Dang, Leah Out

Trai Dang was just knocked out on Table #249, leaving three players. And Michael Leah is gone from Table #243, also leaving three players.

Williams vs. Halioua; Mueller vs. Schneider

Two of our tables have now made it to heads up.

On Table #246, David Williams just knocked out Jeffrey Boudreau, so now he and Michel Halioua are the only two left. Williams has about 210,000 right now, and Halioua 150,000.

And on Table #247, Greg "FBT" Mueller just used pocket kings to eliminate Daniel Kraus who was all in before the flop with {J-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. The board came {2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Schneider has a slight advantage as they begin heads up play with 190,000 to Mueller's 170,000.

Dwek Down

Jonathan Dwek was just all in preflop with A-9 and was up against two players -- Marc Naalden, who had A-10, and Norman Michaud, who had K-10. Naalden and Michaud checked down the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Spades} board, and Dwek was eliminated, leaving four players over on Table #249.

Malaguti Up, Bellande Down

Flaminio Malaguti
Flaminio Malaguti
Shawn Buchanan raised from the button, Jean-Robert Bellande three-bet from the small blind, Flaminio Malaguti made it four bets from the big blind, Buchanan dropped out, and Bellande called.

The flop came {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Malaguti bet, Bellande raised, and Malaguti called with his last chips, showing {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} versus Bellande's {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}. The turn was the {3-Hearts} and the river the {K-Spades}, and Malaguti survives.

Bellande, meanwhile, was crippled on that one, and soon after was all in with {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} versus Andreas Hoivold's {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. Bellande couldn't catch up, and he's out.
