Steve 'The Jelly' Jelinek, who finalled EPT Monte Carlo in 2007, has trebled up his short stack to 35,000 after defending his blind with 6-2. "It came 2-2-J and the initial raiser had A-J," he laughed, his recent fortunes forming a new-found confidence in the Brit's campaign.

Arnaud Mattern Eliminated, Ramzi Jelassi Passes 100K

After Ramzi Jelassi raised to 3,200 preflop, Arnaud Mattern pushed from the big blind for 25,000 and Jelassi made the call, his {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} in good shape against the Frenchman's {10-Spades}{9-Spades} . The flop was {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} with two diamonds, Jelassi picking up a flush draw and Mattern a straight draw. The turn was the {Q-Spades}, Mattern improving to a double-gutshot straight draw, but the lowly {4-Hearts} on the river paired Jelassi and sent the Frenchman to the rail.

Before the call, Ramzi asked a stoic Mattern, "What would you do?" "I don't know what you have," replied Mattern. "I have A-4," he answered. Mattern simply shrugged.

After the hand, Jelassi was up to over 100,000 in chips.

Surinder Sunar Treading Water

Surinder Sunar
Surinder Sunar, who has been below average throughout the day, just picked up a much needed double up when his {A-?} {J-?} held up against the {A-?} {7-?} of his opponent. Action folded around to Sunar in the small blind and he moved all in. The big blind called instantly with his ace but Sunar's kicker was best.

Sunar is still alive with just over 11,000.
