Michael Tureniec fired out 275 on a river of a 
board only for his opponent to make a chunky raise to 1,750 which caused the Swede to start giggling. He still managed to see the funny side after he called and his opponent turned over 
and continued to laugh after paying his opponent off.
Julien Diana has taken a half-stack hit after Leonid Bilokur got paid all the way down the streets. Diana, muffled to the nostrils in a face-hiding scarf, appears to be multitasking in the form of watching Shrek on his ipad while battling the blinds from mid position. He'd raised preflop (450) and picked up Leonid Bilokur in the small blind along with the big.
The flop came 
and Diana bet 700. Bilokur raised to 2,125 and got a quick call. Bilokur led out on the turn for 6,025, which was also called by Diana.
The river brought the 
and now Bilokur bet 8,625. There was a slightly longer pause before Diana made the call, but make it he did only to muck when shown 
for the mighty quads.
Claus Gradkowski got his whole stack in the middle with a river check-raise when fellow German Vito Branciforte bet 2,500. The board stood 
and the pot held over 6,000 before the river action. Gradkowski waited patiently with his whole 12,475 in front of him before getting a fold.
Per Linde gave it a shot on a 
flop when it checked through three other players to reach him on the cutoff. His 500 found a caller in Alexia Portal, while the others bowed out. She led for 1,100 on the 
turn which was enough to gain a quick fold and a pot.
There was a bet of 3,200 in front of Fabrice Soulier and another of 5,725 in front of Przemysław Piotrowski (We're guessing Soulier had check-raised and been 3-bet) while the board was reading 
.
The Frenchman didn't waste much time in calling but mucked when he was shown the unlikely for a turned full house.
Players are heading out on their first 15 minute break of the day - although with the tables this tight, it might take them that long just to get out of the room.
Back soon!
