The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{K-Spades}{8-Hearts}, and Duhamel was eliminated.

Kristijonas Andrulis (Day 1)
Kristijonas Andrulis (Day 1)

From the hjiack seat, Thomas Wahlroos raised to 6,500. Scott Seiver called from the cutoff seat, then Kristijonas Andrulis reraised to 18,500 on the button. Play folded back to Wahlroos, and he made it 41,000 to go. Seiver folded, but Andrulis had other things in mind and moved all in.

"All right, let's go," said Wahlroos after a minute of thought. He held the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, but was crushed by Andrulis' {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

The flop, turn and river ran out {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and Andrulis won the pot. He had Wahlroos covered and moved to just under 400,000 in chips.

Emil Patel yesterday in the Main Event
Emil Patel yesterday in the Main Event

Emil Patel entered as one of the last players, but he's already been knocked out. Justin Bonomo took out Patel and he explained to us what happened.

Bonomo raised under the gun and Patel ended up defending his big blind. The flop came down {A-}{K-}{10-} with one diamond, and Patel check-called 12,000.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} and this time Patel check-called 37,000. The board was completed with a {4-} and Patel checked a third time. Bonomo bet 100,000, and Patel called all in for 85,000. Bonomo turned over {a-}{K-} and took down the pot. Patel mucked his cards and made his exit.

Dan Smith Out, Varlashin in

Under unknown circumstances Dan Smith has just been eliminated. The only thing we heard is that he lost with pocket tens to jacks.

All players agreed on letting one more player in. Vladislav Varlashin, who finished 23rd Place for €26,661 in the Main Event, was the final player to enter this tournament. That brings the total amount of entries up to 49. A payout is expected shortly.

No Comeback For Alvarado

JC Alvarado was left behind with little chips after doubling up Isaac Haxton just before the break. After the break he got his final eight big blinds into the pot with {Q-}{8-} from the button. Andrew Lichtenberger called from the big blind with {K-}{Q-}, and the board brought mere blanks.

Juanda Jumps Back into The Lead

Paul Phua
Paul Phua

Paul Phua has just been knocked out by John Juanda. The latter was already stacking his newly won chips, and Philipp Gruissem explained to us what had happened.

Apparently Phua had raised pre flop after which Juanda called. On a {A-}{Q-}{8-} flop with one heart Juanda check-called, and the turn was the {9-Hearts}. Juanda check-called Phua's shove and he turned over {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Phua was drawing live against Juanda's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, but the river was the {Q-}.

Phua was knocked out and Juanda jumped back into the chip lead.

Dwan Eliminated By Benefield

Tom Dwan
Tom Dwan

Tom Dwan was just the first player to be eliminated after the re-buy period finished. On the turn with a board reading {A-}{J-}{3-}{Q-} the money went in, and Dwan showed {K-}{10-}. Benefield held {A-}{Q-}, and hit a full house on the river when another {q-} showed up.

Benefield is up to around 475,000 chips and with that one of the chip leaders.

Fresh Faces

There were three players waiting for a fresh 150,000-chip stack. The following players will enter the tournament after the break. Sam Trickett has rebought.

Big Slick vs. Queens

On the second-to-last hand at their table, Sam Trickett and Daniel Negreanu got all the money in preflop with ace-king versus queens. Here's what happened.

From under the gun, Jonathan Duhamel raised to 6,000. Negreanu flatted from the small blind, then Trickett reraised to 21,000 out of the big blind. Duhamel folded, and Negreanu reraised to 53,000. Trickett wanted to raise small, but due to French gaming law, had to make it at least 106,000. Negreanu then shoved, and Trickett called.

Trickett: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Negreanu: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The flop came down {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} to keep Trickett in front. "Oh come on flips," sighed Negreanu.

The turn was the {A-Clubs}, and that gave Negreanu the lead. The river completed the board with the {9-Clubs}.

Trickett lost the hand and opted to rebuy.
