Over in the far corner where no TV crew dare venture, a raising war between Roberto Romanello and another player had culminated in Romanello going all in. His opponent gave it quite a serious tank, but eventually folded, and the EPT Prague winner is now at 145,000.
We caught just a tantalising glimpse of this hand - one of many, by the looks of it, that have gone Fabrice Soulier's way today.
Board: 
Soulier: for two pair
Konstantin Puchkov: nodded and mucked
Soulier is now above the half million mark.
A short-stacked Dermot Blain moved all-in preflop and Jeffrey Hakim raised for protection from the button.
Blain: 
Hakim: 
Board: 
and the red-haired Irishman was gone, wishing everyone good luck on his way out of the door.
Ramzi Jelassi's tournament is over for today. The Swede was all-in preflop with 
but lost out to PokerStars Online Qualifier Steven Vollers' 
when the board came 
.
Vollers is up to 100,000.
There was perhaps 30,000 or 40,000 in the pot and a flop reading 
on the felt by the time we arrived at Jan Heitmann's table; the German Team PokerStars Pro had bet 25,000 and faced a shove for another 40,000 from Vegard Vestvik. Heitmann tanked up for some minutes, occasionally apologizing to the table for how long he was taking over his decision. Eventually he called, and he was soon ruing the decision as he dropped back below 90,000. Vestvik doubled to 160,000.
Heitmann: 
Vestvik: 
Turn: 
River: 
He probably thought that this was a great chance for a double up to over 200,000, but William Ross was about to get a shock, and a boot out the door. He'd three-bet a relatively new player to the table Giuseppe Pantaleo (16,000 over 6,300) and there was a pause while this was considered. Active and with just over 100,000 chips, a decision formed in Player Two's mind to get rid of Ross. He moved all in, covering him. Ross immediately called and showed 
. His opponent could only table 
.
Flop:
Turn: 
River: 
With barely a nod and a cold expression, Ross headed off, shaking Kristijonas Andrulis' hand (the neighbours seemed to have a mutual respect). The usual response to having beaten aces with nine-high commenced.
"It was three-bet, four-bet all the time. I thought he was pushing me as I was new to the table." Pantaleo stacked his 300,000+.
The board read 
when we got there and the player out of position had bet out 25,000. On the button, Salman Behbehani was tanking. After a little while he made the call.
They saw a river which brought in any potential flushes out there, and the out-of-position player asked how much Behbehani had behind. Behbehani would only tell him that he'd had 130,000 at the start of the hand, but he would soon find out exactly how much he had left - Out-Of-Position checked, and Behbenhani shoved for what the dealer counted at 93,500. The young gent tanked for some time but ultimately folded, and Behbehani, who'd taken a serious hit, is back up to around 175,000.
Arnaud Mattern has been eliminated by compatriot Hugo Lemaire after the Frenchman Team PokerStars Pro raised to 8,500 then called all-in when Lemaire put him to the test with . Mattern turned over 
but couldn't spike on a 
board, going home with nothing.
A short-stacked Matt Affleck has been knocked out after he pushed with 
from the button and got called by the small blind's dominating 
. The TV crew scrambled in with the cameras to catch what became Affleck's last appearance in this tournament after the board came down 
but the boom microphone followed the youngster around for a little longer as he tried to escape the maze of chairs and tables.
Ilya Gorodetskiy raised and faced a shove from the gentleman to his left, across the dealer. It folded back around to Gorodetskiy who made the call, and they were on their backs.
Gorodetskiy:
Gentleman Opponent: 
Board: a very exciting 
Gorodetskiy's opponent couldn't find his flush on the turn or river and Gorodetskiy's set of tens was good to take the pot. He's at over 190,000 now and looking good for a second consecutive deep run in this tournament.
