"I am glad you missed the one where I got owned," Marc MadDonnell said upon leaving his table. The Irishman, who recently finished 13th in the EPT12 Prague Main Event, lost his last 1,500 chips in coin flip fashion. It was the 
for MacDonnell against the 
of his opponent and the board ran out 
to bust the Irishman.

2005 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Joe Hachem registered late and had just taken his seat when he wound up in a big hand for all his chips.
Australia's best known player turned a straight and got all his chips in on the river despite the board pairing.
His obviously lesser known opponent made somewhat of a crying call having rivered a boat and before PokerNews could tell readers that Hachem was in, he's out and now eyeing tomorrow's $2,500 H.O.R.S.E.

The hopes of a short stack to score a double up with 
were already doomed by the turn of a board 
. Raj Ramakrishnan had his opponent drawing dead with the 
and the final community card was already meaningless. Another bigger stack early on belongs to the player one seat over and that is Jim Andreadis.

The table of Scott Davies broke and the American was sent to the table of Xuan Liu while only one table remained in the secondary tournament area. Over there, Gernot Abl just three-bet shoved for 4,550 and the initial raiser reluctantly called with 
. Abl held the 
and made the nut flush on the board 
to double up just below starting stack.
One player at the table added a "back in the game" and that fits nicely for the title of the update, too.

The second half of level five has just gotten underway and the last table in the secondary tournament area just broke. With less than 100 players remaining, the registration for the first flight remains open for another hour and will close as soon as level seven gets started.
Gerald Karlic had increased his stack to more than 20,000 but the aggressive playing style of the Austrian just backfired in a big pot. Tony Mai had raised from under the gun and Karlic three-bet to 2,100. Mai responded with a squeeze to 5,750 and Karlic then pushed forward his entire stack.
"All in?" Mai confirmed with the dealer and then immediately called to roll over 
. Karlic only held the and already picked up his belongings when the flop came 
. The 
on the turn was a brick as well, but gave some chop outs. It was all over after the 
river to send Mai into a big lead.

Peter Aristidou raised to 750 from the button and his sole remaining opponent in the big blind squeezed to 2,700. The quite expensive three-bet found no call from Aristidou and the very next hand, Tony Dunst received a walk in the big blind. The American turned over his 
and Aristidou grinned and said "the nuts."

Kahle Burns came back from the break with a healthy stack, but that has since vanished and the seat is occupied by another player. Xuan Liu confirmed the elimination but the details remain unknown. Burns is very likely one of the candidates that take advantage of the reentry option for the next flight(s), though.
