Chip Counts
Belgian player Kenny Hallaert just busted the Main Event. "A tournament to quickly forget about" he said with a wry smile. He had flopped an open-ended straight draw but failed to improve against his opponent's top pair and top kicker. Hallaert was already down to his last 8,000 before the hand. He can now focus on other things than the Main Event.
One table down sits Prague serial casher and last year's third-place finisher, David Boyaciyan. He's had a stack of between 14,000 and 20,000 for some levels now and currently sits at 20,000. "A rather boring table" he commented as we only recognized Shannon Shorr besides Boyaciyan at the table.
In the same row of tables we wrote down chip counts for Busquet, Selbst and Wigg, who are all up since our last count.
