The board read 
when we arrived, and Matthias De Meulder (big blind) had checked. Marius Pospiech (cutoff) went all in for 142,000, prompting a spell in the tank for De Meulder that lasted long enough for us to catch several exits at other tables. When we returned, De Meulder made the call - but nodded and mucked to Pospiech's 
straight.
De Meulder is down to 230,000.
We just caught up with Roberto Romanello as we broke and he told us how he lost half of his stack while playing on the feature table. He was all-in pre flop against Paul Berende's 
and Romanello had

quashed his dreams - he now has 250,000
Another level completed, another break for the players.

Team PokerStars Pro, Matthias De Meulder's tournament life is now hanging by a thread after he lost a vial coinflip against Candido Gonçalves.
We were attracted to the cry of "all-in and call" and when we arrived at Table 33, we saw De Meulder was holding 
and was up against Gonçalves' pocket fives.
By the river the board read 
and the Belgian Team Pro was left with just 60,000 chips, or a five big blinds. He has been very active in the last few orbits, it looks as if it may have costed him a shot at the title
Over on PokerStars, Club PokerNews are pleased to announce we have several exclusive $15,000 Sunday Million & $2,000 PCA Freerolls that you cannot find anywhere else.
The very next hand after his crippling, Matthias De Meulder went all in from the small blind for just 48,000 to a 36,000 raise from Allan Sice. Sice made the call, and they were on their backs.
"C'est pas mal, c'est pas mal," a railer told De Meulder as he patted the Team PokerStars Pro on the back.
De Meulder: 
Sice:
Board: 
"Allez," said De Meulder's railer sombrely, and left the table.
"I lose the gigantic ones and I win the small ones," lamented De Meulder as he doubled up to 110,000 - nine big blinds. "OK. It's not over 'til it's over."
It has been a bumpy ride today for the man who started the day at the head of the leader board - Bryn Kenny. Kenny, who has had a fantastic year, has just lost two big back to back pots. Here is the action as it went down.
Shander de Vries opened in middle position to 25,000 and Kenny made the three-bet from the Big Blind to 50,000 and de Vries called. The flop was 
and both players checked. The turn was and again both players checked. The river was and Kenny again checked and de Vries made a bet of 46,000. Kenny counted out a raise of around 130,000 and started pushing it over the line.
"Call." Snapped De Vries and turned over a straight 
. Kenny mucked his hand.
Then in the second hand all the chips went in pre flop with Lari Sihvo holding 
and Kenny 
. 
and Kenny was shipping another 234,000 over to Sihvo this time.
