J.
The board falls: A1028Qx
Saxin hits his straight and Feldman is the unfortunate bubble boy. He leaves Roberto Romanello as one of the very few Brits left in the event with a standing chance. Laurence Houghton busted earlier after struggling with a short stack for most of the day.

Feb 19, '09
Brit Andrew Feldman bets 6,800 and Christian Saxin shoves. Feldman calls and flips over AQ. Saxin shows A
J.
The board brings Feldman's worth nightmare: J3349 Saxin's jacks take the pot and Feldman struggles in shock to even count out the chips he owes Saxin. He passes 68,200 of his chips over to the Swede and sits sickeningly pale.

Busts Before the Break
Feb 19, '09
Before the break Ramzi Jelassi was moved to the table which holds a massively stacked Tore Lagerborg and Dutch pro Johan van Til. It should make for some interesting hands after dinner.
There was also some action just before the field broke up. Andrew Feldman raised 4,000, Oscar Lapua shoved for 45,000, and Feldman went into the tank for a good while. Eventually he came out the other side and folded. He felt he was ahead of Lapua but after folding, Dane Martin Wendt snap called and revealed pocket kings. Lapua had J-10, which Feldman was indeed ahead of as he had A-J.
The hand knocked Lapua out.
In the very next hand, Andrew Feltman got back in the game and doubled up.
