Karim 'LAFORCE' Lehoussine busts out

Karim was unfortunately eliminated with two pair. The player across the table raised him 5000 (basically for all his chips) on the river. After thinking long and hard, Karim decided his 2 pair would cut it, but it wasn`t enough against the opponent`s straight.

Karim:
Q10

Player:
J10

Flop
K 7 Q

Turn
10

River
A

Karim and his opponent shook hands and Karim left with a smile on his face:
Thats poker baby!

...and the advice pays off!

Carlos 'charlii1' Miranda has just doubled up through a local player, when his raise was reraised, he moved all in.

Carlos`s AK was against AQ and nothing came to the board, so Carlos is up to 23 000 with 75 minutes remaining on the clock from Day1.

The "Be patient!" advice of Karim in the break has finally paid off!

Everest Players are still upbeat despite being card dead

Karim is still playing very catiously he is around 11K in chips. He is encouraging his fellow French mate during the break, Carlos, who is complaining about the cards. Carlos is down to 10 000.

Karim is motivating Carlos: "Listen, you can grow really quickly in two hands to 40K. Be patient!"

Thats the spirit Karim! Come on guys!!

Pocket Aces are not always winning

Carlos 'charlii1' Miranda lost with pocket aces when the player next to him held 44.

The race unfolded with 10K in the pot with 4 X X on the flop.

Charlii1 lost to a set of 4s as a result he is down to cca 15 000 in chips.
