Cupfighter Sander van Wesemael Eliminated

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Sander van Wesemael, who late registered the Main Event, wasn't able to hold onto his stack for long. The Dutchman found his demise at the hands of Wim Neys, by shoving {8-}{8-} into Neys' {10-}{10-}.

Van Wesemael's week is still a massive success, as he won the €330 PokerStars Cup for a whopping €127,000 last night, beating 2,648 players in the process. Although that's an impressive feat by itself, it becomes near improbable when you consider Van Wesemael also won the €330 PokerStars Cup in Lille (€28,704 - 558 runners) and the €330 Marbella Poker Cup (€36,450 - 788 runners).

With that, Van Wesemael has won the last three out of the four PokerStars Cups being hosted (he opted out of traveling to Bucharest), indubitably one of the most impressive poker feats of the year.
