Break Time
Tony Cousineau Eliminated in 13th Place (£40,481)
All of this except the last bit is hypothesis; we actually only saw the cards being flipped but that seems to be the most likely course of things given their respective positions.
Anyway, we digress.
Cousineau:
Akenhead:
Board:
A massive roar of approval erupted from Akenhead's supporters at the rail -- a little unsportsmanlike, perhaps, but there you go.
Either way, Mr. Cousineau is busto in 13th, and we are edging nearer to our final table...
Minor Chink
On the
flop, both players checked, and again on the 
turn, before Hawrinlenko produced a minor chink in the Mercier armour by taking down the pot with a bet of 55,000 on the river.Hawrilenko - 541,000
Mercier - 2,691,000
Bjorin Doubles, Bichon Crippled
We're not sure how the action went, but the cards looked as follows:
Bjorin:
Bichon:
Board:
However that came to pass, the stacks stand at Bjorin 624,000, Bichon 136,000 and the metaphorical PokerNews wooden spoon that means he is now the shortest stack in the tournament.
By the by, while the Bjorin/Bichon hand was taking place, Barry Shulman got up, holding a stack of chips, and walked all the way around the table to deliver those chips into the stack of Tony Cousineau. We're assuming (hoping) that Shulman was giving Cousineau change rather than anything weirder than that.
Quote of the Day
"You could double us all up and still be chip leader."
Teddy Sheringham Eliminated in 14th (£40,481)
. On this occasion, however, it was an own goal for the former England International as Mercier was sitting on 
and duly made the call.Board =
And before the river was even dealt, it was ready Teddy go with Sheringham making that lonely trip down the poker tunnel. Mercier, meanwhile, has 2,502,000. Yum.
Ram Vaswani Eliminated in 15th Place (£40,481)
Vaswani, short-stacked, got it all in holding
and was looked up by Shulman who tabled a pocket pair of eights.The
fell in favor of Shulman, who now sits with right around 1.1 million in chips.
Saar Wilf Eliminated in 16th Place (£31,198)
Mercier:
Wilf: couldn't be much worse with
Board:
"Did you have a set?" asked Wilf cheerfully as he stood to leave, referring to that big hand a little earlier. No, was the reply. "Ah well, you were good. Good luck everyone!"
