As we approached his table, Wannes Verscheure was already getting up and told us straight away he had jsut busted. Without showing much disappointment, he told us he had shoved with pocket eights after an under the gun open. His 80,000 shove from the cutoff got alled by the initial raiser who had pocket queens.
The board did nothing for Verscheure who hit the rail. A lot more players busted the last 40 minutes, the following players have also hit the rail:
Sidsel Boesen opened under the gun to 10,000 and action folded to Mohanathas Sivagnanam in the cutoff who three bet to 21,000. The button and both blinds folded, Boesen made the call.
Boesen check called a bet of 27,000 on , and check called another 32,000 on the turn.
The river came the and Boesen checked for the third time. Sivagnanam thought about it for about ten seconds before sighing and checking behind with a loud knock on the table.
Boesen showed but that hand would go straight to the muck as Sivagnanam tabled for a full house.
"I put her on kings from the start" said Sivagnanam to a player who noticeably raised his eyebrows upon witnessing the showdown.

Jouny Hanna was down to 83,500, and got it in before the flop against his old nemesis Andreas Johansson.
Johansson had while Hanna had .
Hanna was already a bit down when the appeared as the window card, and the that followed wasn't making him particularly happy either, but the that accompanied the two other flop cards helped a lot.
The on the turn was effectively a blank and the on the river didn't make a difference either. Straight for Hanna which doubled him up.

Rasmus Agerskov opened to 8,000 from middle position and Johan Goslings right next to him shoved for just about 100,000 in chips. Action folded back to Agerskov who made the call.

Johan Goslings:
The Dutchman needed an ace or king, but instead the flop would come just about as bad as they could for him: .
Goslings needed help on the turn to stay alive, but would instead end up drawing dead: .
The on the river was there just to make things official and Goslings made his way to the exit while Agerskov started stacking his chips to make one of the biggest chip castles in the room.
Máté Mécs open shoved his last 50,000 in from early position. Ullerup Tve Hansen behind him shoved over the top all in for about 150,000 and action folded to Ville Jantunen on the button who had both players covered and also went all in. Both blinds folded.
Máté Mécs:
Ullerup Tve Hansen:
Ville Jantunen:
Jantunen was the favorite, but at least one player at the table had faith Mécs would win; "Deuces never loses" he said.
The cliché came true: . Mécs was now in front for the main pot, but Jantunen was still leading for the far bigger side pot. The on the turn changed nothing, but the on the river did.
"Thank you" said Mécs to his neighbor who now looked like a fortune teller. "It's just a fact you know" laughed the player in the one seat.
Jantunen wasn't laughing so hard, he was counting out chips to hand to his opponent. Jantunen was left with about 60,000, but busted out not much later.
