Tequila Time!
Upon the elimination of Zsolt Vasvenszki in fourth place, Van Marcus called to the waiter to bring two shots of tequila for himself and Mathieu Clavet. It's time for celebration as they're down to the final three, cheers fellas!
After they took the first shot together, Marcus asked Clavet if he wanted to do another. Before Clavet had a chance to respond, the tournament director said, "No, no, no. Only one per level." Our guess is we're in no-fun zone.
Zsolt Vasvenszki Eliminated in 4th Place ($90,950)
Zsolt Vasvenszki's fall from grace has been completed after he shipped in his last 390,000 or so holding the 
and was called by Andreas Krause with pocket tens.
The flop came down 
with one club, leaving Vasvenszki drawing slim. The turn brought another and the river paired the board again with another . Neither of those cards could give Vasvenszki the help he needed and he was sent to the rail in fourth place. He took home $90,950 for his efforts. Krause is holding the chip lead of the final three.

Andreas Krause opened to 180,000 on the button and Zsolt Vasvenszki popped it to 540,000 from the big blind. Krause re-raised all in for 1,290,000 and Vasvenszki snap-called with 
, having Krause's 
in dire straits.
The flop sure brought the action falling with two diamonds, putting Krause ahead with a pair of jacks, but Vasvenszki still had outs to a king or a flush. The 
turn card gave Vasvenszki a straight draw as well, but the river was another , sealing the hand for Krause.
Krause is up to about 2,650,000 while Vasvenszki is left with just about 400,000.
