We saw some commotion over at the feature table and made our way over just in time to see Germany's Philipp "Philbort" Gruissem get his stack in holding the on a flop. He was up against none other than David "Doc" Sands, who had flopped a set with the .

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Gruissem's gutshot straight flush draw gave him a 34.75% chance of surviving the hand while Sands was a 65.25% favorite.

Gruissem didn't seemed too worried, that is until the dealer burned and turned the . The paired board gave Sands a full house and meant that Gruissem needed to hit his straight flush to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, there was only a 2.27% chance of that happening. The dealer burned one last time and put out the . Gruissem, who is known as one of the most successful high rollers in the game, wished the remaining players well and then slowly strolled out of the tournament area.

Meanwhile, Kathy Lehne, the founder, President and CEO of SunCoast Resources we told you about earlier and one of only two women in the field, appears to have been eliminated from the tournament.

Nível 6 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We saw Jean-Robert Bellande three bet to 13,000 from the button. Apparently Phil Galfond had opened under-the-gun and now that the action was back on him, he shoved for 55,600. "If it's anything less than seventy, I'll have to call" It was in fact less than 70,000 and thus Bellande called.

Galfond showed his while Bellande tabled . Bellande would turn a gutshot but none of the four jacks or three aces hit on the river: | | . Bellande lost a couple of chips but still has well over average. Bellande made a Phil Hellmuth impersonation and stood up while ranting; "Stone cold cooler. This is bullshit!"
