You won't find him in this tournament any more - he's busto.
Saar Wilf opened for 25,000 and Nima Ahrary reraised an indeterminate amount - indeterminate because before we could count it, Wilf had reraised enough to cover Ahrary, who called all in.
Wilf:
Ahrary:
Board:
Ahrary is no more, and Wilf muttered something about it being the first time he'd won a race in forever. He's looking good for the novelty - he's at 850,000.
Miltiadis Kyriakides has been knocked out after being all-in on a flop with . Joep van den Bijgaart pushed all-in behind him with and this was enough to force Luis Jaikel to fold face up.
The gave Kyriakides even more outs and the shipped the pot to Van den Bijgaart who now has 863,000.
Thorsten Sch?fer, one of three chunky stacks on his table, has been involved in many a preflop scuffle (often with Kristijonas Andrulis, who looks like he's come out on the wrong side of a few of them). Markus Grewe, however, looks like he had his number a minute ago, when Sch?fer predictably raised on the button, got three-bet and returned fire with an extra 84,000. Grewe sat still for a while before slowly pushing out yet another raise. Sch?fer took one look at the big stack of blue 10k chips and threw his hand away.
"I've had that feeling so many times today," ruefully commented Andrulis.
Robert Schulz has been knocked out after he made his move with preflop and found Russian Ilya Gorodetskiy (who came 16th here last year) making the call with .
The board offered little in the way of support, coming .
Mathias Kuerschner shoved for exactly 100,000 from the cutoff, and on the button Thorsten Schafer made the call. The blinds got out of their way, and they were on the backs.
Schafer:
Kuerschner: a somewhat desperate but still live
"Slowly please," Kuerschner told the dealer - although there was no need, as the TV crew spent a minute or two arranging themselves, and Kuerschner got to enjoy the 10 second pause between flop, turn and river that the cameras require.
Board:
Kuerschner duly busted out, and Schafer is at 800,000.
Ben Wilinofsky has doubled to the heady heights of 850,000 after being all-in on the turn of a board against Timo Pf��tzenreuter. The latter had a multitude of outs on the turn with but missed on the river.
Timo Pf��tzenreuter dropped to just 110,000 as a result.
The board read when the chips went in, Zoran Mitic all in with for a set and Mario Adinolfi holding for a flush draw.
River: , bringing in the flush.
"Yes!" cried Adinolfi and banged the table. "I wanna win this tournament!" (Please imagine fantastic Italian accent - he sounded almost exactly like Wario saying "I'm-a gonna ween!" in Mario Kart.) "I'm not here for the money," he added.
