Jesus Cortes Lizano Doubles Up Through Candido Goncalves
Jesus Cortes Lizano opened up the action with a raise to 115,000 and Candido Goncalves called in the Small Blind. Shander De Vries folded in the Big Blind and the two of them saw a flop together.
The flop was 
and Lizano checked and Goncalves bet 200,000. Lizano then check raised all-in.
"Count!" Shouted Goncalves as he rose to his feet and went for a little walk about.
"950,000." The Dealer told Goncalves.
"Call!" Shouted Goncalves and slammed his cards onto the table - 
.
Lizano turned over 
.
It seemed we were destined for a split pot.
The turn was the 
and then the river was 
and the crowd went wild. Lizano had made a straight to take a million chips from Goncalves and put him right back into the race.
Luis Rufas Eliminated in 10th Place (€50,000)
It looked as though Konstantin Puchkov had opened for 200,000 and Luis Rufas had made it 570,000 preflop, but by the time Puchkov went all in and Rufas called (sorry, it really is incredibly hard to work out what's going on up there on the TV table) they were looking at a 
flop.
Rufas: 
for top pair and a flush draw
Puchkov: for an overpair
Turn: 
, suddenly putting Rufas in the lead with two pair.
River: Boom! 
making Puchkov a set of aces and the winning hand.
We thought for a while that Rufas was out, but it turned out that he had change - he'd covered Puchkov by just 10,000. The 10,000 went in the next hand, Giuseppe Pantaleo raised which successfully got rid of everyone else, and they were on their backs for Rufas' tournament life.
Rufas: 
Pantaleo:

Our remaining nine players have redrawn for the official nine-handed final table. Please stand by.
Pantaleo Lurches Back into Lead with Straight Flush
Up on the feature table (thank you to the conglomerate of poker media representatives who helped us piece it all together from the extremely sketchy view we get of the action here in the press room), Giuseppe Pantaleo has snatched back the chip lead from Kent Lundmark.
Three players were involved in the pot and they all checked the 
flop. The turn was the 
and Luis Rufas bet. Georgios Skotadis folded, but Pantaleo raised to 360,000. Rufas flat-called.
The river was the 
and Rufas check-called 880,000, only for Pantaleo to show the for the straight flush. Rufas apparently said that he had the

Gonçalves and De Vries Continue To Fight It Out
Candido Gonçalves and Shander De Vries continue to butt heads ont he outer table, with Dutchman De Vries coming away the victor from this last battle.
In the hand Gonçalves made it 115,000 to play and De Vries called,then both players checked the 
flop. The turn was the , Gonçalves bet 105,000 and De Vries snap-called.
The river was the 
, which prompted a check from Gonçalves, a very quick bet of 150,000 from De Vries and an even quicker fold from his opponent.
Gonçalves showed he was making a play with 
The Stealing Zone
We all know that the cut-off and the button are prime stealing zones and experienced players like Giuseppe Pantaleo and Kent Lundmark understand this more this most.
Pantaleo opens the action up from the cut off to 85,000 and Lundmark makes the three-bet to 245,000 from the Button and the Blinds fold.
Pantaleo makes the four bet to 450,000 and after a brief pause Lundmark makes the five bet shove forcing the fold from Pantaleo.
No cards but good cards all the same.
News from the Outer Table
There hasn't been an awful lot to report on the outer table so far this level - with the stacks so deep, and the money jumps now so big, the prevailing atmosphere seems to be one of wariness. The five-big-blind raises of yesteryear have now been replaced by a standard minimum-plus-5k raise.
One player who has profited slightly so far, though, is Thor Stang. He raised to the aforementioned 105,000 from the small blind, and got a call from Francisco Notaro in the big. Both players checked the 
flop and they saw a 
turn, on which Stang bet out 125,000. Notaro gave it some thought and made the call; but when Stang bet out what looked like another 125,000 on the 
river, Notaro snap-folded.
Stang - 1.3 million
Notaro - 2.5 million

In other outer table news, Jesus Cortes Lizano shoved from the small blind for around 800,000 when it folded around to him, but big blind Candido Goncalves wasn't interested and folded.
