Azapl Ousted

Level 16 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A player with the nickname Azapl was down to just 6,000 in chips. He was in the big blind and the rules at this event is that the big blind gets put in before the ante.

The action folded around to a player with the nickname Gaja who completed the blinds with {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Azapl turned over {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and was a favorite to double up until his opponent paired the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop.

Azapl began to leave the table as the {4-Spades} came on the turn and was officially eliminated after the {7-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

The action is just seven players away from the money with 86 players remaining after Azapl hit the rail.

Set for Igna Poker

Level 16 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jerome Rousseau bet 18,000 into a pot of around 40,000 with the {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Spades} on the board. A Spanish player known as Igna Poker jammed more than enough to cover the 35,000 or so Rousseau still had left behind.

Rousseau went into the tank for a couple of minutes before he made the call. Rousseau then slammed his chips on the table in frustration when he saw Igna Poker held {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a set to beat his {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
