Money Rising, Players Falling

The current batch of eliminated players can console themselves with more than their tournament buy-in back -- places 54 to 46 get €4,900. This is no relief for the tension of being short-stacked and all in, though -- the big grin shown just now by Fiachra Meere when his preflop reraise went uncalled (amid much table tapping and, "Nice bet"-ing) proving that. "If that's the only one for me all day, I'll smile for free," added Meere.
