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.

Jason Mercier brought out the old favourite of true poker lovers, the river check-raise. The board had been reading and Mercier had check-raised his opponent's 5,000 bet on the river to a substantial 14,700. Some tanking from said foe occurred but he was unconvinced by the American who can't seem to go a day or two without crushing a tournament somewhere in the world.
The call came and Mercier turned over for the full house, he's up to 42,000.
