, Salvador Soria bet 42,000 into a pot of 79,000 and that sent Marius Gicovanu deep into the think tank. He used two time bank extensions and eventually opted to fold.
Gicovanu is already on his second bullet of the day and the same also applies for Claudio Di Giacomo one seat over.

While several players have nearly three times the starting stack, one particular big stack has just appeared and that one belongs to Gleb Novik. The Russian, who had already taken part in the last 888poker LIVE London festival, seems to be the current chip leader.
Novik just now scooped a pot in which 18,000 chips to the ![]()
![]()
flop brought no further betting action on the
turn and
river. Novik tabled the ![]()
for nines and fives, which was enough to scoop the pot.

Omar Del Pino raised in the hijack and was called by Sofia Lovgren in the cutoff. Del Pino continued on the ![]()
![]()
flop and picked up a call before he checked the
turn, Lovgren bet 3,500 and received a call.
On the
river, Del Pino checked once more and Lovgren bet 13,000. A check-raise to 95,100 followed and Lovgren was covered by that. She grabbed into her passport to retrieve the time bank cards and used one of them before opting to fold.

Tiffany Michelle challenges Chris Moorman (motherland: England) and Ana Marquez (motherland: Spain) to a hilarious, international heads-up battle of WHO DOES IT BETTER.
Tomasz Brzezinski had re-entered just moments ago and the very first hand he played would result in his elimination. In a battle against table big stack Luis Jimenez Vela Brzezinski flopped top pair with ![]()
and turned trips queens on a ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
board only for Jimenez Vela to reveal ![]()
for the better kicker.
On his way out Brzezinski could all but smile.
