Sun Shining on Day 3

CHIIIIIIIPPP LEEEEEAAADDDEERRRR
CHIIIIIIIPPP LEEEEEAAADDDEERRRR
Good morning and welcome back to the glamorous Casino San Remo where 194 players remain of the record-breaking 1,240 that started a few days ago.

The sun has returned to us following a dodgy grey spell yesterday when the volcanic ash cloud passed overhead, but if you're not still in the tournament don't head for the beach just yet! Although everything else seems to have shut down for the Sabbath in the still apparently religiously observant town, the casino is absolutely buzzing and we hope to get this poker party underway in around half an hour.

Only 184 places pay out, meaning that 10 unfortunate runners will be going home with nothing. Chip leader at the moment is Dmitry Stelmak, a well-known face on the circuit after cashes here and in Barcelona last year, as well as a high-roller final table appearance at the PCA this January. But as we know from occasionally bitter experience, anything can happen.

Level: 16

Blinds: 2,500/5,000

Ante: 500

Kim KO'd

We arrived to see Kelly Kim all in and just about to turn into all out. We're guessing the chips went in pre though - they usually do in spots like this.

Kim: {K-?} {K-?}
Antonio Maranzano: {A-?} {A-?}

Board: {6-?} {A-?} {Q-?} {Q-?} {9-?}

Tier Caught With His Pantaleo Down

Again, we're not sure for certain when the chips went in, but we would hazard a guess that all the action happened preflop.

Miguel Magan Tier: {Q-?} {Q-?}
Giuseppe Pantaleo: {A-?} {K-?}

{2-?} {6-?} {K-?} {K-?} {10-?}

Pantaleo was telling the table, "Well, I was never going to fold..."

Commence The Dwellathon!

Andrea Federico is being carefully watched by the floormen at the moment, he is nursing a short stack but spending a couple of minutes dwelling for every hand.

He had the clock called on during one hand preflop and finally folded with four seconds remaining. Gerald, one of the tournament directors, came by and checked Federico's hand after it had been mucked and told the Italian he was now on a one minute clock every hand.

Arnaud All In Again

Arnaud Mattern has been all in preflop twice in the last orbit. The first time he shipped it, nobody called and he flashed his {A-Spades} {J-Clubs}. No action on the second shove either, and he showed {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades}. A couple pots of blinds and antes have moved his stack up close to 100,000.

Get Out Of Jail

Mohsen Jalal Tayfeh Shokor has escaped the sadness of being a bubblee after his {J-Clubs} {10-Spades} cracked Marco Fabrini's {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} all-in preflop on a {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} board. A joyful Shokor was delighted while still apologising to Fabrini.

Ruthenberg Runs it Down

Sebastian Ruthenberg opened to 11,000 from early position only to see Claus Uhrskov three-bet to 26,000 on the button. Ruthenberg called the extra to see a flop, and he checked in the dark as the dealer spread out {2-Spades} {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}. Uhrskov took his time thinking it over before checking it back.

Fourth street brought the {2-Hearts} to pair the board. Reaching for chips now, Ruthenberg slid out a bet of 28,000. Uhrskov, acting very deliberately, cut the chips out of his stack and stared at them for another minute before making the call.

The last card off was the {4-Hearts}, and Ruthenberg fired again, 48,000 this time. The bet represented about one third of Uhrskov's remining chips, and he would take another couple minutes to consider before reluctantly making the call.

Ruthenberg tabled {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for the flush, and his opponent flung his cards into the muck with a frustrated scowl all over his face. Ruthenberg is up to about 375,000 after that nice pot.
