Zoltan to the rail

Zoltan Kapitany was a victim of the final hand just before our final break of the evening, bowing out two hours before Day 2 thanks to a button vs blinds cooler.

The Hungarian had defended his big blind and holding Q♦9♠, his eyes lit up at the 9♦Q♥J♣ board. Check-raising the button's continuation bet to 5,000, he pot committed himself and made it an easy call when his rival shoved.

The result was not as he might have hoped, however, as the button flashed J♦J♠ for a set - and the case Jack duly made his four-of-a-kind on the river.

As the players head for a short interlude, we checked up on Johnny Jensen and found him boasting 60,000 chips despite losing a coin flip with 10s vs AK for a 15,000 pot.

Elsewhere, Robert Haigh battles on with 23,000, Nat Jarmonthavat has 25 big blinds on around 12,500 and Susanne Jensen is working with 27,000.

Toni Englund - who narrowly missed the final table in Vienna earlier in 2012 - has also been found and has a 29,000 stack, just a few chips ahead of the average.
