George Danzer has just been eliminated from the competition after his pocket aces were cracked by Morten Lokken's pocket sevens. A flop of {7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} did the heavy damage and caused some anti-climactic drama as well.

Lokken opened with a 1,525 bet on the flop and Danzer strangely tossed 2,500 worth of chips into the middle, intending to call.

The turn and river brought running eights, giving Lokken a full house and the checkmark for the hand, subsequently sending Danzer to the rail.
