Theiler Gets Bad News After River Call
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Picking the pot up on the river with around 60,000 in the middle and the board reading 8♥3♥8♦Q♠2♥, Urs Theiler was pondering his opponent's bet of 42,500.
After quite some time deliberating, Theiler made the call. His opponent showed 8♠7♠ for a set of eights and Theiler mucked.

Scalia Busts Schuler
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Karl Schuler had moved all in and was called by Mario Scalia, with Schuler at risk.
Karl Schuler: 10♦7♠
Mario Scalia: A♠Q♠
Schuler was in trouble and was out of his seat after the A♦J♠2♣ gave his opponent a pair of aces.
The 9♠ turn brought some hope of salvation for Schuler with a gutshot straight draw, but the 2♦ river was a brick sending Schuler to the rail.

Cards were on their backs and Christoph Spoerri was raking in the pot having just doubled up.
