EPT regular and a famous Italian journalist Mario Adinolfi bet 1,050 in the hijack spot on the 
board and was called by his fellow countryman Enrico Tau and the PokerStars qualifier from Germany Pascal Hartmann went out of the way.
Both remaining players checked the 
on the turn and Adinolfi fired a bet of 2,000 when the dealer flipped 
on the river and Tau instantly folded.
Action folded to Andy Frankenberger in the cutoff and he raised to 475. The button was having none of it and pushed back with a three-bet to 1,300. The blinds got out of the way, Frankenberger called, and it was heads-up action to the 
, which both players checked.
When the 
hit the turn, Frankenberger checked and opened the door for the button to bet 1,500. Frankenberger woke up with a check-raise to 3,600, his opponent called, and then he checked the 
. The button wasted little time in betting 5,500, and Frankenberger snap-folded.

Andy Frankenberger's good start has continued into level three after he won a three-way three-bet pot.
There was a raise and call before Frankenberger squeezed from the button. It didn't deter either player from calling. All three were wary of the 
board as it was checked all the way down. One player opened 
but it was Frankenberger who scooped with his winning 
.

With 3,900 in the pot and a board reading 
, Justin Bonomo bet 4,200 from middle position and put the pressure on Mihails Morozovs, who eventually folded.
Bonomo began to slide his cards to the dealer when Morozovs asked, "
€100?"
"€100, really?" Bonomo asked as he pulled his cards back. The American seemed legitimately interested in showing his hand for €100.
"Next time," Morozovs said with the knowledge that Bonomo was willing to show for a price.
