After finishing fifth in the €5,300 King's High Roller last night, Andreas Eiler kept up the good run by eliminating the first player from the tournament. The unfortunate victim was Christian Taepper, who ran into an unexpected hand from the Austrian high roller.
On a 
board, Taepper bet 1,225 and Eiler made it 4,225 to go from the hijack. Dan Long Banh cold-called from the big blind and Taepper called as well.
The river brought the 
and Banh checked. Taepper elected to lead out 5,700, but much to his dismay Eiler moved all in. Banh folded and Taepper faced a decision for his remaining 9,000.
The German called it off after two minutes with 
, but was shocked when Eiler showed 
for the rivered inside straight that ended his tournament life on the spot.

Sweden's Oscar Anjou was the one to drag in the first substantial pot of the day. Anjou held 
and bet 3,700 on a 
board. Zoltan Ban made the call in position.
On the river, Anjou checked and Ban flung a T-5,000 chip casually into the middle. Anjou thought long and hard before making the call, but was right as Ban showed 
for the busted draw.
Anjou is a professional live cashgame grinder from Sweden but occasionally likes to dabble in some tournaments.
