Molby Trips Up Opponent
Jan Molby was sat in the small blind, deep in thought as to what to do, fiddling with his chips all the while. Aage Ravn had opened to 5,100 and Molby had 34,000 in front of him. Decision made; all-in. Snap call and hands on their backs.
Molby: 
Ravn: 
Molby was in deep trouble but found a way out of it through the 
board. Trips will do it.

A Trio of Hands
- Grzegorz Cichocki raised to 5,200 in the hijack seat and Lauri Varonen called on the button. The flop was
and Cichocki c-bet to the tune of 7,200. Varonen counted out a raise of 20,500 and moved them over the line and Cichocki glanced at the clock before folding his hand. - Keld Volquardsen raised to 7,000 in first position and after the cut off called Simon Ravnsbaek three-bet from the big blind making it 23,800 to play. Volquardsen four-bet to 62,000, the cutoff folded and after a while in the tank so did Ravnsbaek.
Stig Christensen raised to 5,700 in the cutoff and Ravnsbaek defended his big blind. The flop was
and Ravnsbaek check-called a 7,000 Christensen bet. The same pattern ensued on the 
turn, this time for 11,000, before both players checked at the sight of the 
on the river. When the cards were turned over Ravnsbaek realised he could have gotten himself in all sorts of trouble had a club hit the board.Christensen

Petersen Starts Shoving
Mickey Petersen is quite short stacked right now and has started to move all-in in an attempt to pick up some much needed chips.
Just now the action folded to the Team PokerStars Pro and he moved all in for 44,600. Nobody wanted to tussle with him and he took back his bet and picked up the blinds and antes.

Record Extending 21st Cash Looking Unlikely for Pagano
Luca Pagano is very good, normally, at surviving these stages of a tournament to secure a cash. He was just crippled to five big blinds though and there was very little he could've done about it.
He and Robert Beer got their chips in pre flop in a pot worth more than 160k.
Pagano:
Beer: 
The board ran 
to make the German a full house. The Team PokerStars Pro was not a happy bunny.

Christensen Opens Lead

Flop: 
- Christensen checked, Ravnsbaek fired a bet of 7,700 and Christensen called.
Turn: - Christensen checked, Ravnsbaek fired again making it 15,800 and again Christensen called.
River: 
- Christensen checked for a third time but Ravnsbaek had done enough betting and he checked it back.
Christensen showed 
for a set of tens and Ravnsbaek tossed his cards to the dealer.

Hansen Gets it in Bad, Busts
Jacob Rasmussen has taken care of Lars Damgaard Hansen to break through the 200k mark.
He opened to 5,000 from mid position before Hansen three-bet to 14,700. When Rasmussen realised his opponent only had 50,000 back he slid over a tower of blue 5k chips. Hansen seemed to know he was in bad shape, but committed to his fate. Call.

The board ran 
and Hansen headed off.

Grzegorz Cichocki
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Keep your eye on this player: Grzegorz Cichocki. He finished in 2nd place at EPT Tallinn with a seemingly fearless approach to the game. He is currently sharing the same table as Melanie Weisner and Lauri Varonen and he is showing them, once again, that he has no fear at the table. After raising for three consecutive pots Cichocki once again moved a bet into the pot. This time Varonen decided to put him in his place with a 14,300 three-bet. How did Cichocki react? He moved all in for nearly 200,000 chips of course. Varonen folded and Cichocki counted out a raise in preparation for his next hand!
Iversen Doubles But Is Still Short
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Fresh from losing almost all of his chips to Steve O'Dwyer, Albert Iversen has just doubled up through PokerStars Team Pro Online Mickey Petersen.
Iversen open-shoved for 8,800 on the button and Petersen made the call.
Iversen:
Petersen 
"How do you read me like that," joked Petersen as the dealer got busy putting out the five community cards, which by the river read 
. Iversen climbed to around 20,000 whilst Petersen is down to around 43,000
