Southern Europe struggles
In what is turning out to be a bad session for the players of European origin, George Economakis joined the growing number of Greek players that will be available to enter the second chance event. He is out in 86th place.
Walter Marques (Portuguese) flopped a set of tens on an 8 10 J board. Having just doubled up at the expense of Brad Bernstein he had a healthy stack. The all-in came with John Chapman holding A J. A watching player predicted running straight cards and when the King turned Walter’s heart sank. The Queen on the river left him visibly shaken and out of the tournament in 85th position. Unlucky Walter.
Aston Soon Shiong is also out to Ryan Brauer. All the chips went in pre-flop with Brauer dominating with his suited A K over Shiong’s A 10. The hand locked on the flop when Brauer flopped the flush. Aston out in 84th place.
