Casper Hansen Turns into a Ghost

Chip leader to start the day, Casper Hansen has just been eliminated from the PPT Cannes Main Event.

Unfortunately we missed the pre-flop betting action, though we know Casper moved in and his opponent made the call:

Hansen: {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

Upon seeing what he was up against, Casper said, "Aqui," (Spanish for 'here') and proceeded to push his chips into the middle.

The board round out {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {6-Hearts} giving Hansen's opponent the nut flush, spelling the end for the young pro from Denmark.

"The nuts . . . imagine that," Hansen said as he stood up to shake his opponent's hand before exiting the tournament area.
