Wahlbeck Eliminated....From The Six-Handed Event

During the break as we stretched our legs and took a little walk around the Amazon Room we suddenly noticed a man closely resembling Ville Wahlbeck playing in the $5,000 Six-Handed Event. On closer inspection it was indeed Wahlbeck, as incredibly he was multi-tabling during the break of this $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event.

After a moment or two of relection of what we could buy for $5,000, we noticed Wahlbeck all in and his last chips taken from him in rapid-fire bustout from that event.

Hopefully for Wahlbeck, he doesn't bring that form back over to this final table!
