Nasr Asks For More Space...

A lucky catch for the man with such a good name, they called him it twice, [Removed:197], he was all in with {K-Hearts} {6-Hearts} against Dan Pedersen's {A-?} {Q-?} and caught the {K-Spades} on the turn after Pedersen hit a {Q-Diamonds} on the flop for a double up to 276,000.

Massimo Double

Massimo Di Cicco has won a big double up from Daniel Drescher. {J-Spades} {J-Clubs} vs {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} all-in preflop. No help for either and the Italian and his fans went mad as he won a 300,000 pot.

Chen's Swings

Andrew Alan Chen has had a topsy-turvy day. First he lost with {Q-?}{9-?} to Domenico Iannone's {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} on a {6-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {5-Spades} {3-Hearts} after all the money went in on the flop.

Then he was all in shortly afterwards winning with {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} against Rifat Palevic's {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} spiking a 'Barry Greenstein special' with an ace on the river.

Less than three hands later, and he was in again with {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} against Nikolaos Panopoulos' {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}, again winning the flip on the river with {4-Clubs} {4-Spades} {3-Spades} {7-Spades} {K-Hearts} board.

Double-Up And A Break

Just before the break, Jens Hansen was all in with {K-Spades} {8-Spades} against Rifat Palevic's {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} and looked to be down and out with the board running out{6-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}, but then the dealer put the {K-Clubs} on the river and somehow he survived to fight another day.

Players are now on a short break.
