Walthaus Eliminated
Jorn Walthaus, who traveled all the way from Hong Kong to play this tournament, walked by the media desk just now. He told us he had just been eliminated, though we couldn't have told that by his face as he was still all smiles.
Walthaus told us he had lost a lot of his chips in a hand against David Boyaciyan. In that hand Boyaciyan had opened to 400 and Walthaus had called. A short stack had shoved all in and both Boyaciyan and Walthaus had called. On a flop of 
with a flush draw, Boyaciyan had bet out 3,500. Walthaus had made the call. The 
on the turn made Boyaciyan check, and call Walthaus' 4,500 bet. The river 
made Boyaciyan bet out 8,000 and Walthaus folded. Boyaciyan showed 
in that hand, the all in player had 
and busted.
Walthaus had just 7,500 left after that hand and found himself all in not much later. After two limps, a player made it 1,200. Walthaus shoved all in and Barry Pietersz, the second limper, re shoved all in, the other player who had made it 1,200 folded. Pietersz showed up with queens and Walthaus with pocket sevens wouldn't improve.
