No one has invested more in this tournament that Philipp Gruissem, who has fired four bullets for a £200,000 worth of buy-ins. Unfortunately that investment hasn't paid off as Gruissem just hit the rail for the fourth time in this tournament.
It happened after he opened for a raise with only to have Patrik Antonius, who held the same hand, three-bet to 42,000. Talal Shakerchi proceeded to four-bet to 76,000, Gruissem shoved for right around 230,000, and Antonius moved all in over the top. Shakerchi called off for roughly 330,000 and tabled , which held to win the monster pot.
Shakerchi nearly tripled while simultaneously eliminating Gruissem and crippling Antonius.

"It's a flip. It's a fair fight," Perkins said right before the dealer put out on the flop. The turn brought the and the river the eliminating Duhamel.
"Come on man, give me a huge," the loving Perkins said as both players enjoyed a three second embrace. Perkins is one of the most fun loving guys in the event and it almost seems like he doesn't like knocking players out.
