From early position Tomasz Gluszko opened to 600 but any hopes of seeing a cheap flop were soon dashed as Mustapha Kanit, to his immediate left, three-bet to 1,400. Gluszko called and the dealer got to work putting out the flop.
Gluszko checked his option to bed but Kanit, who needs no excuse to fire a bet, made it 1,525 to play. Gluszko sat studying his opponent for close to a minute before springing into life and check-raising to 4,200. Kanit made the call around 30 seconds later.
The was the turn card and after a brief pause Gluszko lead out for 5,200. Kanit did not seem very impressed at his current predicament and ended the hand by sending his cards back to the dealer.

"What is going on in this hand?" Shouts Bardah as he looked to the heavens, "you just flat 18k?" He motioned to Genovesi, "I have been in some tough spots before, but this is one of the toughest…I have put over 20,000 of my chips into this pot and I have to fold…I have outs too," said Bardah before finally folding his hand.
Genovesi then pretended to fold and the whole table burst into rptures and laughter at the reaction on Bardah's face. Genovesi pulled his cards back and called.
Scott showed and needed a queen or a seven to survive as Genovesi held for the nut flush. The was not one of Scott's outs and she headed to the sidelines whilst Genovesi became the new chip leader.

Champions Club member Sean Jazayeri has been eliminated from the WPT Malta Main Event in cruel circumstances. Jazayeri got his chips in with pocket aces against the queens of Svetlana Afanasjeva. The aces stayed ahead until the turn when a third queen made an appearance and like that Jazayeri has been eliminated.
Mustapha Kanit has been on life support for the last level or so and now he has been put out of his misery thanks to Tomasz Gluszko.

Marcelo Marigliano does not have the face of a man you would say is an online legend, but the man better-known as "luckexpress' is certainly that. Back in 2009, Marigliano took on Tom "Durrr" Dwan in the Million Dollar Challenge and he has just graced WPT Malta with his presence, albeit a short visit.
We missed the hand but we just saw him heading out of the tournament floor and where his chips once were is now an empty space. It is safe to say he has busted out.
