Niveau 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Dutch legend Marcel Luske was in the big blind and was too busy making conversation with his tablemates to notice a raise to 80,000 from Aaron Overton in middle position.

"What is this!" he exclaimed. "Is this what you've been doing all event? Waiting for people to be talking and then doing this?"

Overton smiled back.

"See I like that smile," said Luske. "So I will play one of only four hands with you."

"What?" asked Overton.

Luske hadn't looked at his cards yet. "I will play only four hands with you," said Luske. "Aces, aces, aces ... and sometimes I might play kings as well." Luske looked at his cards. "See," he said, showing off-suit. "We don't want to play this rubbish."

"Well," said a tablemate. "He is a man of his word!"

Rheem Railed; Chung Crushed

MrCleverFox

Niveau 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Chino Rheem doubled early, but lost a few pots in between and was down to just a few hundred thousand in chips.

In his final hand, Joe Hanrahan opened with a raise to 45,000. Vincent Chung moved all in over the top for roughly 680,000. Rheem then called all in with a shorter stack than Chung's. Hanrahan thought for a bit, then called both all-ins and the hands were tabled.

Hanrahan:
Rheem:
Chung:

"Come on, baby!" Rheem cheered, standing up on his chair.

"Down, Chino!" one of the floormen yelled.

The board rolled out and that kept Hanrahan in the lead the whole way, allowing him to eliminate both Rheem and Chung from the tournament, while he moved past 2 million chips.

Hussein Busts Zekster in Fortunate Fashion

zedmaster84

Niveau 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Dilovan Hussein was left short after an eventful first hour of Day 5 and pushed from under the gun for 315,000. Igor Zektser in the cutoff also moved all in and the big blind was in the think tank. "I hope you have a big hand," Zekster said, and Andrew Ostapchenko peeked at his cards with an "ohhh." Ostapchenko folded however, and the cards were tabled.

Zekster:
Hussein:

Hussein quickly stood up and put on his jacket, and the flop gave Zekster top set. However, Hussein had some outs with a gutshot and immediately got there. The turn completed the straight and the river was a blank. Zekster sat there, stunned, and could only say, "You can't be serious."

His stack was counted and Zekster also had 315,000, making him the next casualty of the day.
