Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Luca Falaschi
Luca Falaschi

A deafening cry of, "YESSSSS!!!" piqued our interest; we strolled over to the table to find Luca Falaschi knocking out IPT Leaderboard winner Tamas Lendvai.

Board: {j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

Lendvai: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Falaschi: {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

TD Gerard came by to warn Falaschi about excessive celebration. "Is the best time in my life," Falaschi apologised. He's up to 150,000.

Welcome Our Newest Press Room Friend, Carmen

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Carmen
Carmen

Do not adjust your sets! What you see before you is German press room fixture Tobias, who is today going by the name Carmen. He and TD Thomas Kremser had a little wager going on Day 1 about the number of runners for this tournament. The line was 988 and Tobias took the over. Total number of runners - 987. Thomas Kremser is good. And Tobias' forfeit was to dress as a lady for the whole of Day 2.

"I hate Thomas Kremser," Tobias told us, but in truth he looks as though he's actually enjoying himself. Perhaps enjoying himself rather too much.

Savela Gets Lacay on the River

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

When we joined the action Ludovic Lacay was faced with a three-bet from Aleksi Savela. It was for 11,000 and Lacay made the call. The dealer gave us a flop of {j-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {j-Clubs} and Lacay check-called a 11,000 bet by Savela. There seemed to be a bit of irritable banter between the two of them as they checked down the turn {2-Spades} and the river {10-Spades}. The last aggressor was Savela and he turned over {k-Clubs} {10-Clubs} much to the obvious annoyance of Lacay.

Lacay now has 134,000 and Savela has 96,000.
