Kristoffer Thorsson v Pascal Lefrancois
There is a wonderful little battle going on between Kristoffer Thorsson and Pascal Lefrancois. Lefrancois has position on Thorsson but the Swede seems to be using his larger stack as leverage to so far win the little skirmishes they have been having. Here is a good example of the action between the two.
Vladislav Varlashin opens the action to 17,000 and Thorsson makes the call on the button before Lefrancois squeezes from the Small Blind with a bet of 44,000. Varlashin folds and Thorsson calls. The flop is 
and Lefrancois bets 42,000 and Thorsson calls. The turn is 
and Lefrancois thinks for a bit before counting out a bet of 63,000. Thorsson moves all-in and is forces the fold from Lefrancois.
Lefrancois ~273,000
Thorsson ~770,000
De Meulder Doubles Up Through Vaizman
Team PokerStars Pro, Matthias De Meulder has just seen his stack swell to 433,000 when his kings held up against the ace-queen of Moshe Vaizman.
We only saw the final board reading 
with the television cameras taking shots of De Meulder's 
but Mr De Meulder informed us that his opponent had four-bet shoved with 
and the Belgian snapped him off.
Moshe Vaizman's stack has now been decimated and stands at a paltry 61,000
Atanas On The Attack
Bulgarian, Atanas Gueorguiev has just doubled up to around the 200,000 chip mark to give himself some more breathing room.
The previous hand he had raised preflop from the cutoff but had to fold when Federico Cipollini moved all-in over the top of him but this time he was the one three-bet shoving, doing so when Roman Makhlin raised from late position.
Gueorguiev: 
Makhlin: 
The board ran out 
and Gueorguiev doubled up. Makhlin did not seem too bothered by the fact he had just lost a hand, maybe because he still has over one million chips
Kristoffer Thorsson v Pascal Lefrancois: Round 2
Kristoffer Thorsson and Pascal Lefrancois have been in a constant battle over the last level and have created some massive pots in the process.
The latest one saw Lefrancois all in with 
, which was in great shape against Thorsson's
Flop: 
- Lefrancois' Big Slick is still in the lead
Turn: 
- Both players pair their ace but the Canadian's king kicker was still best
River: 
- The two of diamonds on the river ends the hand, sees Thorsson drop to 374,500 and Lefrancois move up to 359,000
No Love for Schactel
Luis Rufas opened for 18,500 on the button and Marc Naalden flat-called from the small blind. Isaac Schachtel now shoved from the big blind for around 150,000, prompting a long dwell but ultimately a fold from Rufas. Naalden, though, called in an instant, and they were on their proverbial backs.
Schactel: 
Naalden: 
Mr. Schactel is out of the running. Naalden, meanwhile, is up to a comfortable 570,000.
George Tsolakos Eliminated
Two PokerStars Online Qualifiers have just butted heads with George Tsolakos coming off second best.
Tsolakos opened with a raise of 17,000 and Thorsson three-bet to 65,000 and Tsolakos moved all-in for 232,500 and Thorsson immediately called.
Tsolakos: 
Thorsson: 
The board did not help Tsolakos as it ran out 
and he was eliminated. Thorsson moves back up to 630,000 after his little set back against Lefrancois and the table has just broke.
Brent Courson Doubles Up Through Nitsche
Brent Courson has doubled up when he found one of his three outs after all the money went in pre flop. Courson was holding 
and Dominik Nitsche had pocket kings.
The dealer found Courson an Ace on the flop and the turn and 
river was no help to Nitsche.
Thor Hammered by Linde
Team PokerStars Pro Leo Fernandez opened with a raise to 25,500 in the cut off and Thor Stang three-bet on the button to 47,000. The small blind folded and Per Linde shoved from the big blind. Fernandez stared at Stang for a very long time before folding and the decision was on Stang and it was for his tournament life. After a long time Stang said, "I cannot believe I am folding this hand." Then folded. Linde did not show.
Berda Flies the Nest
Luis Rufas raised and Tomer Berda called from the button, only to face a shove from Filippo Marcolini in the small blind for 168,000 more. Rufas folded, but Berda disappeared into the tank for a good long while before calling all in.
He was only just covered, and only just pipped.
Berda:
Marcolini: 
Board: a diamond-tastic 
Berda hit the rail, and Marcolini is up to 350,000.
