zedmaster84

Niveau 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jesse Lonis has continued his sprints between the two nearby events and aimed to knock out a short-stacked Erick Lindgren. The K♥5♥ of Lonis were up against 8♠8♥ and Lindgren survived on a 10♦9♣8♣A♣4♥ runout.

Lindgren's fortune was short-lived as he busted soon after, and Lonis received a penalty as he was folding out of turn. The stack of Lonis has taken a major toll, too, as he is down to fewer than 13 blinds.

Niveau 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The dealer announced a double elimination as Jeffrey Cormier and Glenn Becker were both ousted. Becker then walked over to the table of Erick Lindgren, who had called the all-in of Tomasz Gluszko for 80,000 that very moment while on the button.
