Manuel Labour

Manuel Coppola was presumably desperately short when he got it in with {K-?} {6-?} against Emiliano Conti's {A-?} {K-?}. Either way he failed to spike, and consequently hit the rail.

Mattern of the Screwed

Arnaud - Out
Arnaud - Out
Arnaud Mattern was found in the now greatly reduced queue for the payout desk.

"Shoved seven big blinds, not interesting," he sighed. He'd shoved with {K-?} {8-?} and got called by a gentleman holding {A-?} {10-?}. "I flopped the flush draw obviously, but..." He shrugged in a most Gallic fashion as he picked up his €9,000 payday.

Isn't It Ironico

Like the Alanis Morissette song, not really - it's just unfortunate.

Michel Abecassis found himself coinflipping for his tournament life with {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} against Gianfranco Ironico's {J-Spades} {J-Hearts}.

Board: {A-Spades} {2-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}

Abecassis doubled to 280,000. Ironico shook his hand and was left with just 11,500. He busted a few moments later.

Check it Back, Then Curse

Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree
In early position, Giuseppe Pantaleo opened the pot to 16,500. Liv Boeree made the call a few seats over, and the big blind came along for a three-way flop.

It rolled out {4-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {6-Clubs}, and Pantaleo continued out with a bet of 22,500. Boeree wanted to play for more, and she bumped it up to 68,000 total. That was enough to fold the big blind, and Pantaleo put in the call to see another card.

It was the {10-Hearts}. He checked, and Liv stacked out a bet of 110,000 and slid it into the middle. Pantaleo wasn't going anywhere; he made the call.

The river came the {K-Diamonds}, and Boeree elected to check behind her opponent and show it down. She flipped up {6-Clubs} {6-Spades}, and Pantaleo tumbled his {Q-?} {Q-?} into the muck with some degree of frustration.

"Would you have called another bet on the river if I had set you in?" she asked. Pantaleo was too flustered to really answer, and he basically just shrugged and continued scowling. After another minute or so, he turned to her and told her that he probably would have called all in for his last ~300,000 on the river.

"F**k!" Boeree said, grinning.

No reason to be too upset, though. She's up over the 800,000-chip mark and challenging for the lead.

Karlsson Adds To Chip Lead

Your new chip leader
Your new chip leader
A rare four-way raised pot saw a flop of {A-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. Jacob Karlsson and Mattias De Meulders checked from the blinds, Heinz Kamutzki fired out 42,000 and Kamir Karabulut called.

Karlsson now check-raised to 118,000, Meulders folded, as did Kamutzki after some thought. But Karabulut called this bet and the {2-Clubs} turn and {5-Diamonds} were checked down very cautiously by the two big as both were obviously a little worried about the other. Karlsson flipped {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} to take the pot as Kamutzki could only show a interestingly played {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}.

Rosa Has Thorns

Giacomo Rosa just got rather lucky to eliminate Dmitry Vitkind after getting the Russian all-in with {9-Hearts} {9-Spades} against {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}. The board of {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} looked fairly safe but then an ugly little {9-Clubs} came on the river and Vitkind was gone.

Level: 18

Blinds: 4,000/8,000

Ante: 500

No Joy Of Six For Troger

Roberto Canali opened to 14,000 from the cutoff and Antonio Maranzano flat-called from the button.

Christian Troger then reraised all-in from the big blind, Canali called and Maranzano folded.

Canali: {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Troger: {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades}

Board: {K-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {J-?}
