Jean Francois Talbot opened for 55,000 from the cutoff and got called by both Sami Kelopuro on the button and Claudiu Saizu in the small blind to see a flop. Saizu checked and Talbot very quickly bet 80,000. Kelopuro folded immediately, but Saizu now made it 225,000 to go.
Talbot looked as though he was really considering it, but in the end he passed.
Claudiu Saizu raised to 55,000 on the button and Emanuele Rugini shoved from the big blind for another 585,000. He sat there looking innocent while Saizu considered whether or not to call. He eventually decided not to, and Rugini took the pot without a showdown.
Moderate action up on the feature table as David Sesso raised and Nick Schulman shoved for 443,000. It went no further, though, as Sesso folded and gave Schulman the pot.
A few moments later and Laurent Olive raised to 70,000 only for Salvatore Bonavena to insta-shove from the button for 375,000. Olive folded, and again the rail was denied a showdown.
Sami Kelopuro has not been in any big showdown hands so far, but he has been quietly building his stack over the last hour.
He 3-bet the button to 186,000 against Jean Francois Talbot's cutoff raise of 75,000 to win one pot.
Soon after he fired turn and river of a for 93,000 and 213,000 respectively against Claudiu Saizu. The Romanian called the turn bet, but instantly folded when the Finn fired the river. Kelopuro is up to about 1.8 million
Martin Hruby open-shoved with and Salvatore Bonavena called with . A ten on the flop sealed the deal and the lone five couldn't save Hruby. The Czech Team PokerStars Pro took 22nd place and picked up €50,000 for his trouble.
Matt Perrins raised to 61,000 and Josef Klinger flat-called in the cutoff. Kevin Eyster reraised to 183,000 and Perrins passed but Klinger now announced all in. Eyster huffed and puffed a little but never looked too keen on the proposition, and after a while he folded.
