Christophe Drahe Eliminated in 26th Place ($22,113)

Drahe sweats the turn
Drahe sweats the turn
Christophe Drahe just suffered a bad beat that he'll be tilting over for many weeks to come.

On a board showing {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}, Claudio Renaldi made a monster bet that put Drahe to a decision for all of his chips. After several minutes in the tank, Drahe made an impressive call holding just {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}. He was ecstatic to see his opponent turn over {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds}, as he realized he was way ahead in the hand.

Unfortunately for Drahe, the {3-Hearts} that fell on the turn put an abrupt end to Drahe's celebration and left him drawing to one of the three remaining fives in the deck to win the pot, but none would come and he was eliminated from the tournament in 26th place.

Renaldi, meanwhile, climbed past the one million mark in chips and currently sits with about 1.1 million -- just 100,000 behind current chip leader Gus Hansen.
