Jan-Peter Jachtmann was walking away from the tournament area when we got out to the floor. Joining him on the rail was Mohsin Virani, who got in an ace-high suited rundown blind versus blind and couldn't improve against the of Pedro Zagalo.
That means the bubble is here, and play is hand-for-hand.
Sylvain Loosli bet 27,000 on a flop after the big blind checked, and Mandy Calara potted all in from the button for 142,500. The big blind folded, and Loosli followed suit after about 25 seconds.
With on the felt, Samuli Sipila bet 70,000, about the pot, and Peter Eichhardt called on his left after using two time extensions. Sipila shoved for 63,000 effective on the turn and Eichhardt quickly mucked.
At the other table, Leo Nordin and Laszlo Bujtas got it all in preflop but both players held aces and neither made a better hand, so they chopped.
Oliver Weis raised in middle position and got three-bet to 100,000 by big blind Shyngis Satubayev. As Weis was thinking, Satubayev urged him to fold, but Weis called anyway. The flop came and Satubayev shoved for just 47,000 but got a fast muck.
