Nenad Medic and his super short stack are out of the tournament.
A player in middle position raised it up to 9,000 and Medic went all in for his last 12,500. The small blind however, re-raised to 25,000 and the initial raiser moved all in and got an insta-call from the small blind.

Tuan Le and Gylbert Drolet built a sizable pot by the time we got to the table. They were at the river with the board reading . Drolet had put out 30,000 and Le was shuffling and reshuffling a handful of chips while considering his options. Le elected to call after a few moments and Drolet tabled for a flush. Le looked as if his hand was the winner before the river and kicked his cards into the muck.
After getting all the chips in preflop, Olivier Busquet's was leading another player's . The board ran out and Busquet sent the other player to the rail.
Busquet's stack is now a little above the average at 206,000.
