Mansour Khorramshani Eliminated by Erik Cajelais

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Mansour Khorramshani was saving all of his chips for Erik Cajelais and he has just donated them to the Canadian to become our 38th place finisher.

Khorramshani moved all-in for 205,000 in a pot containing just 21,000 chips on a board reading {A-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Cajelais tanked and then called with {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and was up agianst {A-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. The {6-Hearts} turn improved Cajelais to a flush and the {5-Hearts} river completed the hand and sent Khorramshani to the rail.

Steady Eddy Survives

[Removed:2] moved all in for 166,000 on a {J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop against Sam El Sayed, the latter made the call with {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} but Maksoud held {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and manage to avoid both ace and knave on the {2-Spades} turn and {4-Hearts} river.

A lot more people on the rail at the moment, remember the next person out gets nothing but everyone else is guaranteed at least $8,070.

Bubble Burst; Marko Neumann Is The Bubble Boy

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.
