Gierse Eliminated by Black
Level 6
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Over on the outer table, a preflop clicking war unfolded and Taylor Black four-bet to 42,000. Soon after that, the chips went in against Marius Gierse with the latter at risk in the following duel of premium pocket pairs.
Marius Gierse: K♣K♠ 
Taylor Black: Q♠Q♥
The Q♠J♦8♥ flop improved Black to a set of queens while the 9♥ turn gave Gierse four additional outs to survive. None of them came on the A♣ river and the stacks were briefly counted.
"I have two sixty, you cover," Gierse said and quickly headed out of the tournament area.
