Cuello Jorge Mariano raised to 105,000 and was called by Martin Jacobson in the cutoff and Max Heinzelmann on the button.
The flop was 
and Mariano bet 185,000, Jacobson folded but Heinzelmann threw out the call.
The 
came on the turn and Mariano now bet 250,000 before the German made it a huge 780,000 to play. Mariano thought briefly but folded and Heinzelmann is looking hard to beat on this outer table.
Fabrice Soulier raised to 110,000 preflop, called by Max Heinzelmann in the big blind. Both players checked the 
flop. The 
turn brought no action either, but on the 
river Soulier bet 125,000 when Heinzelmann checked a third time. He was immediately called. He showed 
for top pair and won the pot with minimal fuss.
Another tiny pot from the outer table, as Cuello Jorge Mariano raised preflop and got calls from Max Heinzelmann in the small blind and Vadzim Kursevich in the big. Heinzelmann checked the 
flop before calling 130,000 from Kursevich (Mariano folded), and the two of them then checked down the 
turn and 
river. Heinzelmann turned over 
for two pair, sixes and fives - and Kursevich turned over 
for the same two pair, kicker on the board. Chop it up.
Action has slowed down somewhat and we're seeing smaller pots played out. Perhaps it's got something to do with the 11 remaining runners' proximity to the final table. Either way, we've got no biggies to report since Joep van den Bijgaart's quads. The best we can do right now is a small pot that's made Fabrice Soulier's stack look a little more comfortable.
Soulier raised to 115,000 in the cutoff and Max Heinzelmann called in the big blind to see a flop. It came down and they both checked, proceeding directly to the 
turn. Heinzelmann bet out 75,000 which Soulier called, and they got to see the river.
Both players reverted to checking on the [3h river and Heinzelmann turned over a nothing-y with a matter-of-fact shrug. Soulier's 
for a pair of sixes was good to take the pot, and he's at 1.2 million now. Heinzelmann barely felt the loss of those few chips, and remains in second place on 3.35 million.
PokerStars Team Pro Joep van den Bijgaart pushed all-in preflop for his last half million chips and Ben Wilinofsky who has blitzed the feature table all day, made the call.
Van den Bijgaart: 
Wilinofsky: 
The Dutchman looked nervous but Wilinofsky hugged him and laughed, "Come on, smile..."
Flop: 
Van den Bijgaart smiled.
The turn and 
river were quickly dealt and Van den Bijgaart doubled to 1.14 million in chips. It's hardly a drop in the ocean of Wilinofsky's stack however, he's still only just under 6 million.
Now playing both the €10k side event (in the breaks) and the last two tables of the Main Event, young Mr. Andrulis (used to High Roller-type victories) had a lot on his plate. He doesn't have to worry about reaching the EPT final now, however, as he's out of that one.
He simply moved all-in in mid-position for his whole ~800,000 stack. Martin Jacobson re-raised all in and the blinds folded.

| Jacobson |   |
This race went right to the finish line:
......
I'm almost positive this giant race brought forth the query, "What are you doing in your head?" from Jacobson. Andrulis replied, "That's my thing." And calmly walked away.

Another level down, another 15 minutes in the hallway.
Back soon.
Max Heinzelmann is acting like the Reaper towards his table, he's raising more pots than anyone else and was just paid off by Cuello Jorge Mariano after the German bet 86,000 on the turn of a 
board and then another 151,000 on the river.
Mariano called both these bets but then mucked when Heinzelmann turned over for top pair.
