. Kaverman was way behind with 
and there he stayed through the board of 
.
Although eliminated, Kaverman has bought back in already for his second attempt, while Colman is now one of the biggest stacks in the room with 245,000 chips at the new blinds in Level 6 of 1,500/3,000/500.

The 
brought him halfway there, but the 
on the turn and 
on the river were blanks and Newey made his exit.
