Ghattas Kortas opened to 1,800 from early position and to his direct left is Alber Hanna and he made it 4,300. The action folded all the way back around to Kortas and he four-bet to 10,600. Hanna winced before sucking air through his teeth and mucking his hand.
Kortas flipped over 
quite proudly.

Dear poker world,
Please accept our sincere apologies but we are experiencing some internet difficulties here in Copenhagen. Hopefully, the people who are smarter than us will fix it shortly.
Marcel Bjerkmann doubled-up with the mighty 
and tabled his winning hand whilst saying, “This is one for the media!”
A Norwegian colleague brought us the hand so the details are a little sketchy. There was a raise that Bjerkmann called along with Michael Tureniec before Danny Neess three-bet to 12,500 from the big blind. Bjerkmann was the only caller to the 
flop.
The chips went in and the Norwegian rivered the 
to make a flush and crack the aces that belonged to Neess.

Our legendary reporter MarcC reported earlier about the quality on Table 34. Team PokerStars Theo Jorgensen is inconspicuous by his absence but his seat has been taken by Simon Ravnsbaek and 180,000 chips.
"Hello, do you still hate me?" Ravnsbaek asked Anton Wigg as he sat down.
"I don't hate you. You just made some weird comment online and wouldn't let it go," said Wigg.
Ravnsbaek went on to explain that he made the comment because Wigg had commented about one of his friends, also whilst playing online.
"It's just poker," said Wigg.
"Let's keep it that way then, " said Ravnsbaek.
"But you didn't," said Wigg.
We left just before both players started smacking each other with their trendy scarves.
We joined the action on a board reading 
and having seen Maksim Semisoshenko bet 15,000 into the 22,000 pot from the big blind. He had a very anguished look on his face and that is because he is facing an all-in bet of 58,000 from Lupu Alexandru on the button.
Semisoshenko has taken so long to act that half of his table have grown beards, not really but you get the picture. Eventually Alexandru called the clock but as the floorman began his count down Semisoshneko let his hand go.
Arnaud Mattern, the French Team PokerStars Pro, is down to around 10 big blinds and in push-or-fold mode.
Just now Mikita Badziakouski opened to 1,600 on the button and it was blatantly obvious Mattern was going to push from the big blind and low and behold that is what happened, and Badziakouski snap-folded.
We have reached our second break of the day. We will be back in 15-minutes time.
Will Molsen and Victor Ilyukhin have just clashed with Molsen suffering a fatal wound. Molsen's pocket sevens were no match for the pocket eights of Ilyukhin in the pre flop clash which ended the tournament life of Molsen.
Theo Jorgensen Tweeted:
“Out. :( Moved all in with 55 for the last 10K and got called by 10,10”
Arnaud Mattern popped by the media room with a glum look upon his face. “They got me again,” said the Team PokerStars Pro.
“I re-shipped with ace-six and he called with ace-three, and found a three,” he told us.

Lauri Varonen started the day with 165,150 chips and by the end of Level 9 he has increased it to 200,000. Here is winning back to back pots.
Varonen raised to 2,800 in first position and the big blind defended. The flop came down 
and a Varonen c-bet took down the pot.
In the next hand there was a five-way limped pot and Varonen decided to have stab at the pot after it was checked through to the turn on a board of 
and everyone folded.
