Sergei Oganesjan Doubles

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Sergei Oganesjan with 15 big blinds jammed all-in with {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Christoph Rueegg called and Jens Riis wishing his drinking buddy, "Good Luck!"

Rueegg stood up and said, "I don't need any luck, I just need my hand to hold and turned over {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}. The board ran out {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, which gave Oganesjan a straight to double up his stack to 64,000 and delivered a disappointed Rueegg a bad beat.

Jens Riis & Christoph Rueegg Stayed Late and Back Drinking

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Jens Riis celebrated his birthday yesterday and was here with Christph Rueegg until the early hours of the morning drinking and playing ring games.

Riis tried to convince Kirill Zemskov to have a shot with him, stating that, "You won't make the final table if you don't do a shot!"

While Riis was unconvincing to Zemskov, he found another taker as Rueegg agreed to take a shot with him saying he just needed water first to help recover from last night.

Riis meanwhile is playing very active early on and his stack is down to about 33,000 chips. He was also just all in with {K-}{Q-} against another player holding the same hand. Just afterwards, he shared, "I don't know what hand I can really fold."

Where is Enri Orav?

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Everyone has now made it to their seats except Cash Game Festival co-founder Enri Orav. Orav began the day with 150,700 and his stack is being blinded off until he makes it to his seat.

Additionally, just after Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk hit the showers on the first hand, Martin M?nnamaa, holding the second shortest stack to start the day, became the second player to be eliminated today.

Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk Eliminated

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk came into today's action as the shortest stack with 17,000 chips or 8.5 big blinds. On the very first hand of the day, von Zweigbergk was eliminated after his {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} was unable to outrace Rauno Tahvonen's {K-}{J-} when a king spiked the flop.

As usual, von Zweigbergk was all smiles and shared with the crowd there was nothing he could do. He was uncertain whether he will play in the $5,000 Bounty Freeroll set to begin in less than one hour.
