Down to little more than scraps, Michail Tsamis moved all in early during an Omaha/8 hand, finding action from both Mark Vos and Yuval Bronshtein.
The hand was being checked initially, but Yuval soon announced that he could check no longer and pushed Vos out of the hand.
After the dust had settled and the smoke had cleared, Michail Tsamis was sent packing, enabling Yuval to make it into that elusive 100K club.

STUD/8 -- Chris "Jesus" Ferguson is a man of many talents. He's a professional ballroom dancer. He can slice carrots, pickles, and bananas by tossing playing cards at lightning-quick speeds. He's also been rumored to walk on water and turn water into wine. He just took down a pot against chip leader Gary Jones to move above the average stack. Both players were showing...
Jones: (x-x)
Jesus: (x-x)
Jesus bet seventh street and Jones called. Jesus flipped over for a Broadway straight while Jones mucked his hand.

Rafi Amit, 21st-place finisher
Stud/8 the game -- Kirk Morrison his assassin, calling Rafi Amit's initial 2K bet with his showing, while Rafi had the . Morrison bet fourth street, flat called by Amit, but the all-in was reached in two raises on sixth street, with their cards laid out like so:
Rafi Amit: (X-X)
Kirk Morrison: (X-X)
The final card was dealt down (such is the practise even during an all-in situation -- prolonging the agony for the shorty or increasing the drama for the audience, who can say?) and Kirk Morrison revealed his hole cards as (). "Oh, you have something good," remarked Amit, showing the () before standing and taking his leave of the final three tables.

Nikolaus Jedlicka
Nikolaus Jedlicka is no longer with us. He's one of the several post-dinner casualties. Just a few days ago, Nikolaus Jedlicka made a final table at the EPT Barcelona finishing in seventh place and winning €154,700.

I prefer quality over quantity, but Mark Vos is obliged to suffer with the opposite, his mount looking like Billy Big Stack, but a second glance revealing that he's dropped down to around the 35K mark -- with the majority of his stack made up of low-denomination grey 100 chips.
One of the reasons for this sudden drop is a recent Razz clash with David Levi, the elder player check-calling Vos down before forcing the Aussie/South African to muck his inferior hand on the end.
On a side note, Vos is looking quite serious today. He's normally very vocal and as energetic as a kangaroo on a hotplate, but he's all business at the moment, perhaps determined to recover that nice meaty stack he once had.

I like to chew trees
Joe seems eager to do well in this tournament, and he's doing incredibly well considering he only played his first-ever HORSE competition a few days ago. He came third out of 25 that time, but is playing for slightly more money here.
He's on the right track though, having just won a nice pot of Razz from Michail Tsamis. There were three players involved in this hand, the other being Eric Dalby, but the veteran bailed out in the later stages leaving Tsamis to call a Joe Beevers (4K to 8K) reraise, and then mucking his cards as Joe shows ten-high to take down a nice chunky pot.

Tom Nightingale - Doesn't hate Razz like some of the others
British player Tom Nightingale won every hand of Razz I was watching just now, and with the ante at 500, the bring in 500 and the betting rounds at 2K and 4K, that's added a nice extra turret to his chip tower. Betting Jan Sorensen off one hand on fifth street, and Jimmy Fricke off another on fourth, he also got involved in the biggest pot of the round (which isn't saying too much -- they are being pretty cagey at the moment).
Nightingale made it 2K to go straight away with the showing, and Gobboboy called showing the . Barney Boatman raised, with the showing, and both of them called. They checked round fourth street and were showing:
Nightingale: (X-X)
Fricke: (X-X)
Boatman: (X-X)
Tom Nightingale bet out 4K, and both players passed, Barney considerably more reluctantly.
