The third and fourth levels were hardly one to remember for Team Paradise as the WSOP casualties mounted up.
Perhaps the highest profile victim was ParadisePoker Tour League leader Robert Haigh, as the tournament pro fell victim to a bizarre hand holding KK.
In a raised pot, the villain had check-called a 9♠-8♥-2♥ flop with 10♠4♠ but picked up straight and flush draws when the 7♠ fell on the turn.
Haigh gave careful thought to shoving his remaining 3500 over the top of the turn bet, but his opponent's call was followed by a river ♠ to deny him a deep run.
Also out is Ingo Meyer, despite a strong start, after his QQ ran into a slow-played KK, as well as compatriot Bastian Bluem. Bluem had found his two pair wanting against TWO flopped sets.
The lengthy list of eliminated Team Paradise players also extends to PPT London champion Christos Xanthopoulos, Jens Weigel and Polish duo Bartlomiej Swieboda and Maciej Lipny.
There was some positive news, though, as Pham Kim-Phuc continued his rise to big stack status with a series of huge hands.
