We are not sure what happened to Stanislav Barshak. One minute he was sitting just below 200,000 and the next thing we know his player i.d. card is being slid across the media table of doom.
The chip leader Marco Lang is sat at his table so we asked him what happened. It was Lang who eliminated Barshak, but he was short at the time. and he couldn’t remember what else had happened.
The death knoll was pocket threes for Barshak and pocket queens for Lang. It was a three way all-in with a third player holding ace-queen. Lang now has 540,000 chips.
