Christoph Vogelsang:

Vogelsang was drawing to just two aces against the flopped full house of Ponakovs and the then bricked off on the river to leave Vogelsang short and to earn Ponakovs the first double of the day. Vogelsang wasn't able to spin it up and was seen leaving the tournament area a few hands later.
