Seat Open for Gradinaru
Nível 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Sebastian Veghinas raised to 2,200 and Joris Ruijs called on the button. Georghe Gradinaru moved all in and Veghinas asked for a count. Once it was determined to be 24,800, Veghinas reshoved and Ruijs folded.
Georghe Gradinaru: 
Sebastian Veghinas: 
The flop of 
changed nothing and the 
on the turn meant that all tens were dead for Gradinaru, as that would have given Veghinas the higher straight. A blank 
on the river let the kicker play and eliminated Gradinaru.

Third Time is Not the Charm for Thiry
Nível 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Good cards are a blessing, but not connecting with the board can make them quite a burden, as Luxembourg's Christian Thiry just experienced.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau opened to 2,500 preflop and Adrian Mateos called on the button, before Thiry shipped his remaining 18,200 from the small blind. Vaskaboinikau came over the top all-in, and Mateos quickly folded his hand.
Thiry was trailing with 
against Vaskaboinikau's kings, and despite a queen on the flop it wasn't enough to win Thiry the pot.
"That's the third hand in a row I've gotten that hand", Thiry proclaimed before leaving the table and heading out of the playing area.

"Wait Here"
Nível 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Martin Finger has just been eliminated from the High Roller by Gaetano Brignone's aces. Luckily for him, the option of a single reentry is open until tomorrow, and with Finger's last words to his tablemates being "Wait here, I'll be back", we'd say the odds of him reentering are fairly good.

Chidwick Runs with Kings into Aces
Nível 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Roman Korenev raised to 2,300 from early position and Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 8,000 out of the small blind, which Korenev called. On the flop, Chidwick bet 6,000 and Korenev moved all in. Chidwick called all in for around 40,000 and was at the wrong end of a cooler.
Stephen Chidwick: 
Roman Korenev:
The turn and 
river changed nothing anymore and Chidwick left the tournament area, he may very well be back soon for the second bullet though.

Chidwick Is a Non-Believer
Nível 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Stephen Chidwick raised to 2,000 from first position and got two callers; Sergey Sergeev in the hijack and Ilkin Amirov in the big blind.
Flop came down 
and the action was checked around. On the 
turn Amirov took initiative and led out for 2,700 that only Chidwick called.
River double-paired the board and yet again Amirov bet. The 7,200 ultimately wasn't enough to get Chidwick to fold, and Amirov turned over 
with a little shake of his head. King high was no good against Chidwick's 
, and the Englishman scooped the pot.
