Nam Le Elliminated

Nam Le
Nam Le
It hasn't been a good day for Nam Le, first getting his aces busted by flopped trips, and then running into them for his last several hundred chips. Of course, his sixes didn't spike a set, and he was gone.

Luske Eliminated

Looking for the exit
Looking for the exit
No sooner had the fashionably late Marcel Luske arrived than he was heading for the door again. All in preflop with {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} against his opponent's {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}, he suffered a bit of a bad beat on the {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} board to give him the rest of the day off.

Slotboom Moving Up

Further good fortune for Rolf Slotboom, after calling a short-stack's all in and also a decent stack's all in preflop.

Short stack: {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}
Decent stack: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}
Slotboom: {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}

Board: {K-Spades} {10-Hearts} {5-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs}

Both other gentlemen hit the rail, and Slotboom is up to 10,000.

Evdakov Outdraw

Nikolay Evdakov is up to 10,500 after eliminating a player in the ugliest of manners. Holding A-K against his all-in opponent's pocket aces on a king-high flop, things weren't looking good for Evdakov -- until he spiked another king on the river to send his outdrawn opponent to the rail.

Nam Le Crippled

Nam Le is down to just 500 in chips after his pocket rockets were busted by Jonas "Nebuchad" Danielsson's {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} on a {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}{J-Hearts}{2-Clubs} board. All the chips went in on the turn, but little did Le know that he was beaten in two spots, an unknown player all in on the flop with {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and taking the main pot. Danielsson snapped up the side pot, however, and is currently on 3,600.
