Claus Brought to His Nies
Level 8
: 400/800, 75 ante
We joined a preflop raising war between Claus Nielsen and Thorsten Schafer to find 11,800 in front of Nielsen and 39,400 in front of Schafer - enough to set Nielsen in. Eventually he called, and there was some giggling between them as Schafer cried, "See? I only have queens!" It was good-natured, but the smile did fade a little from Nielsen's face as he realised the seriousness of his situation.

Nielsen couldn't find a knave to save his tournament life, and headed for the door. Schafer meanwhile is up to 105,000 - twice the average right now.
