Sensing a spot to short-stack-shove in the big blind when small blind Jens Weigel was the only player left in the hand preflop, Roberto Romanello found himself called and all-in with vs. .
There was silence on the flop, and also when Romanello's live rag hit on the turn. When the river completed Weigel's straight, Romanello missed it, saying, "That's how you win tournaments."
When he turned to give Weigel a gentlemanly 'hard luck' handshake, Weigel said, "I won," and collected his 230,000 stack while Romanello admitted, "I'm dreaming! Good luck gents."

Two padded stacks collide frequently now that Thorsten Schäfer and Kristijonas Andrulis share a table. They just played a game of chicken preflop with Schäfer's four-bet taking the pot. Schäfer said, "Game of chicken!" and Andrulis took out an earphone and said, "Did you just call me a chicken?"
Maksim Kolosov has knocked out Erich Kollman after an unavoidable case of for the Russian against the German's .
The flop came virtually killing Kollman's hopes but there was a chink of daylight on the turn.
"The king of diamonds please," requested Kollman hopefully.
The river was the , right suit, wrong card as Kollman became the latest casualty of the level.
Dara O'Kearney has doubled up once more pushing with over the top of Aurelien Guiglini's initial raise. Ruslan Prydryk then moved all-in over the top from the big blind.
Guiglini thought for a couple of minutes then folded.
O'Kearney:
Prydryk:
Guiglini, "I had the other two tens... I was calling him [meaning O'Kearney] but I can't call both of you."
The board came and O'Kearney doubled up to 300,000 Prydryk was left with just 60,000
Following the exits of Fatima Moreira de Melo (105th place) and Victoriya Taranova (101st), this is now indeed an all-male affair. Our remaining 71 gentleman players will now take a 15 minute break.
It's a real shame that we have absolutely zero access to the feature table, as Fabrice Soulier has been doing sterling work up there to extend his lead. Perhaps some of the TV guys will fill us in on some of the action in a break or something.

Jeffrey Hakim's microstack has now become a mere short short stack after Andreas Lutz got his even shorter stack in with for a flush draw on a flop. Hakim's for top pair held on the turn and river, and he's at 200,000.
Online qualifier Igor Ivashkiv got his last in with . "You have aces?" someone asked caller Alessandro Laubinger.
"Of course!" he said and turned over .
Not looking good for Ivashkiv. But check it out:
Board:
Ivashkiv banged the table in delight as he made a four-flush to double up to 470,000. Former chip millionaire Laubinger is down to a still hefty 850,000.
