Said Causes Chaos and Walks Out

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After losing the majority of his stack the previous hand and riling up his tablemates with his behavior, Oliver Said moved all-in from under the gun for 4,900 and was called by Niklas Nyman (early position), Daniele Gegennaro (hijack) and Kaspar Schmid (small blind)

The flop read {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Nyman bet 8,000 and was called by Schmid, but Degennaro opted to fold.

Both players checked the {q-Spades} turn and at this point Oliver Said stood up and walked out of the hall. Once again both players checked the {j-Spades} river. Nyman flicked over the {k-Hearts}, but Schmid tabled {a-Spades}{6-Spades} to take the side pot.

As Said wasn't at the table his hand was mucked and Schmid was awarded the main pot.

Sandor Eliminated

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jozef Sandor moved all-in for three big blinds (4,500) from under the gun. Sandor was called by Jeffrey Gregor and Marcus Bonna.

There was no further betting action as Gregor and Bonna checked the {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} board down to showdown. Gregor rolled over {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} which was good enough to take the pot and eliminate Sandor
