Bloechlinger Chips Up Further
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Maureen Bloechlinger's raise was called only by Cristian Tardea in the small blind and the flop came 
. Tardea checked and called a bet of 2,600 before doing so again for 5,700 on the 
turn. Tardea then checked the 
river and Bloechlinger made it 7,000 to go.
Tardea looked over and grinned at Bloechlinger, who smiled back. Tardea folded and Bloechlinger mucked her cards with the words "too much."

Hatipoglu Busts Calinescu
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Bahadir Hatipoglu has already fired five entries on Day 1c and may eventually build up a stack for Day 2. The latest showdown included Hatipoglu and plenty of drama. He had raised to 2,500 and picked up three callers. Claudiu Calinescu was in the big blind with a T-5,000 in for his big blind and 100 chips behind. He tossed in the single chip without saying all in, which Hatipoglu took as an all in and jammed over the top.
The floorman was called and the ruling was eventually confirmed just as that, which forced out the three callers.
Claudiu Calinescu: 
Bahadir Hatipoglu:
The board ran out 
and the kicker played to eliminate Calinescu.

Micu Jams Twice and Shows
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Mihai Micu first jammed into Traian Bostan on a ten-high flop and showed pocket kings after the fold of Bostan. Soon after, Micu was involved in a hand again with Bostan and Andrei Spataru.
On the 
flop, only Spataru called a bet of 11,000 and folded to a jam on the 
turn. He flashed and Micu returned the favor, revealing 
for a set.

Drytchak Busts Catanoiu and Lakhdari
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On a previous table, Marian Catanoiu had jammed preflop for far more than the average stack into a min-raise and three callers, flashing 
before raking in the pot amid plenty of laughter at the table. He was then moved to a table with big stack Natalia Drytchak. He kept the same strategy, albeit with fewer chips and out of the big blind. Omar Lakhdari as initial raiser reshoved and Drytchak snap-called in the small blind.
Marian Catanoiu: 
Omar Lakhdari: 
Natalia Drytchak: 
On a board of 
, Drytchak scored yet another double knockout to further build a massive wall.
David Hughes joked "if she is calling, you know it's all over, she has knocked out everyone from this table."

Big Double for Chiva
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With more than 85,000 already in the middle and the turn showing 
, Eugen Chiva moved all in for the last 47,900 and faced Alexandru Ciureanu. The latter asked for an exact count and used two time banks before making the call.
Eugen Chiva:
Alexandru Ciureanu:
Ciureanu shook his head and the river failed to improve his hand. Despite losing this massive pot, Ciureanu still has two times the starting stack at his disposal.
