"And It's Gone!"
Arpad Balazs has been eliminated from the tournament. The Hungarian player told us three hands where he went from a very playable stack to out in not too long a time.
In the first of the three hands, he called from the big blind with 
after the player under the gun had opened. Both players checked the 
flop, and Balazs bet the one-third the size of the pot on the 
-turn. His opponent called, and another 
hit the river. Balazs checked, and his opponent bet out 6,800. The Hungarian check raised to 26,800, and his opponent three bet to 48,000. Balazs called, but his opponent did have the dreaded 
for quads.
The second hand saw Balazs bluff some chips of in a three bet pot, and despite hitting a pair on the river, it wasn't good enough to win the hand.
In his last hand he squeezed all in from the small blind with suited after a cutoff open and button call. Unfortunately for Balazs, the big blind found pocket tens and re shoved. Balazs hit a nine, but it wouldn't save his tournament life:

"And It's Gone!" laughed Balazs who can now focus on the Barcelona night life again. Balazs, who claims to have some Dutch blood in his veins because of all his Dutch friends, can also try his luck again in one of the many side events still on the schedule.
