Leon Tsoukernik was busted early today and apparently ran into Daniel Cates right after. Tsoukernik challenged Cates for a €100,000 heads up match playing €500/€1,000 in the cash game area. The two played for ten minutes time and Tsoukernik won, so his second bullet was on Cates.
Right before the last break Tsoukernik busted again, and he told PokerNews host Remko Rinkema that he was going to look for Cates to win another €100,000 to buy back in. If he found Cates and won another bullet, or reached into his own pockets this time we don't know, but we do know Tsoukernik is back in the game with a crispy €250,000 stack.
Be sure to look out for a video interview Rinkema just did with Tsoukernik, which will appear right here as soon as possible.
Cates in the mean time, hasn't shown his face in the tournament yet, though he still is in the building.
