You remember the post we wrote about Max Silver losing all of his chips with aces to king-jack? Well, the gentleman with the king-jack in that hand just made another victim.
German pro Manig Loeser, who finished third in a big WSOP event this year and runner up in one the year before, has been eliminated by the same player. Loeser had aces but lost to kings.
A little consolation for Loeser is that he won't have to read any more incredibly unfunny puns with his name this week.
Eoghan O'Dea errr Rory Brown seems to be having a very decent day thus far, as the Irish is up to more than three-times the starting stack. Fahredin Mustafov's seat was empty and M;icah Raskin doubled up with pocket kings versus pocket queens.
The UKs Alex Goulder has had his best ever year at the poker table in 2014, helped in no small part by his biggest ever live cash in Prague just a week ago. He chatted to the PokerStars Blog about his annus mirabilis.

Peter Barrable bet 2,100 on the turn of a board reading and got a call from Albert Daher.

“You win. Jack high.” Barrable told him and Daher twirled his to show the winning hand.
We arrived at the table with the board spread out .
Steve O’Dwyer bet out 4,400 from the big blind and watched as Dobromir Nikov thought over his decision. Not long after and Nikov moved all in for 17,775 in chips as the action fell back on O’Dwyer.
