EPT Baden: And the destruction begins

Sure enough, they've started to fall. We're now down to two tables of eight, meaning 16 players in total. Five have gone since the last update and there's a redraw underway.

They were:

17 - Alexander Kravchenko - Russia - €12,860
Ran into Pascal Perrault's aces.

18 - Hector Fuentes - Spain - €12,860
Lost with king-queen to Denes Kalo, whose jack-ten made two pair

19 - Victor Goossens - Holland - €12,860
Lost a chunk with queens against Vladimir Poleshchuk's aces. Then lost rest with ace-seven against Thierry van den Berg's K-J. Van den Berg rivered a flush.

20 - Alan Smurfit - Ireland - €12,860
Kings couldn't hold up against Julian Thew's ace-jack; ace on the flop.

21 - Kalil Rahal - France - €12,860
Queens against kings, all in pre-flop.
