looked like Jedlicka had opened to 1,000 and then Moneymaker moved in for 6,375. Kruger had made the call, and then Jedlicka was thinking. Eventually, Jedlicka reraised all in to put the pressure back on Kruger. He tanked, then folded, leaving Moneymaker to do battle with Jedlicka.
"Please tell me you have ace-king," said a hopeful Moneymaker.
Jedlicka did indeed show ace-king with the 
.
"Yes! Well that's at least good," commented Moneymaker as he turned up the 
.
The flop, turn, and river ran out 
, and Moneymaker was off to the rail.
"I'll see you guys later," said the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event champion. "At least I get an early dinner."

to give his opponent trip sixes. The turn fell to give Balsiger a flush draw, and the river completed the board to give Balsiger a flush to eliminate his opponent.

Holz Rips and Doubles
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
We just spotted Fedor Holz sitting on a big stack, and he was kind enough to bring us up to speed with what happened.
Holz raised holding 
and three players made the call after which the flop brought out 
. All four players checked and on the turn another hit.
Now it was Holz who bet 1,200 after one player checked, and he got one caller.
The river was another and Holz moved all in for five times the size of the pot. He was called by and the German's bigger full house took down this pot.
