"About 7,000," came the reply.
Andrulis fired out 10,000 to set his opponent all-in and Heather tanked for about two minutes before calling off his remaining chips.

Alexis Zervos has a PokerStars WCOOP bracelet to his name and is looking to add an EPT title here in Austria.

The action folded to Körner in the hijack seat and he put in a raise to 250. The cutoff folded but Zervos, on the button, three-bet to 1,500.

The action at Table 5 continues to be significantly more interesting than at neighbouring tables, as Max Heinzelmann is now the proud possessor of over 40,000 in chips after a full double up.
We just caught the end of the hand, which saw Heinzelmann shove his last 11,100 into a roughly 20,000 pot.

Eventually he called and a second later he mucked; Heinzelmann revealed for a turned straight that had improved to a slightly higher straight on the river, and Krilovs couldn't beat it.
