All Men Affair After Elena Litvinyuk Eliminated in 41st Place for €795

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Elena Litvinyuk
Elena Litvinyuk

A couple of weeks ago, Germany's Elena Litvinyuk won the WSOP Circuit King's Casino Women's Event for €2,331. Litvinyuk and her friends around King's Casino were all hoping she would improve on that cash in the PokerNews Cup Main Event.

The dreams of Litvinyuk and her friends are over as she was just eliminated from the tournament in 41st place. In the bustout hand, the action folded around to Litvinyuk in the small blind who jammed for about 225,000 chips all-in with {7-}{7-}. Normally a player would feel good about this jam from the small blind, since even if called it is usually a coin flip or someone calling with ace rag with a kicker lower than a seven.

The player in the big blind, however, woke up with {J-}{J-}. Litvinyuk was very behind before the flop and was unable to improve her hand with the help of the board.

Roman Cieslik Laps Around the Room

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Roman Cieslik
Roman Cieslik

King's Casino regular Roman Cieslik entertained us yesterday in Day 1C when he went all-in blind five hands in a row. When he was finally called, he was ahead in the hand only to lose to a two outer. Cieslik, however, ran a little better in Day 1D and is one of the players still in contention in Day 2.

Cieslik was just caught doing a lap around the room after going all-in blind and getting called. When he got back to the table, he learned he doubled up to 500,000 chips at the expense of Gerhard Böck when his {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} held against his opponent's {Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

Sanji Bastian Bhatia Doubles Up a Few Times

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Usually when a player has less than two big blinds left, there days are numbered. Sometimes, an epic comeback can also take place.

Sanji Bastian Bhatia is hoping for the latter as he just minutes ago had less chips to survive even one orbit. He doubled up twice to get to around 250,000 chips or eight big blinds. His second double-up was against Denmark's Thomas Pedersen when his {10-}{10-} held against his opponent's {Q-}{10-}.

BKRF Investments in the Chip Lead Despite Being Unable to See

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
BKRF Investments
BKRF Investments

We just learned that BKRF Investments, who recently hopped into the chip lead, is currently unable to see well. He broke his glasses and used his last pair of contacts. He can see his cards if he brings them very close to his face, but he can't see the cards on the board. Some of the friendlier players on the table have been telling him what is on the board, while others are less forgiving of the situation and are getting aggravated.

We overheard him telling one of his friends they should head to Munich if he makes Day 3 to pick up a pair of glasses or contact lenses.
