Split luck for the two of the Europeans still in. Peter Charalambous admitted to "have gambled" after repotting an open raise from Allan Le in the cutoff to 34,500 with another 5,000 behind. Le called to see the 
flop and Charalambous moved all in with 
. Le called with 
for top pair and the gut shot and also stayed ahead on the 
turn. The 
river however completed the flush for the Brit and he doubled up.
John O'Shea raised the button to 9,000 and got two callers in the blinds. On the 
flop the action was checked through, the big blind bet the 
turn for 10,000 and only O'Shea called. We then saw the 
river complete the board and the big blind got paid off for 11,000 when showing 
for a boat.

When I approached the table of John O'Shea, I saw by far more chips in front of him and immediately asked what happened. Apparently he got it in with 
on a

Nick Kallenbach opened for 12,000 from the hijack and was met by a pot-sized three-bet from Jason Somerville in the small blind. The big folded, Kallenbach dropped in his entire stack of 51,500, and the cards were turned up.
Kallenbach:
Somerville: 
Somerville was ahead with kings, but a high flop could have spelt trouble. Fortunately for him, and much to the dismay of Kallenbach, the flop came down a lowly 
. The turn officially left Kallenbach drawing dead, and after the was put out on the river for good measure, he took his leave from the tournament in 22nd place.
