There was a couple of all ins, but no one busted in any of the hands. After all the hands were completed, the tournament director and staff recounted the field. It was then announced that everyone remaining was in the money as 160 players remained. Magic.
After a raise and a call pre flop, Ruben Visser and Roberto Bermejo saw a flop of . Bermejo, the original raiser, led for 8,000, and Visser called. The turn was the , and Bermejo tossed out another 8,000. Visser raised to 28,000, and Bermejo tank-called.
The river was the , and Bermejo slowed down, checking to Visser who fired 30,000. Bermejo thought for a moment, then moved all in for about 45,000. Visser, thinking he was beat, unhappily tossed in the extra 15,000, and Bermejo turned over for a pair of kings. Visser opened up for two pair, eliminating Bermejo.
"Oh, Nooooooooooo!" Bermejo yelped, putting his hands over his face.
Bermejo sat in shock for a minute or two, then finally got up out of his chair and left the tournament area.
