Michel Rouge was on the short stack of 47,000 and open-shoved from the middle position. The player on the button called. After some thinking, Fred Berger in the big blind also called.
Rouge was already all in, but Berger and the button checked the 8♦5♣8♣ flop.
The turn was the 10♦. Berger bet 35,000 and the button folded.
Fred Berger: A♦10♠
Michel Rouge: A♠K♥
Berger had turned a pair and Rouge was down to three outs. A king didn’t come and he was eliminated.
The button raised to 22,000 and Mark Williams called from the big blind.
While the flop peeled the 10♥A♣Q♠ Williams was quick to check. His opponent fired for 35,000 and Williams made the call.
The turn was the 8♥ and the button prematurely moved all in. Williams made the call and both players made the call.
Opponent: Q♣10♠
Mark Williams: J♠9♦
The board completed with the 2♥ for Williams to send his opponent to the rail.

As PokerNews walked by the table Hollis Barnhart wanted to state that he had many calls from all over the world regarding his previous story.
Suddenly Barnhart announced, "all in" from the hijack and Peter Watry from the big blind called.
Barnhart exclaimined, "Oh no, I only did this for you", and flipped over the same hand from the previous story except it was suited this time.
Peter Watry: A♥K♥
Hollis Barnhart: 4♥2♥
Barnhart thought he might be golden on the flop of 5♣10♦2♠ but the turn A♣ and the river J♠ gave Watry a nice pot and left PokerNews feeling sheepish.
Three players saw the flop of K♥3♦2♠. Doyle Elliott in the small blind checked, as did Manelic Minaya in the big blind. Philippe Rup bet 31,000 from the cutoff and both players in the blinds called.
The turn was the 7♠. Blinds checked again and Rup bet 52,000. Again, both players quickly called.
The river came the K♠. Elliott checked. Minaya decided to go all in for 175,000. Rup folded and Elliott quickly called.
Minaya turned over 4♠5♠ for the flopped open-ender and turned flush draw, which made a flush on the river. Elliott showed K♣Jx for rivered trip kings.
James Brown limped from under the gun and Mark Toulouse made the call. The big blind checked to the flop.
The flop came 6♥10♥3♠ and both the blinds checked. Brown fired for 20,000 and only Toulouse called.
While the turn peeled the 9♦, Toulouse took the betting lead for 40,000. Brown raised to 100,000 and Toulouse moved all in. Brown made the call and both players revealed their hands.
James Brown: 6♠6♣
Mark Toulouse: 7♦8♦
The river was the A♠ for Toulouse to take the pot with his nut straight
The button raised to 13,000 and the small blind made the call.
Cynthia Keller moved all in for 143,000.
Both the other players were quick to fold for Keller to take down the pot unchallenged.
