Vos vs. Los

Mark Vos bet out 10,000 on the river of the {K-Spades} {J-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {10-Spades} {5-Hearts} board with 20,000 already in the pot, and Fedor Los gave it a good long think before calling. Vos turned over {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for flopped two pair, and Los mucked his hand.

Vos: 120,000
Los: 48,500

Temporary Los

Fedor Los made his chips back a few hands later, though -- with 20,000 in the pot by the river of the {10-Hearts} {K-Spades} {2-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {Q-Spades} board, Christoph Berti bet 9,300 -- but Los raised all in for around 40,000, and after a long dwell, Berti gave it up.

Los is back up to 70,000.

Not Luke-ing Good for O'Kelly

Luke O'Kelly has been eliminated from today's event. He raised with {A-?}{Q-?}, was reraised by Daniel Perfeito who had apparently been three-betting pretty light. This time he had the goods though in pocket queens, and the case queen on the flop removed any glimmer of excitement for O'Kelly.

O'Kelly is not alone in busting, however, as he has since dropped his laptop on the floor and can no longer get it to work. "It hasn't been a good day," he reported dejectedly.

No Luck for Neufeld

Trevor Neufeld has suffered a massive disaster, going from 70,000 chips to sweet nothing in just two awful hands.

With Jasper Wetemans all in with {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}, it couldn't have looked better for Neufeld -- he was holding pocket aces. But a {4-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} board later and a total lack of diamonds in Neufeld's hand meant that Wetemans doubled up and Neufeld was down to 30,000.

The very next hand, he found pocket kings and got his whole stack in against Mark Vos' {A-?} {K-?} -- and bang, out came the ace to send the unfortunate Neufeld to the rail. Smacked in the face by the deck, indeed.

Luskebox

Says it all
Says it all
Marcel Luske is on fire. Just a few hands after knocking out Marc Jacquetin, he got involved in a raising war with Dennis Uhrenholt, which ended up with Luske all in and Uhrenholt with just 8,000 chips behind.

Uhrenholt: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Luske: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}

Board: BANG {A-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {2-Diamonds}

Luske doubles up to 90,000, and Uhrenholt is desperate.

Uhrenholt Survives, Laursen Sort of Survives

Allan Laursen moved all in from the button for 14,000, and in the big blind Dennis Uhrenholt called all in.

Uhrenholt: {A-Hearts} {8-Spades}
Laursen: {A-Spades} {J-Hearts}

Board: a two-pair-tastic {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {6-Spades} {8-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}

Uhrenholt was back in the game with 20,000, while Laursen was down to a mere 3,700. He doubled up the next hand though when his {Q-Hearts} {3-Spades} came good against Joseph Buhmann's {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} on the {9-Hearts} {2-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} board to hang in there by the skin of his teeth.
