Luis Rufas seems to be taking over the feature table for the time being.
He has raised for three consecutive hands. This time his 120,000 raise was called by Konstantin Puchkov in the blinds. The flop of combined with a 130,000 continuation bet was enough to put Puchkov off an win Rufas another pot.
Georgios Skotadis is not getting any respect with his three-bets on the feature table. Just before the break Skotadis three-bet Kent Lundmark and folded to his four-bet shove and it had just happened again.
Luis Rufas opened the action to an undetermined amount and Skotadis made the call. The flop was and Skotadis checked to Rufas who bet 170,000. Skotadis then check-raised to 400,000 and Rufas shoved all-in. Skotadis folded.
The plan for the rest of the day is for the final ten players to be seated at two five-handed tables but when the next player is eliminated, they will all be moved to a nine-handed unofficial final table.
Play will then be paused for the day as soon as the final table of eight is reached. Just so you know!
Francisco Notaro raised to 200,000 - that's five big blinds - in the cutoff, only to face a reraise to 519,000 from Ognjen Sekularac in the small blind. Notaro flat-called.
Flop:
Sekularac announced all in, and Notaro announced call. Simple as that. It took a while to assess their relative stacks, but eventually it was found that Notaro was the player at risk, Sekularac covering him by a mere 5,000.

River:
It was a huge double up for Notaro - to around 2.7 million. Sekularac meanwhile was left with just 5,000. "I'm not done yet," he told the table.
But 4,000 of his 5,000 went in as the ante next hand. He tossed in his remaining 1,000 blind and out of turn from the button. Notaro raised to 200,000 and everyone else got out of the way, and once again they were on their backs.
Sekularac:

Thus on the last hand of the level, we were down to 10.
