Having just hit that double up, Manilo Iemina made it 35,000 from late position and Thomas Kuntner reraised all-in for a little under 200,000. A quick call.
Iemina: 
Kuntner: 
The board came 
, no help for Kuntner - he's out in 19th place.
Hans Erlandsson rather mistimed a move when he checked-shoved the 
flop to an 80,000 bet from Manilo Iemina. Iemina snap-called all in for around 600,000 and it was a sweat-free double up for him.
Iemina: 
for top pair, top kicker
Erlandsson: 
for absolutely nothing
Turn: 
eliminating all possibility of runner-runner-anything for Erlandsson
River: an academic 
Iemina doubled up to around 1.25 million. Erlandsson was left with a paltry 40,000 and is in all likelihood not long for this tournament.
Vladimir Geshkenbein in the hijack and Philip Meulyzer on the button saw an 
flop. Geshkenbein bet out 45,000, and Meulyzer made the call.
The turn was the 
and Geshkenbein bet out again - this time a round 100,000. There was a short pause from Meulyzer, and then he called again.
The river was the 
and Geshkenbein now thought about it for a little while before betting out 238,000, leaving himself just 100,000 behind. Another short tank and then Meulyzer called again -and then promptly mucked to Geshkenbein's 
full house.
Geshkenbein is now flirting with the million mark again - his stack looked to be at around 960,000 after that. Meulyzer meanwhile is down to a still respectable 915,000.
Iulian Ruxandescu is no more as he just ran into the steam train that is Kevin Vandersmissen.
On a flop Ruxandescu bet 56,000, Vandersmissen min-raised to 122,000 and Ruxandescu then clicked it back too. Vandersmissen moved all in and was instantly called by his Romanian opponent.
Ruxandescu:
- For a gut shot straight draw and flush draw
Vandersmissen:
- For bottom set.
The dealer burned a card and put the 
on the turn, followed by the 
on the river and Vandersmissen's set held to boost him to 3,400,000 chips, almost 25% of the chips in play!
Vladimir Geshkenbein looks to be getting increasingly frustrated at the felt as his stack dwindles to 420,000.
On a board reading 
Geshkenbein first check then called a 105,000 bet from Andreas Wiese . The dealer put the 
out on the river and again Geshkenbein checked but this time he folded when Wiese put 260,000 worth of chips into play.
As Geshkenbein folded he shook his head then ordered a vodka and lemon from the waitress. Once that kicks in he may become even more loose, if such a thing is possible!
In a 3-bet pot, both Hans Erlandsson (3-bettor) and Iulian Ruxandescu (original raiser) both checked the 
flop to see a 
turn. Now Erlandsson slid out a bet of 100,000 in the form of 10 blue 10k chips but Ruxandescu brought out two stacks of his own, making it 226,000.
Erlandsson thought for a moment before giving up.
A pretty large pot had formed by the time we witnessed Vladimir Geshkenbein check-calling a 66,000 bet from Philip Meulyzer on the river of a 
board. Meulyzer turned over 
and Geshkenbein mucked, looking a little frustrated.
He's down to around 600,000 now, meaning that he's lost around a third of his stack today. Meulyzer is up to 1.35 million, meaning that he's almost doubled his stack since the start of play.
We're not sure how the action went, but we suspect that it was something along the lines of Ruxandescu raising from the small blind to cover Pierre Neuville, who then snap-called in the big blind. Witness:
Ruxandescu: 
Neuville:
Board: 
Neuville is now back in the game on 470,000. Ruxandescu is at 825,000.
Christian Fabri shoved, and Giacomo Maisto called. Maisto actually managed to flip his cards before the big blind had acted, but he snatched them back and apologised for his mistake. He was let off and now both players turned their cards over legitimately.
Maisto:
Fabri: 
Board:
It was an easy double up for Fabri; he's now on 280,000. Maisto is still in pretty good shape on 1,135,000.
