Thor Hansen, Scandinavian frontrunner, now out
Having dropped from low to dangerously low, Thor Hansen moved all in when it folded round to him on the button. Small blind Ephremsen and big blind Lisandro both called.
They checked the flop, but on the turn Ephremsen bet out 5k. Lisandro called. The river brought the - check-check and Ephremsen's pair of Sevens (his hand being ) took the lot. Thor Hansen just mucked his hand and got up to leave in a manner befitting the seasoned, well respected player he is.
Phil Hellmuth raised from the button And Ramzi Jelassi moved all in with a shortstack. Hellmuth called with K-4, which drew a slew of ribbing from Humberto Brenes and Erick Lindgren. Jelassi was ahead with A-9 until the dealt spread out the flop of A-K-K. The turn was a J and the river was a J. Jelassi headed to the rail. Hellmuth had been badgering the young Swede all day and they shook hands after the hand was complete.
Waaaaaaaa!
Gary Jones is happy as Larry after doubling up off Patrick Bruel. I joined the action with the board reading and Gary all-in for 16k. Bruel called with but was inevitably disappointed at the sight of Gary's .
Still, the Frenchman had plenty of outs, all of which failed to arrive on the river. Bruel, left with a humiliating 1k in chips, bashed them onto the table in frustration and is about as happy as a hedgehog on a motorway.

Getting it all in preflop, Dave 'El Blondie' Colclough raced his against . He stood tensely as the board brought two Jacks, but no other high or straightening cards, and he raked in the pot bringing his stack up to 120k and knocking his opponent back to around 80k.
Marvin Babul - Two Outed (sort of)
The cameras crowded round one of two tables remaining in the lower part of the Empire casino as short-stacked Marvin Babul was all in preflop with the rather outkicked vs. .
Flop: And now the A-3 had catapulted into the lead...
Turn: "Two outs!" mutter the table as the A-7 looks despairing.
River: That was one of them -- bustout for Babul.
