Frederic Van Der Mersch raised to 800 preflop from the cutoff and David Roberts three-bet to 2,350 from the blinds, Van Der Mersch called to see a :::5s:::4d:::2s flop. Surprisingly, Roberts checked and Van Der Mersch bet 5,000 but Roberts check-raised all in and Van Der Mersch made what looked to be a very much a crying call.

Van Der Mersch: :::Td:::Tc
Roberts: :::7h:::6h

Roberts needed a three or eight but the :::Kc turn and :::Qd river changed nothing, he was eliminated and the Belgian moved up to the 49,000 mark.
