Welcome to the Team
As we walked over to check on his stack, we caught Bichon involved in a pot. Ville Haavisto had opened the pot with a raise from middle position, and Bichon three-bet a few seats down the line. Haavisto called, and the flop came
. Bichon continued out with a pot-sized bet of 4,000, and Haavisto quickly made the call.Fourth and fifth streets came the
and the 
respectively, with both players checking it down. Haavisto was first to show, and his 
was good enough to win the pot. Bichon mucked with a frown, and his stack has slipped back to 25,700 after that exchange.
Kabrhel Caught Short
The flop came down a full-of-potential
and Kabrhel bet out 5,625. Togsverd raised another 9,000, and then very quickly all at once Kabrhel announced all in and Togsverd announced call.Kabrhel: a speculative

When we asked Mr. Togsverd his name, he initially just told us, "Christian." "Christian what?" we asked innocently. "Christian Luckbox!" shouted someone across the table.
Mr. Luckbox is up to perhaps 80,000 while Kabrhel is reduced to just 4,000, meaning the Czech could soon be liberated from this Main Event to continue his domination of the EPT side events.

Making Hedway
By the time we arrived Eames was already short-stacked, and was contemplating calling a 2,500 bet from Peter Hedlund on the river of a
board. "You think I have a niner?" Hedlund was saying. "You could always go all in." Smiling vaguely and doing his best to ignore Hedlund's good-natured chattering, Eames eventually flat-called, but was disappointed to see Hedlund turn over pocket threes for a full house. Eames flashed a third nine. "Jesus, you had a niner?" said Hedlund. "I should have bet more."
Eames is down to just 4,000, but at least he is enjoying what looks to be a very thorough massage.

And That's Your Lot
Minieri Moves Minimally Down
The flop came out
, and Minieri continued out with a small bet. Garmark called, and the 
on the turn drew a check from both players. The hit the river, and Minieri flicked 300 chips off his stack, making the minimum bet. Garmark let out a quick, "Hmph," and a smirk, and he eventually made a raise up to 2,300. Minieri quickly called.Garmark tabled
for the rivered set, and it was the winner. It was now Minieri's turn for the, "Hmph," and the smirk, and he slid his cards into the muck, still in fine shape with about 55,000 chips.
Lodden Shrinking
He seems to have initially checked the
flop and his opponent bet 1,000. Lodden now raised to 2,500, and Mr. Opponent quickly eyed him up before making the call.The turn came down the
and Lodden looked bored as he tossed out a single 5,000-denomination chip by way of a bet. Undeterred, Mr. Opponent called again and they saw a river.The river was the
and Lodden spent a moment gurning in silence before betting out 8,400. Mr. Opponent called that too, and Lodden flipped 
. His opponent, however, had him just pipped with 
, and Lodden is left with considerably fewer chips to play with.
Skampa in Charge
Most recently, he opened for 800 in the hijack, only to be faced with a reraise to 2,000 from the gentleman in the cutoff. Skampa calmly made it 5,000, and that was all that was required to make his opponent lay it down. Skampa's facial muscles didn't so much as twitch.
