Fatima Moreira de Melo is half the lady she once was. Her stack has dipped to less than 40,000 chips. This was partly due to bet-folding on a board in a three-way hand.
Vadzim Kursevich, who came third at EPT7 Berlin for €300,000, is having a good day. He's up from 114,800 to 235,000.
Mattias De Meulder is out. He lost with king-queen to ace-five, and then shoved his last few big blinds in with eight-six from the small blind. The big blind called with king-eight and the board bricked.
Toby Lewis Tweeted a while ago that he was sad that his table was about to break. He was moved to 34 and lost a pot pretty quickly, so now he's probably really sad.
He was heads-up with Sven Ellrich and the two had made it to the turn of a board. There was around 16,000 chips in the middle so we're assuming that Ellrich had called a Lewis raise (in the big blind) and check-called a c-bet before checking the turn. Lewis took his time and checked behind to see the river.
Ellrich led for 11,200 and Lewis thought it through, called, and mucked upon seeing his opponent's for a flopped flush.
Vanessa Rousso is out after a cooler battle-of-the blinds. She sat in the big blind with pocket eights and got her chips in versus Jorge Galino Lopez in the small blind. The PokerStars qualifier opened pocket aces and flopped a third to bust the Team PokerStars Pro.
After suffering an ugly beat earlier, Luca Pagano has regained his early momentum.
Picking up the action on a board, Pagano's opponent in the hand bet 8,100. Pagano shoved with the bigger stack, sending his opponent into the tank for a good five minutes. With about 20,000 behind, his opponent finally called for his tournament life with , but was flushed out by Pagano's .
