Jomeen Completes Roller Coaster Ride

Karim Jomeen's day has endured more twists and turns than an entire Series of Columbo today, but the final chapter saw him eliminated from the event rather than holding the title aloft.

After nurturing a 20,000 stack from his nasty aces versus kings beat, Jomeen managed to double his way up to 46,000, before feeling the wrath of Ronald Lee in seat one.

All in with {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} versus Lee's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, Jomeen was in need of the luck that had previously evaded him. The first four cards - {8-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{J-Spades} - seemed to be offering him a second life, but right at the death, a {K-Hearts} hit the river to send him home in devilish manner.

"Keep the cards there," requested Jomeen as he dipped into his pocket.

There was then a rather awkward moment as Jomeen fiddled around with his phone trying to take a picture of the board. Despite the pause, his opponents were gentlemanly in their patience and Jomeen managed to get his parting shot before slipping away into the distance.

Lee, meanwhile, just about had his foe out-chipped, and is now up to the 100,000 mark as a result.

Bold Move From Baldwin

Eric Baldwin
Eric Baldwin

Eric Baldwin opened the cut-off to 7,000, Quinn Do raised to 20,000 from the small blind, Baldwin announced "all-in" and Do called.

Both players seemed relieved when hands were revealed:

Do: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Baldwin: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

"Good luck," wished Baldwin, but he may have regretted that sentiment as the board came {Q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs} to send him home.

Rasing into the Big Stacks

James Mitchell started the day at the top of the chip tree and although he's still in he's dropped down a few branches. He just won a pot against the two chip leaders to move up 190,000. He raised to 5,000 from early position and was called in three spots including Viktor Blom and Darren Woods in the blinds.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Mitchell bet 12,300 when checked to him. Both Blom and Woods called to go to the {9-Spades} flop where all three checked. The river came {3-Clubs} and both chip leaders checked to Mitchell again and he fired 36,000 after some thought. Both players folded and Mitchell scooped in the pot.

Laak Gone

Phil Laak has just been eliminated. His {A-}{K-} couldn't spike against John Conroy's pocket fours. There will be no double bracelet for Laak, who claimed his first earlier in this 2010 WSOP Europe.

Get This Money

"Let's put it together; get, this, mo-ney"
"Let's put it together; get, this, mo-ney"

On the flop of {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}, a big pot was born between Nick Schulman and Phil Ivey. Schulman checked the flop and Ivey fired 10,000. Schulman made the call.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} and Schulman checked again. Ivey fired 30,000 and again, Schulman made the call.

The river completed the board with the {9-Clubs} and Schulman checked. Ivey fired 80,000, leaving himself with about 65,000 behind. Schulman went into the tank. He tanked for several minutes as a crowd formed behind him on the rail and media members and camera crews rushed to the scene. Eventually, Schulman gave it up and Ivey was awarded the pot.

Schulman dropped to 230,000 from losing this pot while Ivey saw his stack grow back to 270,000.
