Lalwani Busts Tsairis

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

The flop showed {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Evangelos Tsairis was all in for just 325 chips. Rakesh Lalwani raised the pot to isolate successfully and Tsairis showed the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Lalwani was drawing to a straight and flush with the {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} and immediately got there with the {4-Spades} turn. Tsairis needed an eight or four to continue his chip and a chair story, but the river was a blank.

"Is this a re-entry event?" the Greek asked the floor staff and was given the confirmation right away, so expect to see him back in action soon.

On the button, Antti Marttinen moved all in for 15,025 and Hamie gave it plenty of thought before folding. Marttinen was moved to a new table soon after to balance the growing field.

Teusl Off to a Good Start

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Jessica Teusl
Jessica Teusl

The completed board showed {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Tomas Rous was all in and at risk. Jessica Teusl called and Rous confidently rolled over his {J-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for a flopped set and rivered full house. However, it was no good anymore as Teusl held {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} for the superior full house.

Siemund and Speranza Eliminated

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

The board was all but rushed away and a frustrated Peter Siemund left the table with the words "I didn't make a call before that I should have and now I run with second nuts into the nuts." Martino Cito raked in the pot and more than doubled his stack since sitting down.

Gianluca Speranza has also been eliminated. He got it in with {A-}{6-}{X-}{X-} on a board of {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{A-Hearts} only for Martin Rothaermel to flash the {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for the superior full house.
