The Table with No Action

With most of the action thus far happening on the other table, one wouldn't even realize there were two tables in play still. Hakan Dalokay opened to 30,000 on the table we have yet to see any action from and Mathieu Clavet reraised to 87,000. Dalokay mucked his hand and Clavet was pushed the pot. It's not much, but this has pretty much been the extent of the action on this table.

Hakim with the Supreme Double

From the cutoff seat, Jeff Hakim moved all in for 134,000. Kfir Yamin, who has been involved in some way in almost every pot today at his table, made the call from the big blind. He held the {A-Diamonds}[Js} and was dominating the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for Hakim.

Much like he did yesterday, Hakim staved elimination after the board ran out {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and he doubled to 281,000. Yamin dropped to 200,000.

Kelly Kim Eliminated in 16th Place ($12,995)

Kelly Kim (Day 3) - 16th Place

Unfortunately for Kelly Kim, he won't be making a deeper run than he did last year in this event, taking 11th place for $20,760.

After Foivos Pettas raised to 24,000, Kim moved all in for about 175,000 from the button. Martin Loeser was in the big blind and reraised all in to get some isolation. Pettas folded and just like last year when he busted, Kim was dominated on his final hand. He held the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Loeser the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

A final board of {K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} left Kim felted and eliminated in 15th place for $12,995, making for a two-year total of $33,755 in Cyprus.

Ucali Trips Pay Off

On the board of {J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, there was about 60,000 chips in the pot between Ahmet Ucali and Manig Loeser. Ucali fired the river for 29,000 and Loeser made the call.

Ucali tabled the {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for trip fives and won the pot, moving to 440,000 in chips. Loeser slipped back to 412,000.

Kfir Yamin Eliminated in 15th Place ($14,290)

Kfir Yamin - 15th Place

There hasn't been any significant action for a while, but we finally got something to tell you about and it's big news. Kfir Yamin has been eliminated in 15th place, making this bad news for his fan base.

Zsolt Vasvenszki raised to 27,000 from the hijack seat and Yamin moved all in from the big blind for 210,000. Vasvenszki thought for a bit and then made the call, holding the {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. His hand was good and in fact dominating the {A-Hearts}{3-Spades} that Yamin held.

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades} and that was the end of the line for Yamin. Vasvenszki moved to about 870,000 in chips while Yamin left with $14,290 in prize money.

Jacks for Krause

After Foivos Pettas raised to 31,000 from middle position, Andreas Krause made the methodic call from the big blind. The flop came down {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and both players checked.

The turn brought the {5-Spades} and they both checked again. There wouldn't be any betting until after the {K-Clubs} put two pair on board on the river. Krause fired 60,000 and Pettas tank-called.

Krause tabled the {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and won the pot to move over 400,000 in chips.
