Walid Bou Habib has become our eighth place finisher in rather cruel circumstances too.
A preflop raising war resulted in Bou Habib being all-in with against Marvin Rettenmaier's . Bou Habib stood from his chair as soon as the flop was dealt and when you see it, it is easy to see why. The flop was almost perfect for Rettenmaier and when the turn and river were the and respectively, it was game over for Bou Habib.

Ladies and gentlemen we have our six final table members after Erik Cajelais was sent to the rail in seventh place.
Cajelais opened to 60,000 on the button and when the action passed to Marvin Rettenmaier in the big blind, Rettenmaier moved all-in. Cajelais made the call and turned over , which was in a coinflip against the of his German opponent.
Cajelais flopped the world when the first three cards came down and gained even more outs o the turn. But somehow he missed the plethora of cards that would have helped him when the landed on the river, and with that a disappointed Cajelais left the table and our final table was set.

And with that, we have our final table for the WPT here in Cyprus and although Erik Cajelais started today as the chip leader, he never really got going enough to increase his stack and ended up becoming our final table bubble when he lost a flip against Marvin Rettenmaier. However, it's Israeli Ran Azor who, managed to win the Merit Middle East Poker Championship 2011 in this very hotel last year, will be going into the final table as the chip leader, having had a yo-yo session
The German led a charmed life today, winning crucial pots with against the of Ran Azor for his tournament life. Later on he also managed to knock out Wahlid Bou Habib with against for a million plus chip pot. All in all, it still leaves Rettenmaier handily placed to become the first ever back to back WPT champion which would be a stunning achievement.
Joseph El Khoury is the short stack, while Victor Paraschiv, Kiryl Radzivonau and Artur Voskanyan all held the chip lead at some point during today, so we're expecting a real battle tomorrow.
The final table will start at 1pm and there will be a live stream featuring commentary from the legendary Jesse May. We'll see you then!
