Johan van Til raised to 500 under the gun, and picked up two callers - Ivan Demidov in the hijack, and the button. The flop came 
, and van Til bet 1,300. Demidov called, and the button folded. It went check-check on the 
turn and check-check again on the 
river. For the second time today, Demidov was shown 
after turn and river checks. Johan's jacks were good enough to take the pot.

We found Oleksii Zharko checking an 
flop to Frank Kasbergen, who bet. Zharko now check-raised, Kasbergen called, and they were faced with a turn.
The turn was the 
and Zharko checked again. The bet from Kasbergen was 5,200, and after a long period of private deliberation, Zharko called.
The river was the 
and this time Zharko bet out, to the tune of 7,500. Now it was Kasbergen's turn to dwell up. After some time, he called for around half his remaining stack, and then swiftly mucked when Zharko turned over 
for a rivered flush to an impressed, "Wow," from another player at the table.
The fortunate Zharko picked up the hefty pot to put him on an extremely healthy 55,000. Kasbergen was crippled to 7,000.
It looked as though Arnaud Mattern had got into a reraised pot preflop with Philipp Gruissem, Mattern had fired out 2,000 into a pot of 3,100 on a flop of 
.
The German thought for a minute or two before making the check-raise to 5,250 and Mattern instantly folded. The former winner of EPT Prague's stack drops to 25,500.
Nothing is ever boring at Praz Bansi's table. After two limpers, Bansi raised to 900 from the cutoff. The small blind flat called, but out of the big blind, Kimmo Kurko reraised to 3,100. After two quick folds from the limpers, Bansi clicked it back, making it 5,500. The small blind got out of the way, and Kurko called.
Flop: - Kurko checked, and Bansi bet 5,525. Kurko flatted.
Turn: 
- Kurko checked again, and after a minute, Bansi moved all in for 12,575. There wasn't time to count until after the hand, however, because Kurko called in less than a second. "Whoops," Bansi said, not even needing to see his opponent's 
for top set and nut-flush draw to know that he was in trouble. After all, when you min-four bet with 
and then double-barrel bluff, it's tough to beat anything. Well, that is unless...
River: 
- Bansi binked his straight to the shock of Kurko. When the stacks were counted, Kurko was less than 100 chips short and hit the rail with some unhappy muttering. Bansi is up to 49,000.
Former WSOP Main Event finalist Scott Montgomery was left cursing his luck on the river of a 
board. He paid off Cristiano Blanco's 2,300 bet on the end but was simply forced to throw his cards into the muck after Blanco turned over 
for a rivered set. Blanco and Montgomery are both on around 31,000 at this time.
