Vielhak Eliminated by Smith

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Richard Vielhak was spotted on his way out of the tournament area after the final hand of the level while his large stack was pushed over by one seat. The board and cards of Dan Smith, who won the pot, were still showing.

On a board of {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}, the {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} of Smith were good enough for jacks full and Ali Eslami confirmed that Vielhak had ended up second best with pocket queens. While Smith already has a decent stack, Eslami tops that by a significant margin.

Michael Mcnicholas followed shortly after and that reduced the field to just 65 contenders after four levels on Day 2.
