Dealing started on the 21st blind level (1,000-5,000/10,000). The first to go was Tamara Tibbles, who went all-in from cutoff with A-4. The American lady only had 135,000 by that time, Mickey petersen went reraise all-in, everyone else folded. Tibbles had a flush draw on the flop, but she couldn't improve against Petersen's A-K, higher kicker.
45 minutes later the field became even thinner, they were only 12. The next to be eliminated came to be the Hungarian pro Peter Turmezey. He went all-in from the button with 185,000, Scott Clements called from the SB.
