Mark Dalimore bet 8,000 at an flop, and Clayton Mozdzen flatted. Another player called all in for his last four black T100 chips. After several minutes of arguing over how much was in the side pot, it was time for the turn. It came the , and Dalimore checked. Mozdzen moved all in, and Dalimore instantly folded. Time for showdown. Mozdzen held a pair of jacks, and the super shorty was at risk with . He didn't hit with the on the river, and Mozdzen picked up the knockout and a pot big enough to build him to 97,000.
Ivan Demidov was facing a 10,000 bet on a flop from Martin Saar. The Russian though made the call and both then checked the turn to see a river. Now Saar snap-bet 15,000 and Demidov stretched his arms in the air letting out a loud sigh before making a quick call.
Saar didn't want to show. Neither did Demidov, he wanted to see Saar's cards. Saar still didn't want to show. Demidov did nothing. Finally the dealer said, "Showdown!" and got Saar to turn over a very airy to which Demidov responded by showing for two pair.
Demidov has about 160,000 while Saar is only on 35,000
Dutch Gus Hansen lookalikey Steven van Zadelhoff opened for 4,000 in early position only for Donelius Kudulis to shove for around 12,000 from mid position. Voitto Rintala, the most rockstar-ish man in the room, reshoved from the small blind, van Zadelhoff folded, and the two shovers were on their backs.

Board: a no-nonsense
Kudulis more than doubled, while Rintala's stack shrunk. They are on 30,000 apiece after that.
Rob Sherwood has dropped down to 40,000 after his was cracked by all-in push from Kenny Hallaert. The latter caught two pair with on a to double up to 46,000.
Mikhail Mazunin made it 4,000 under the gun and it folded around to Arnaud Mattern in the cutoff who made it 11,200 to go. Back to Muzunin, who thought about it very briefly before announcing, "I'm all in," with a flourish of his hand.
"I call," announced Mattern without so much as a pause for breath.

Mattern's cowboys held up, and he lassoed himself a brand new 187,000 stack. Mazunin was left with a still very manageable 115,000.
Didier Erb just jumped up to 85,000 after he found right at the moment that Slobodan Bjelobrk picked up with the board running out .
Meanwhile, Domenico Ficarra just got very excited and banged the table after his held up against Andrey Mitlyansky's when the latter saw a backdoor flushdraw whiffed on a board.
Raymi Sanchez Thorn raised to 3,700 from the cutoff, but Jeff Sarwer made it 10,500 to go from the small blind. Back to Thorn, who now went all in to cover Sarwer's remaining 50,000.
Sarwer paused for a moment. "Are you from Italy?" he asked.
"No," replied Thorn.
"Romania?" Sarwer tried again.
"No."
"Hey, what have you got against people from Italy?" chuckled Italian tablemate Attilio Donato.
"No, nothing," said Sarwer quickly. He paused again. "Maybe Bulgaria?"
Anyway, Sarwer eventually folded, and Thorn, who we understand is from Sweden, took the pot.
