Aleh Plauski fired out 14,200 on the flop of 
against Morten Mortensen, with the latter calling before Plauski moved all-in on the 
turn.
"Call!" said the Dane quickly turning over 
ahead of his opponent's 
, the river was the 
and Plauski was out. Mortensen is over the 300,000 mark.
The board read 
when we arrived; Michael Tureniec was betting out 16,200. To his immediate left Bodo Sbrzesny raised, prompting Tureniec to quietly enquire in a monotone, "How much is it?" It was 41,700 total, and after a little bit of a tank, Tureniec called. Sbrzesny checked his hole cards and they saw the river.
The river was the 
and after another little tank, Tureniec bet out what looked like 80,000. Sbrzesny had what looked like 80,000 left to his name, meaning that he had to make a decision for his tournament life. After a while he folded, giving Tureniec an "I don't think you have it but I'm folding anyway" smile.
Tureniec is up to 365,000.
We found Team PokerStars SportStar Fatima Moreira de Melo betting out 20,000 on the turn of a 
board. On the button, Cristian Tardea made the call.
The river was a dangerous-looking 
, making a straight for anyone with an ace or indeed a six, and a flush for anyone holding two spades. This time they both checked, and de Melo turned over 
for top set. Tardea shrugged and showed her pocket 
, dropping to 250,000 in the process. De Melo's new stack comprises around 270,000 in chips.
James Keys has switched tables once again but maybe using that to his advantage as his opponents will not know his playing style thoroughly yet.
He decided to raise to 5,200 from under the gun with 
and only Konstantin Puchkov in the hijack seat made the call. A flop of 
saw both players check but Keys came out betting 7,200 on the arrival of the on the turn.
Neither player seemed too impressed to see the on the river and they both checked their option. When Keys revealed his hand Puchkov smiled, nodded and mucked his cards. The man who finished third at EPT Barcelona last year needs to stop calling off chips if he is to put in a repeat performance.
Francisco Torres was one of the shorter stacks anyway, returning from dinner on 44,000. But when we found him, he was calling all in for just 600 to a 5,500 raise from Andreas Wiese, stacking his one T500 chip and one T100 chip on top of his tiny toy train and pushing them across the line. A few seats to his left, Jan Wilken reshoved for around 48,000. Wiese folded and Torres was looking to quintuple up, when you factor in the blinds and antes.
Torres: 
Wilken: 
Flop: 
! Torres cheered as he hit two pair.
Turn:
River: making Wilken a straight and dashing Torres' comeback hopes.
Jonathan Van Fleet has been knocked out after understandably getting his stack in with 
against Cristian Tardea's 
on a flop of 
. No miracle king on the turn or river and Tardea stack now approaches the 420,000 mark.
Nicolo Calia has just eliminated Peter Nordin, the Swede holding on a 
board which was very much no good when Calia turned over 
for flopped quads.
Bernhard Haider pushed to a raise from Rudolf Koster, and was most unhappy to see that he smacked his 
into Koster's . The rockets duly held on the 
board and Haider had his hide tanned - he exited the tournament area, and Koster moved on up to 205,000.
The board read 
when we arrived and Alex Kravchenko in the small blind was betting out 21,500. Dominique Franchi made the call, and they saw the turn.
The turn was a fourth heart, the . Kravchenko checked this time, and soon faced a bet of around 35,000 from Franchi. This proved too much for Al Krav, who folded. Franchi showed him a relatively nothing-y 
for third pair and took the pot. Amazingly, Kravchenko laughed and looked genuinely cheerful about all of this.
Franchi: 165,000
Kravchenko: 120,000
A huge hand that totalled 175,000 chips has just taken place over on Table 8, with Roland Norietis scooping the lot.
The super-aggressive Vladimir Geshkenbein opened the betting with a raise to 5,500 but next to act was Iulian Ruxandescu who three-bet to 13,600. Two players folded and Norietis flat called. Geshkenbein looked a little puzzled by the action but called anyway!
Flop:
- Geshkenbein checked, Ruxandescu bet 14,500 and both Norietis and Geshkenbein called to create an already substantial pot.
Turn: - Geshkenbein checked, Ruxandescu continued his aggression with a 16,600 bet, which Norietis raised all in for 45,200 in total, too much for Geshkenbein call and he folded.
Ruxandescu looked quite pained as he called and he looked gutted as he discovered his had been cracked by
