Per Ummer Doubles Through Husnu Sincar

Per Ummer
Per Ummer

Per Ummer is back to 130,000 chips after doubling through Husnu Sincar.

Ummer's 62,000 stack went into the middle with {A-Spades}{10-Spades} which held against Sincar's {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} when the community cards fell {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

Andras Nemeth Busts Out

Andras Nemeth has been nursing a short stack for a while but not anymore because he has been eliminated.

Husnu Sincar min-raised under the gun and the action folded to Nemeth on the button. He got his 14,000 chips into the middle and Dominik Nitsche called in the big blind. Sincar tried to raise but was told Nemeth's raise was not a valid raise due to its size, so Sincar could only call.

Nitsche checked the {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop then folded when Sincar bet.

Sincar: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Nemeth: {K-Spades}{8-Spades}

Nemeth needed running cards to a split or an eight to win but neither scenario happened as the turn and river were the {2-Clubs} and {j-Spades} respectively and Nemeth became the tournament's latest casualty.

Chaadeh Cheesed Off

Dominik Nitsche opened to 12,000 preflop and George Chaadeh moved all in for his final 35,000. Behind him Stuart Fox reraised all in for 45,000 and Nitsche made the call.

Chaadeh: {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Fox: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Nitsche: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The flop came {7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} which gave the shortest stack a few more outs but the {6-Spades} put him within touching distance of a treble up. However, the {Q-Spades} on the river was enough to give Fox the entire pot, boosting himself to 145,000 and knocking out Chaadeh in 36th place.

Chino Rheem: Poker's Answer to a Yo-Yo

Sam El Sayed
Sam El Sayed

Sam El Sayed has doubled up through Chino Rheem. Having been watching action elsewhere, we arrived to find Sayed counting down his remaining 268,000 chips to which Rheem was counting out to match.

The board was showing {J-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Sayed's {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} were proudly on display (according to Aubin Cazals, Rheem showed a seven then mucked).

Marko Neumann; Bubble boy

The bubble has burst ladies and gentlemen and it is German pro Marko Neumann who is the unfortunate soul who popped it.

He got his chips in with {A-Spades}{k-Clubs} against the {A-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} of Kemal Sevevi. The five community cards were {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades} bringing no help to Neumann and with his exit the surviving 36 players are all in the money here in Cyprus.
