Upon the elimination of Zsolt Vasvenszki in fourth place, Van Marcus called to the waiter to bring two shots of tequila for himself and Mathieu Clavet. It's time for celebration as they're down to the final three, cheers fellas!
After they took the first shot together, Marcus asked Clavet if he wanted to do another. Before Clavet had a chance to respond, the tournament director said, "No, no, no. Only one per level." Our guess is we're in no-fun zone.

turn card gave Vasvenszki a straight draw as well, but the river was another , sealing the hand for Krause.
Krause is up to about 2,650,000 while Vasvenszki is left with just about 400,000.
