We established after the event through the medium of eavesdropping that Dara O'Kearney had raised from the button and then called a reraise from Daniel Pidun in the big blind to see a flop when all the chips went in. This was the point at which we arrived tableside, so we witnessed the rest for ourselves.
O'Kearney: for an open-ended straight draw
Pidun: a now rather speculative
-A pause of some minutes while the TV crew did their thing.-
Turn:
River:
O'Kearney's straight never came in and Pidun's ace kicker with the two pair on the board was good. He doubled to around 450,000, while O'Kearney was crippled to just 25,000 or so. The table was immediately broken, and Pidun thanked the dealer in Hebrew - who told him, "No problem," also in Hebrew. Most surprising.
Tristan Clemencon has been knocked out, pushing his last 85,000 in preflop with UTG. Maksim Kolosov snap-called in the big blind with and the board ran out .
Martin Genath has been eliminated by Maksim Kolosov. To be fair, almost a quarter of his stack was in the pot preflop as the 8,000 big blind, and he shrug-moved in when Kolosov had opened for 18k. On their backs!

Genath:
"My favourite hand!" encouraged Kolosov. He probably wanted to stick with his A-Q, though, especially as the board came a massive .
Thorsten Schafer opened preflop to 18,000 and Per Linde flat-called behind him before it was passed around Kristijonas Andrulis in the blinds, the Lithuanian making it 57,500 to go.
Schafer quickly folded but Linde took more time, before deciding, "I'm all-in."
"I call," said Andrulis turning over .
"I'll have the nuts eventually..." joked Linde showing
But the board couldn't help Linde, it came and Andrulis added the Swede's stack to his own. He's over the million mark.
Online qualifier Philipp Uhrig got his mere 65,000 stack in with and stayed ahead of Mario Adinolfi's all the way up to the river of the board when Adinolfi made a straight.
Ruslan Prydryk's tournament life has come to an end, pushing all-in with over the top of Aurelien Guiglini's preflop raise but the Frenchman made the call with and held on a board to increase his own stack to 325,000.
Online qualifier Igor Ivashkiv got his last in with . "You have aces?" someone asked caller Alessandro Laubinger.
"Of course!" he said and turned over .
Not looking good for Ivashkiv. But check it out:
Board:
Ivashkiv banged the table in delight as he made a four-flush to double up to 470,000. Former chip millionaire Laubinger is down to a still hefty 850,000.
Jeffrey Hakim's microstack has now become a mere short short stack after Andreas Lutz got his even shorter stack in with for a flush draw on a flop. Hakim's for top pair held on the turn and river, and he's at 200,000.
