Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Pierre Neuville, an official Friend of PokerStars thanks to his ability to satellite into every EPT event for what seems like forever! Despite his title he was not in a friendly mood just now with Yann Dion, taking his chips with glee.
Michael Tureniec opened the betting with a 3,500 raise from early position, one player folded and Dion called in the hijack seat. Neuville also called on the button and Sebastian Ruthenberg came along for the ride in the big blind.
Flop:
- Ruthenberg checked, Tureniec followed suit, Dion bet 6,800 and only Neuville called.
Turn:
- Dion fired another bet, this one a much larger 12,500 and Neuville almost beat him into the pot when he called.
River:
- Dion now checked and quickly mucked as Neuville placed five yellow 5,000 chips on the table.

Viktor Wessmann doubled up to a still shortish 55,000 when his 
held up against Nikolaus Deininger's 
on a 
board. That will be a little over 20 big blinds when players return from break.

Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano is well known for his solid play so it's always surprising to see him check-raise bluff and then give up afterwards.
The board was reading 
and Pagano had check-raised a 13,000 bet to 53,000 against Iulian Ruxandescu, but the Romanian made the call to see the 
river.
Pagano now slowly checked once more and Ruxandescu fired out 85,800 but Pagano folded after a minute or two.
"Show the bluff, show the bluff..." said the Italian but Ruxandescu mucked his cards, "no bluff huh?"
Ruxandescu said, "I never bluff."
Pagano, "Well, that's not true but not this time..."

The cries of, "All in!" echoing around the cardroom earlier in the day, making your keen bloggers kind of dizzy in an effort to keep up, seem to have died off a little of late. And fair enough - in two and a half levels, we've dropped almost half the field. So for the moment, we're having to content ourselves with a few smaller hands.
Iulian Ruxandescu, who finished 92nd at the PCA and was a big stack in the early stages at Copenhagen this year, opened to 4,000, only for the permanently impassive Jack Powell to re-pop to 10,500. It folded back around to Ruxandescu, who commenced eyeing up Powell's stack and pulling faces. "Like 60 or something?" he squinted. Powell remained completely expressionless; he just looks bored when he's at the tables.
Eventually Ruxandescu folded and Powell raked in the pot, up to around 80,000. We imagine that he was fist-pumping on the inside.
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Michael Tureniec opened preflop to 3,500 before Yann Dion made it 8,000 a few seats down, a quick call from the Swede.
The flop was 
and Tureniec check-called a bet of 9,200 from his opponent, the same process happened on the turn with a 21,000 bet. The river was the 
and Tureniec now suddenly moved all-in to cover Dion, but the Canadian shrugged and called.
Tureniec showed 
but Dion must have been wondering how he could only chop - he had flopped the nuts with 
.
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Frenchman Thibaud Zeien has been bleeding chips during this level, something he will need to put a stop to if he wants to at least make it to the money.
His latest loss occurred in a hand against Austrian Kurt Haindl when Zeien raised to 3,300 from the hijack seat and only Haindl, in the big blind, made the call.
The flop came down 
and both players checked. The turn saw the make an appearance and Haindl check-called a 6,100 bet from Zeien. The river was the 
and again Haingl check-called a bet from Zeien but this one was a little larger as it topped the scales at 8,000.
Haindl revealed 
, enough to win the pot as a visibly frustrated Zeien mucked his hand.

: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Bernhard Haider made the opening raise, and must have been delighted when Massimiliano Tricoli Ceglie across the table decided to go all in. He snap-called, and they were on their backs.
Haider: 
Ceglie:
Board: 
Ceglie made a boat, but still couldn't win the hand owing to Haider making a bigger one. He took his leave and Haider moved up to the environs of 80,000.
