Cary Katz has been eliminated by Jean-Noel Thorel and two further players busted shortly after including Steffen Sontheimer and Koray Aldemir. The latter ran with pocket queens into the pocket aces of Henrik Hecklen, while Sontheimer was ousted in two consecutive hands.

Katz three-bet an open-raise of Steve O'Dwyer to 23,000 from the button and Thorel called from the big blind. O'Dwyer made it three ways to the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop. Once the action folded to Katz, he bet 40,000 and Thorel raised to 80,000, O'Dwyer got out of the way. One time bank was used by Katz before he moved all in and Thorel called in a heartbeat.

Cary Katz: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Jean-Noel Thorel: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The board completed with the {9-Hearts} turn and {2-Diamonds} river, ending Katz's run on the first bullet.

Sontheimer raised the cutoff to 7,000 and Chris Hunichen three-bet to 24,000 out of the button, which Sontheimer called. On the {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} flop, Sontheimer checked and called a bet of 20,000 before the {9-Clubs} on the turn was checked through. Sonthemier then bet the {8-Diamonds} river for 78,000 with 500 behind.

After some consideration, Hunichen called and was shown the {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs} by Sontheimer, which he had beat with {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a set.

Sontheimer was all in for the one chip the next hand in the hijack and Byron Kaverman raised the button to 8,000, Mustapha Kanit called in the big blind. On the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, another 6,000 each went into the pot and the {10-Diamonds} turn was checked through. Kanit check-called 12,000 on the {6-Diamonds} river and mucked when Kaverman showed {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a flush with the nine.

"I have king nine, no idea if it's a diamond," Sontheimer shrugged and rolled over {K-Spades}{9-Hearts} before heading out of the tournament area.
