Ismail Erkenov:
Vasily Kylukin:
The board didn't help Erkenov at all and he was already up from his chair by the time the river was dealt: . Erkenov takes home €63,000, a figure that awaits the next two players as well.
Philipp Gruissem is really stepping up the aggression towards the end of the day, constantly bullying people out of pots and barrelling three streets.
In a recent hand against Byron Kaverman, Gruissem raised to 26,000 and Kaverman made the call.
The flop was . Kaverman check-called a bet of 33,000 from Gruissem. The turn was the and again Kaverman check-called a bet of 70,000 from Gruissem. The river was the and if Kaverman was hoping Gruissem would give up he was to be sorely disappointed.

Chip leader Philipp Gruissem opened the pot with a raise only to have Antoine Berube three-bet all in for 105,000 total. Gruissem had chips to spare and made the call.
Berube:
Gruissem:
"Sorry," Gruissem offered for calling so light. Berube didn't seem to mind, especially after the board ran out a safe to give him a double.
Stephen Chidwick raised under the gun plus one for 25,000 and Anatoly Gurtovoy right next to him made the call.

The turn brought the into play and Anderson now check-called another 66,000. The river was the and Anderson checked again. Kitai placed 117,000 in the middle and Anderson called reluctantly.
Kitait showed his first, but that hand was no good as Anderson tabled .
On the turn of a board, Noah Schwartz had checked and Martin Finger bet 58,000. Schwartz, who'd picked up a WSOPE bracelet last year, thought briefly before making the call to see the on the river.
Schwartz checked again and Finger bet 155,000 - most of Schwartz' remaining stack. The American took about five minutes before eventually folding.
Finger let his opponent turn over one of his cards and Schwartz picked the and let out a wry smile, though Finger told him the hand was jack-three.
. Erkenov takes home €63,000, a figure that awaits the next two players as well.
