Oleksander Vaserfirer has seen his stack drop under the 100,000 mark after folding to a three-bet shove on the flop.
Salvatore Irace opened the betting with a raise to 4,000 from early position, a bet that only Vaserfirer called from the big blind. A flop of saw Vaserfirer check, Irace bet 8,300 and Vaserfirer check-raise to 16,600!
Irace instantly moved all in for what turned out to be 55,000, which Vaserfirer decided was too much to call, although it took him almost three minutes to decide this!
Alexander Luber did not fall into a river trap set by Kaspars Renga just now, despite having bet his way through the streets on the button. Preflop raiser Luber's last bet had come on the turn of a board, called by small blind Renga. On the river, Renga checked once again and Luber checked behind, despite having made two pair on the river with his . Renga showed with slight chagrin and took the pot as it was.
We found Fintan Gavin looking at a flop, a large bet/raise in front of him on the felt. Orpen Kisacikoglu thought about it for a long time before making the call.
The turn was the and Gavin promptly announced all in for around 60,000, roughly two thirds pot. He stood up and stood behind his chair, staring at Kisacikoglu with an expression that was predominantly weariness.
"Set one more time?" enquired Kisacikoglu after a while.
Gavin glanced at his watch. "I fly tonight at six," he explained.
Kisacikoglu continued to dwell up. "King-jack," he eventually decided; after a while longer in the tank, he made the call.
"Yah, it was a good call," Gavin immediately reassured him.

Gavin headed for the door and then presumably the airport. "He acts all the time," Kisacikoglu told the table as he raked in the pot; on 280,000 he is now among our bigger stacks.
Martin Kabrhel is out after a disappointing first level here on Day 2. Although he started the day out-chipping his eventual eliminator Antoine Saout 3:1, he'd dropped to under 45,000 and Saout had him covered when they finally clashed. Kabrhel was already walking towards the exit when we arrived at the table, although an was the winning hand in front of Saout (two pair on the board).
Liv Boeree has dropped another 18,000 or so chips on what she herself described as a "sick flop."
Joining the hand as the dealer was sweeping the chips into one big pile, it looked as if Filip Nechansky had raised preflop in middle position to 3,300 and both Jani Rasinen and Boeree called from the small and big blind respectively.
Flop: - Rasinen checked, as did Boeree but Nechansky made it 5,600 to play. Boeree quickly called once Rasinen mucked his hand.
Turn: - Boeree once again checked and then called a 10,500 bet from Nechansky.
River: - Neither player liked the ace of spades and both checked.
Boeree turned over but it was no good as her opponent turned over for a flopped two pair.
"It's a set up," declared Boeree as the chips found their way to Nechansky's stack.
Both Dominic Linder and Johan Berg are down from their starting stacks today, even though the former has just doubled through the latter. Preflop raiser Berg faced an immediate shove from Linder, and he made one of those peculiar insta-shrug-calls, knowing deep down his was probably in trouble. It was - Linder had which stayed ahead on a board of and gave him a new stack of 57,000 while Berg drops to 61,000.
Jesus Cortes Lizano faced down a Matt Affleck river bet (6,000) on a board of . He'd checked and then made the call with . Affleck could only table and Lizano got the pot and a table tap.
