Palovictory
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Liv Boeree has taken a little hit in a Team PokerStars Pro on Team PokerStars Pro moment, checking and then calling a bet of around 700 from Dag Palovic on an 
flop with around 2,500 in the pot. Both players checked the 
turn and Boeree checked the 
river as well before Palovic bet 2,500. After a short tank, Boeree folded, dipping to 24,000. Palovic is at around 40,000. As we left the table Palovic was spiritedly trying to convince Boeree that he'd had a real hand while declining actually to say what he'd had.

Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Team PokerStars Pro JP Kelly opened preflop to 400 and got called in the big blind by fellow Brit Ashley Mason, together they saw a flop of 
where Mason check-called a bet of 500 from the double bracelet winner. The 
came on the turn and both players cautiously checked to see the on the river. Mason casually bet out 1,000 and Kelly quietly muttered something before folding.
Boiko Done Good
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Big pocket pairs squared off on Table 39 just now, giving Iaroslav Boiko an early double stack. The preflop action between him and Seat 9 had generated a pot of 14,000 already, and when the flop arrived 
Boiko check-raised his opponent's 7,000 bet by a further 12,075 (all in). There followed all the signs of mental torture from his opponent, but he didn't release his 
, losing to Boiko's 
as the turn and river changed nothing.
Still They Come
By the by, Tom Dwan is here! He's seated at a table of impressive pedigree, featuring as it does Joe Cada, Casey Kastle and Tomer Berda. Nevertheless the durrrrster appears to have a rail all his own.

E.C. Game
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Erik Cajelais is up a few thousand, his latest stack addition coming at the expense of EPT Vilamoura champ Toby Lewis. The young Brit had raised to 400 preflop, three-bet by Cajelais to 1,500 from the small blind. Lewis made the call and they saw a 
flop. Check from Cajelais; Lewis bet 2,000. Cajelais called. Both players checked the flop, and on the 
river the Canadian bet out 3,800. A long think later and Lewis finally gave up on the pot.
Some Frenchmen Are Luckier Than Others
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
While one Frenchman is having an awful day (Nic Levi, busto as reported), another one is doing rather better - Arnaud Mattern has already doubled up.
We're not sure of the details, but we understand that the Team PokerStars Pro flopped a flush with and got the lot in against a gentleman holding the bare 
, which failed to hit. Mattern is among our current chip leaders on 60,000.
