Toni Ville Ojala Eliminated in 6th Place (€160,000)

Oj vey.
Oj vey.
Mihai Manole, down to only 750,000 or so, chose to make a small raise to 150,000. Carter Phillips called on the button, and the action moved over to Toni Ojala in the small blind. Ojala re-popped to 400,000. Manole passed, leaving himself short indeed on just 600,000. Back to Phillips -- who now four-bet to 980,000.

Ojala disappeared into his own private tank of indecision, before announcing all in for 2,375,000.

Insta-call.

Ojala: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Phillips: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}

Board: {3-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}

The Finnish player is finished, and Phillips regains the chip lead with 6,065,000.

Difference Between a Nitroll and a Slowroll

Action folded to Mihai Manole in the small blind and he moved all in for 650,000 total. Santiago Terrazas was in the big blind and tanked. He asked for an exact count and then tanked some more. On the live commentary, Jason Mercier explained that Terrazas may be nit-rolling, meaning he's tanking with a hand that he should've snap-called with simply because he is a tight player.

"It's not a slowroll, it's a nitroll. He's not really slowrolling him, he's just a tight player." said Mercier.

Eventually, Terrazas folded.

Isabelle Mercier Leaves Team PokerStars

Incidentally, owing to the folks on the live feed and their tendency towards verbal incontinence, it has just now become public knowledge that Isabelle Mercier is leaving Team Pokerstars. The very best of luck to Ms. Mercier in all her future poker endeavors.

Asa Smith's brother just emailed the live commentary team. He mentioned that if Asa doesn't win, he'll eat his hat. He went on to say that Asa's already won the most attractive player at the table.

Jason Mercier repsonded to that, "That sounds like an email from his mother, not his brother. I'd be a little weirded out if my brother called me attractive."

Manole Pushes Again, Gets Called

Asa Smith raised for the third hand in a row, this time from the under the gun position, and Marc Goodwin called on the button. Over to Mihai Manole in the small blind who paused...

...and then moved all in for 595,000. Back to Smith...

...who reraised all in.

Goodwin folded, and they were on their backs.

Smith: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Manole: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}

Board: {2-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {8-Spades}

A slightly disappointing chop, although, with Goodwin's chips in there too, that still represents a much-needed boost to Manole's stack.
