Weekes Stronger
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Jonathan Weekes (under the gun) bet out 7,200 on a 
flop; Matt Affleck (hijack) made the call. Weekes bet out another 12,000 on the 
turn and Affleck, after a brief pause, called that too.
The river was the 
and this time Weekes checked. Affleck checked behind, and looked a little surprised when Weekes turned over 
. Affleck mucked, and they're at roughly 170,000 apiece after that, though moving in opposite directions.
Moretto Doubles Up Through Romanello
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
The usually talkative Roberto Romanello was unusually quiet as he doubled up Michael Anthony Moretto just moments ago.
Romanello raised from under the gun to 4,600, Moretto seated two seats to his left raised to 13,500 and when the action folded back to Romanello he requested a count. He was informed that Moretto only had 28,000 more, so Romanello put a fistful of yellow 5,000 chips into the middle and he was called.
Romanello: 
Moretto: 
The Welsman's queens stayed ahead on a 
flop but fell way behind when the 
peeled off on the turn. The on the river gave Moretto an unnecessary two pair and he doubled to around 80,000, whilst Romanello has in the region of 290,000
Prydryk's Timing Worse than Broken Watch
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Ruslan Prydryk suffered from some poor timing as he made a stab at a big pot vs. Rasmus Nielsen, betting over 30,000 on the river. The board was 
-rag-rag-rag-
and large-stacked Nielsen immediately called with 
for top two pair. Prydryk flipped up 
for no pair and had to face his halved stack (50k-ish) while Nielsen keeps rising - over 290,000 and counting.
Queens Still No Good For Romanello
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Not long ago we reported a hand where Roberto Romanello got his money in with a pair of queens against ace-king and lost. Well history has just repeated itself but this time Joseph El Khoury was the man to benefit from the Welshman's misfortune.
El Khoury raised to 6,000 from early position and Romanello, next to act, re-raised to 15,000. The action folded back to El Khoury who quickly moved all in for what turned out to be 61,900. Romanello quickly called and it was off to the races;
Romanello:
El Khoury: 
The first card out on the flop was the 
giving El Khoury a huge advantage and he stayed ahead as the other four community cards fell 
to put him on 158,000 and drop Romanello to 230,000
Losev Holz Lennart in His Tracks
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Lennart Holz, the man who rather spectacularly busted a short-stacked ElkY yesterday (see https://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/2010-ept-prague/main-event/day1b/post.170493.htm?page=6 if you're interested), was in position and looking at a 
board. Nikolay Losev in the big blind had checked to him, and Holz bet 19,500, around a quarter of his stack. Losev called.
The river was the 
and this time Losev bet out 56,000, not quite enough to put Holz in, but near enough. Holz tanked up for a period that felt like forever but couldn't have actually been eternal as eventually he folded.
Losev is at 160,000 now.
Rollercoaster Ride For Lewis
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Toby Lewis has had a real rollercoaster ride of emotion during tday's play, both highs and lows.
He started the day with 77,100 chips but quickly found himself as low as 18,000 before finding himself as high as 190,000 in level 11! He now sits behind a pile of chips totalling around 90,000 after he got all in with against 
on a 
flop. The turn was the 
giving Lewis a flush but the river was another seven, giving his opponent a full house!
It's been entertaining, for us bloggers at least!

Pfutzenreuter the Picture of Nonchalance
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Timo Pfutzenreuter, at one point yesterday owner of a large stack, has dropped considerably. Not so far, however, that Fredrik Forsell wanted to call his four-bet shove from the button (Forsell in the big blind having tested his resolve with a reraise). While Forsell steeled himself to bid farewell to his 11k+ Pfutzenreuter read a book propped on the edge of the table, his final 40k sitting in neat piles in front of him. With headphones on and eyes down on the text he looked as if he were waiting for a bus and not to see if he was about to put his EPT on the line.
He did not get the call; Forsell now takes his turn as a short stack.
Saout Moves In
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
The flop read 
and Antoine Saout bet out 9,700, but across the table Andreas Berggren made it 22,200 to go. Saout sat there for a bit, looking terribly sad, but we think that's just his default expression as after a little while he went all in. Berggren quickly folded, and Saout is at 110,000 now, though not looking any happier.
