Salvatore Bonavena has hit the rail. He picked up big slick and moved in over the top of a Salman Behbehani raise for 68k total. Not that Behbehani asked for a countdown - he instacalled and flipped over 
at the same second.
Bonavena shrugged, knowing his 
was likely to be his last hand. Some perverse table mates called for 'ten of hearts' when the flop came 
, but instead they got 
.
Behbehani is up to 270,000.
Level: 14
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 300
We're now on a 90 minute break for dinner.
Salman Behbehani said, "Sh*t," without a trace of anger in his voice as he knew he'd made a bad move shoving with an ace-and-a-face over the top of a preflop three-bet from Hans Vogl, who snapped him with 
. The kings made a set for good measure and a full double put Vogl back in the hunt with over 80,000.
Behbehani still has over 100,000.
Kevin Stani has enjoyed a virtual double up to 90,000 - his 
in the big blind came good against his opponent's 
when the board came down 
. It took a while to assess the stacks but Stani's opponent was indeed covered, and he took his leave.
After an opening raise from early position to 5,400, Jan Heitmann flat-called in late position before the small blind reraised all-in for 53,200. The original raiser tanked for several minutes, finally making the call. Heitmann, having had his own time to decide what to do, instantly moved all-in for a couple of thousand more resulting in a small 4,200 side pot.
Original raiser: 
Heitmann: 
Small blind: 
"Triple up!" said an enthusiastic Heitmann, "well...maybe."
The flop came down 
helping no-one and another player on the table shouted "Six of clubs!" which elicited a laugh from the German PokerStars Team Pro.
The turn was the and Heitmann suddenly took the lead which he held on the river for a 170,000 pot.
"I've been down to less than 6,000 five times in this tournament...It must be destiny...or it's something very cruel..."
Fabrizio Ascari has been knocked out which means the relative state of noise in the tournament area has gone from "Rock concert" setting to "Village library" setting.

Victoriya Taranova has doubled through to around 130,000 after a bloated preflop pot got out of hand on a 
flop. The big blind, who'd three-bet her pre, checked, and she bet 15,000. He used his entire timebank and stared at her while she sat motionless. Finally he made his decision and announced, "All in."
She snap-called and showed 
while his 
had sunk far behind. She paired her ten for good measure and doubled up with a quiet fistpump.
