[Removed:133] Eliminated in 37th Place (€7,448)

[Removed:133], winner of the wager that resulted in Ludovic Lacay playing the whole of Day 2 with a toothbrush hanging out of his mouth, moved in with {Q-Hearts} {6-Hearts} and found himself called by chip leader Albert Iversen holding {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades}.

"Davidi Kitai told me," said Cournut, "That if you want to win, you say 'one time'. One time!"

Flop: {3-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {6-Diamonds}

"Yes!"

Turn: {3-Spades}

River: {A-Hearts}

"Oh."

Cournut's two pair is counterfeited, and he's gone in 37th place.

Saffari, So Good

Ofir Abramovivi raised to 14,500 only for Sebastian Saffari to push for 77,500. After some time (during which a whole all in played out on the next table), Abramovivi called, and it was a clinical affair for Saffari.

Saffari: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Abramovivi: {A-Clubs} {10-Spades}

Board: {7-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

While Saffari doubles to 160,000, Abramovivi is down to just 32,000.

Milan Andrejkovics was taken out by fellow Hungarian player Zoltan Toth. Toth opened for 12,000. Alex Kravchenko called. Andrejkovics moved all in for 67,000. Toth called and Kravchenko folded.

Milan: {K-Clubs} {3-Clubs}
Toth: {A-Spades} {8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {2-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Toth won the pot and Milan was eliminated.

Szabolcs Attila Saskoy Eliminated in 41st Place (€6,834)

Our second exit was a touch more controversial than our first. Szabolcs Attila Saskoy moved all in for the second time in three hands, and this time he was called by Alexander Kravchenko.

Saskoy: {A-Clubs} {7-Clubs}
Kravchenko: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}

Board: {2-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

The stacks were counted (Kravchenko had 105,000 and Saskoy looked to have around the same) and it was decided that Saskoy had 5,000 more than Kravchenko. The game continued and Sasko moved all in for his one big blind the very next hand -- but at this point Kravchenko piped up that he was missing some chips. Various tournament directors were called over, the maths was recalculated and it was decided that Kravchenko had indeed been short-changed, Saskoy didn't have any chips behind after all, and his hand was mucked and he walked away taking 41st place money with him.

Early Action

As might be expected, our smaller stacks have been wasting no time in getting involved -- there's still some good sightseeing time left for those who bust out early, after all.

One extremely early double up was that of Simeon Tsonev who got his chips in with {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs} on the very first hand against the {K-Hearts} {J-Clubs} of Janek Schleicher, and it held up on the {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} board to double him up to around 130,000.
