The other elimination came when Zsolt Vasvenszki got his stack of about 40,000 all in preflop holding and was well out in front of Kyle Maguire's . The Hungarian was primed to double into the chip lead, but the flop delivered a fatal blow by pairing Maguire's ace. The turn actually left Vasvenszki drawing dead, and after the was run out on the river for good measure, he watched as the stacks were verified before exiting the tournament floor.

Stausholm:
Przysucha:

Alex Lindop had been nursing a short stack for a while, shoving all-in in the right spots to steal the blinds and antes. He was keeping alive but he knew his hopes were dwindling.
