No Help for Lehmanski

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Maxi Lehmanski
Maxi Lehmanski

Max Lehmanski and Javier Gomez Zapatero saw a {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop together after Lehmanski had opened from a short stack. Lehmanski's remaining stack of a little over a 100,000 went in and Gomez called him off.

Max Lehmanski: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Javier Gomez Zapatero: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

Lehmanski had some outs to still win, although Gomez was blocking two of his straight outs. The {9-Clubs} turn and {10-Spades} river kept Gomez' hand best, and Lehmanski was ousted in 48th place.

Stefan Peukert

Tommy Nguyen keeps building his stack and the latest hand saw him knock out a short-stacked Stefan Peukert, who jammed blind on blind for just 80,000.

Stefan Peukert: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Tommy Nguyen: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The board of {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} provided an ace on the flop to improve Nguyen and Peukert was eliminated in 49th place. Their table broke right after, as only 48 hopefuls remain in contention.

Perrault Loses Flip to Peukert; Busts

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Marc Perrault
Marc Perrault

Stefan Peukert pushed for 99,000 first to act and Marc Perrault called out of the big blind.

It was a classic flip with the {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} for Peukert and the {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}, which ran out in favor of Peukert thanks to a board of {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

Perrault was down to 89,000 and shoved {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to get called by Tommy Nguyen with the {A-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board came {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{7-Spades} and that spelled the end for Perrault.

Another Hit for Calamusa

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Mihai Manole already had burned through two time banks on a {J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} board facing a 120,000 bet from Pierre Calamusa. Manole eventually flung a single chip wildly in the middle to call.

Calamusa showed {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a busted flush draw and Manole rolled over the winner with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.
