The four must go on

With the loss of Lukasz Gebica, it was worth finding out how the other four contenders were getting on:

Robert Haigh's stack had slid down to 22,000.

Tibor Boros was going steady with an average stack of 30,000.

Bastian Bluem was down in Gebica land and struggling with 7,700.

Ronnie Espensen, meanwhile, had a great level as he saw he stack grow to 32,000 from 8,000. He explained how he moved all-in for 8,000 with six-seven suited from the small blind and was called by the big blind who held ace-nine. The Dane flopped seven to double-up. From there he won lots of small pots and eliminated one short stack.
