Nivel 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Victor Ilyukhin has just busted from the feature table after losing a classic race against Lauri Pesonen at the feature table. The former shoved for 54,500 from the button with 
and Pesonen called from the small blind with 
. That amounted to about two-thirds of Pesonen's stack.
In the commentary booth Joe Stapleton and Vicky Coren struck a €10 wager, with Stapleton taking the eights to win the race. The 
board kept Pesonen in front and eliminated Ilyukhin. "That'll buy me half a drink at the hotel bar," quipped Stapleton.
