But Severin Walser from Switzerland, Hungarian Szabolcs Attila Saskoy, Irishman George McKeever, and Symeon Pyrakis from Greece were not alone as players continued to drop like flies during the very early stages.

Johnny Lodden was all in just once when he got involved in a pretty big pot with Robin Keston. On a flop of J104, the two checked to each other. The turn came the 3 and Lodden checked again. Keston bet 100,000 and Lodden check raised all-in for a further 24,000, Keston called. Keston revealed A3 for the flush draw and second pair and Lodden showed A-10 for a pair of tens. The river was the 7 and Lodden took a huge leap forward. He later took another large pot down when he knocked out Simeon Tsonev.
