Ivo first lost a pot with _Ah _As vs _Tc _7h, when the board showed _9s _7s _Xc _7d, and was here down to 9.000.

Shortly after that he got all the chips in with _Ts _Th vs _Jd _Jh, and no help on the flop, turn or river and Ivo had to leave his chair. He will stay to maybe play a few side events, more about that later!

Ramzi Jelassi, 40.000
Toni Ojala, 19.000 (Just took a short player with 3.200 out with _Ac _Kc vs _Jd _Jh. _Ah on flop.)
Stephan Kjerstad, 36.000
Sylvain Lanternier, 22.000

As I told you before Ivo Donev is on the same table as the former world champion Greg Raymer. On the board _3h _Js _Ah _6h _Xc. Ivo called a bet on the river of 6.000 while saying “I can beat Ace-King, but I only have two pair”, Raymer turned over _Qh _Th for a flush.

Ivo is down to 16.000

Toni Ojala has been feeling better during the day, but something that just made him feel worse was the following.

Middle position player opens to 550, a French player calls, and Toni finds _As _Ah and raises to 2.200. The first player calls, other one folds.

Flop _Qs _8h _4c. The original better bets out 3.600, and Toni puts him on top pair, and he has noticed that this player doesn’t fold with top pair so he re-raises him all-in which is about 11.000 more, opponent calls.

Opponent shows _Ks _Qh. Toni was right!

Turn _Qd

No ace on the river and Toni loses a huge pot and goes from 40.000 to 17.000.

Sylvain Lanternier, 31.000
Ramzi Jelassi, 37.000
Stephan Kjerstad 38.000
Ivo Donev, 32.000
Toni Ojala, 17.000
