Lacay Needs No Lackey
Ludovic Lacay has rocketed up to 83,000 after he raised a 9,000 river bet on a 
board to a chunky looking 27,700. His opponent sighed, muttering "runner-runner..." before throwing in the call.
Lacay turned over 
for a straight and a flush both of which were beating his opponent's 
which had flopped a set only to come unstuck at the end.

Poker Gods Helpp Those Who Helpp Themselves
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Juha Helppi has busted Anton Ionel, who managed to see a three-way flop somehow with 
. When Helppi led out, Ionel moved all-in and was quickly called by Helppi alone. The flop was 
or may have been 
, but the outcome was the same - Juha showed 
which turned into a bigger house as the turn and river came 
. The table gave a smirk and a wince at the same time.
Nasr's Mission
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
[Removed:197] continues to reside among the upper echelons of the chip leader group. He isolated a limper preflop from the small blind with a 1,100 raise but then checked a 
board all the way to the river where he suddenly spurred into life with a 2,500 almost pot-sized bet.
The limper rechecked his cards briefly but then sighed and gave up. [Removed:198] is still on around the 90,000 mark.
Lewis Loses
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
The chip accumulation of young Brit Toby Lewis has been halted by doubling through his neighbour (a 19k loss in total). All in preflop in a button vs. small blind confrontation, Lewis gave the all-in shorter stack a spin with 
against 
. The board brought a pair for Lewis but a set for his opponent - 
.

No Carmine Trying
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
A big increase in wealth for Garlef Rinne just now. The beady eyes of the press were attracted by the size of the river bet, into a pot bristling with yellow 5k chips - 24,000 from Carmine Avolio. The board was 
. Rinne thought for a while before counting out the call (over four fifths of his stack, but only half of Avolio's remaining chips) and throwing it in.
Avolio: 
Rinne: . Second nuts good against ace-high.
