Elvis Folds to a Five-Bet
Level 14
: 2,500/5,000, 1,000 ante
From the hijack, Bas de Laat opened for 10,000. His neighbor in the one seat Piotr Marzejon three-bet from the cutoff to 26,000. On the button Pierre Chambon cold four-bet to 63,000 and both blinds quickly released.
De Laat leaned forward to check how much Marzejon was playing, and announced all in. Both Marzejon and Chambon quickly folded.

Wendt Out With a Set
Level 14
: 2,500/5,000, 1,000 ante
From middle position Martin Wendt made it 12,000 to go and Griffin Benger in the big blind was the sole caller.
The flop came 
and Benger checked. Wendt made a continuation bet of 14,000 and Benger check raised to 32,000. Wendt shoved all in and Benger called so quick, we didn't have time to make a count on Wendt's push.
Martin Wendt: 
Griffin Benger: 
The 
on the turn was a blank but the 
on the river sure wasn't.
"Unlucky man" said Griffin.
Wendt answered with some not too kind sounding Danish words while leaving the table.

Marcher Hits Lucky River to Stay Alive
Level 14
: 2,500/5,000, 1,000 ante
From early position Griffin Benger made it 10,500. Johan Goslings flatted right behind him, and so did Sami Pullianen from the cutoff.
Glenn Marcher shoved from the small blind for 66,000 and the big blind folded. Benger asked for a count and folded as well. Goslings now shoved all in and Pullianen folded right away.
Johan Goslings: 
Glenn Marcher: 
Marcher was already getting up after the flop (
) and turn (
) hadn't improved him, but the lucky on the river had him sat down again.
Benger was shaking his head a little, and Marcher asked him why he was doing that. "Because it's a terrible shove. I like you and I want you to stay around, so I'm disappointed."
The two discussed the hand for a bit more, with Marcher telling Benger that he was fine with getting it in on a flip as there was already so much money in the middle. Benger shook his head some more and they went on to the next hand.
40 players remain, 4 to the money.

Play Slows Down
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
With just 2 more players to go home empty handed, the tournament has slowed down a bit. There's no real stalling going on just yet, but big pots have not been seen for some time now.
Quentin Lecomte Eliminated
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
From the hijack, Quentin Lecomte shoved all in for 70,000. The cutoff folded but Emil Westerberg on the button called. Both blinds folded.
Quentin Lecomte: 
Emil Westerberg: 
Lecomte asked for a split after the 
flop, but the poker gods decided otherwise; on the turn and 
on the river.
