Fedor Los is up to 25,000 after moving all in for around 10,000 on the river of a {3-Clubs} {J-Spades} {4-Spades} {9-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} board, with 15,000 already in the pot. Opponent Ramazanali Abbassi thought about it, but eventually passed.

Currently planning to go sledding instead.

Liv Boeree was spotted chatting to Mark Vos and Mike Pesek at the rail; the Pokernews bloggers used their famed powers of deduction and came to the conclusion that she was out.

"I blew up," she announced, before making a complete u-turn: "Actually, I just couldn't hit a thing. Lost a lot of small pots, and they add up to, er, a really big pot."

Mudde Gets His Hands Dirty; Busts

[user46392]
[user46392]
Luke O'Kelly made it 1,700 from the hijack, and Simon Kullenberg called in the cutoff. In the small blind, Joas Mudde moved in for a total of 3,600. A call, and a call.

Kullenberg and O'Kelly checked down the {Q-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {6-Spades} board, and they were on their backs.

Mudde: {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}
Kullenberg: {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}
O'Kelly: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades} {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts}

Mudde hit the ground, and O'Kelly took the pot down. "Please don't report that hand," he requested in vain.

Dresl New Chip Leader

"Hmm, how interesting, I seem to be the chip leader."
"Hmm, how interesting, I seem to be the chip leader."
An enormous three-way all in confrontation saw two players eliminated and a new chip leader created.

Klaus Dresl, our glorious new chip leader, was holding aces, but as it turned out it was the raggier elements in his hand that came through for him on the {4-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {7-Hearts} board -- his {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {5-Clubs} made him a full house on the flop, and neither Gavin Laverty nor Vladislav Bakalov could beat it; they are both out, and Dresl has around 35,000 in chips.
