Players Falling Fast

Today's action has been progressing at a furious pace. We are already down nearly 50 players in just the first 90 minutes of play.

We pick up the action in another all-in hand.

Claudio Fonseca limps in from middle position, and Derek Feldman is the man who moves all in from the cutoff for another 7,400. Fonseca makes the call and tables {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} , while Feldman is at risk but ahead with {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} .

The board nails Fonseca squarely when it comes {9-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} , giving him top pair and a flush draw.

The turn changes the tides, as the {A-Clubs} puts Feldman back on top.

However, the river makes Fonseca the winner, when the {Q-Clubs} gives him trips, and eliminates Feldman from the tournament.
