That, dear friends, is the sound of the dinner bell. Players are taking 90 minutes to refuel and refocus, and we are going to join them.
Back in a bit.
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Peter Eastgate has been quietly getting along with business today, especially with the camera glare focused much more heavily on the Germans and in particular Boris Becker (before he was eliminated).
Eastgate opened to 900 preflop and got called by the big blind, firing out 1,300 on a 
flop but was called. The 
turn went check-check but the big blind fired out 2,300 on the river 
.
Eastgate folded instantly he still has 65,000 however.
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Davidi Kitai, who always seems to be there or thereabouts in these deep-stacked events, has been nursing a stack around the starting level so far, won a pot from Fatima Moreira de Melo just now who had earlier proven she's far from easy to shake from a hand out of position. She didn't have to show her hand, apparently, on the river when she looked up her bluffing opponent and he mucked, a level or so ago. This rule does seem to vary, although it's original anti-collusion purpose makes sense.
Anyhow, Kitai bet a flop of 
when de Melo and one other player checked to him (650). She called. They both checked the 
turn but on the 
river when de Melo checked Kitai threw in a pot-dwarfing 5,500. That was too rich for her blood and she folded (but still has 50k).
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Alfonso Amendola, the friendly Italian who bubbled last year's final table here in Berlin, won't be repeating his deep run this year. We're not massively sure what happened, but where he used to be there is now just an empty seat, not a chip in sight.
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Scott Montgomery bet out 9,000 from the big blind position on the river of a 
board, but his opponent on the button raised to 25,000, enough to cover Montgomery. The 2008 WSOP Main Event finalist pulled a face, and in due time he folded.
He's down to just 12,000 now.
Jan Heitmann is on his third comeback of the day and maybe this one will stick, he's up to a rather splendid 90,000 now.
Meanwhile it looks as though Thomas Bichon might now be chip leader, he has 102,000.

Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
EPT Vienna finalist Luca Cainelli faced a 3,225 bet from his opponent on the turn of a 
board - he raised to 16,000, enough to put the other gentleman in. The gentleman called all in, and they would soon be at 35,000 apiece, though moving in opposite directions.
Cainelli: 
Other gentleman: 
River:
Featuring the permanently yo-yoing Sebastian Ruthenberg who has reversed the decline and risen to 70,000 from under 20,000 just a level ago.
