The tourney started with only 79 players so I guess only the FT pays out.

"You're Going to Need a Tandem Bike!" William Thorson and David Eldar Bust Out (6th and 5th)

The sickest hand of the High Rollers tournament just eliminated two players and made the crowd gasp as one at the cruel twists of the game they love.

Short stack William Thorson could have picked a better spot to move all in preflop, as not only Randy Dorfman went all in with him, but then so did David Eldar! Threeway on-their-backs moment:

Thorson: [7d][8d]
Dorfman: [7s][7h]
Eldar: [Qd][Qc]

The flop: [Ks][Qs][Jc] Another set for another pair of queens for David Eldar. It was starting to look like pay-ja vu when this happened:

Turn...[As]...River...[5s] ! A fourflush on the river busted both shorter stacks and made a new giant stack which is sitting in front of Randy Dorfman.

"You're going to need a double bike!" says Tony G.

William Thorson finishes in 6th place, winning €99,000.
David Eldar finishes in 5th place, winning €138,000

[Ciso_B]

sick sick sicko.

ul . Tough hand to bust the final table on

[HalfSugar]

What a horrible time for some shit like that to happen. Bad beats even out but to take one in THAT spot is just plain wrong.

Comedy update from PokerNews:

Dorfman flipped [Kd][Jc] ("Ralph Perry!" said Tony G, "Never wins.")

If anyone doesn't know what that is about, check this out. I love Tony G

the only thing that is "ugly and disgraceful" is tony G's table manners.
