Okon Smiling Through the Pain

We're down to 126 already, and getting as far as a final table tonight is beginning to look as though it's not actually beyond the realms of possibility.

Latest to hit the rail is Artur Okon. He and his table neighbour Krzysztof Dembek were both dangerously short at the start of the hand, and Okon was unlucky enough to run his reasonable K-J in the big blind into Dembek's unexpected small blind aces. Dembek doubled to 18,000 - still below his starting stack - and Okon was left with just 600. They shook hands and Okon was laughing about it, but he was virtually all in on the small blind next hand, and duly busted out.
