Emad Tahouh Crippled

On a board reading {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts} on the turn, Emad Tahtouh called a 2,000 bet from Jan-Willem Kamps. The river was the {10-Diamonds}. Kamps moved all in and Tahtouh called. Tahtouh turned up pocket aces, but Kamps had flopped a set with {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Tahtouh was left with only 400 in chips after the hand.

Tahtouh managed to avoid elimination on the next hand, when he pushed in with Q-3 against his opponent's pocket jacks. Tahtouh flopped a three and rivered a jack to take down the pot with two pair and double up to 800.

Jozef Berec Eliminated

All the money went in on a {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, Jozef Berec holding K-Q for top two pair, and Karsten Cobbing turning up {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for a set. The turn was the {8-Hearts} and the river was the {7-Clubs}, making Cobbing quad sevens. Berec was left with only 50 in chips.

Berec tossed those two quarters in on the next hand, holding {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, but Sam Khouiss woke up to J-J. No help for Berec on the board and he made an early exit from the Main Event.
