End of a Century
We're down to 99 players at the Pokerstars.net EPT Vienna, and will in all likelihood reach the money positions tonight during the next two hours scheduled to play.
The unfortunate 100th place was Hendon Mobster Barny Boatman whose stack had dwindled from its high point yesterday (he was briefly amongst the chip leaders mid day) and left him with 45k and ready to move in preflop with . Button Dominique Papesch reraised all in over the top, and after one of those more-frequent-than-you'd-expec t small blind timewastes he saw that was likely to be his eliminator. He pushed forward the Queen a little bit and waited as the dealer brought the nut flush for his opponent and knocked the veteran tournament player out.
Interesting side note - Boatman said that it could have been curtains for him a lot earlier if he hadn't made a huge laydown on that board with a pair of eights on it - he passed the under house with sixes and avoided the quads that busted his neighbour. But it was all for nought, in this event at least.
He could always jump in the €2k side event like de Melo has.
