Andrew Li outkicked Georges Dib preflop with 
to 
, and the door swung shut on the 

flop. The latch clicked home on the
turn and Li's stack grows higher by 100k.
2011 European Poker Tour Grand Final Madrid
Caught from the 

flop, multiway, chips fairly flew into the middle when small blind Eric Gambararo shoved, big blind Jose De La Guardia reshoved for more than double and late position Ran Azor followed them in after a bit of a think.
Gambararo: 

De La Guardia: 

Azor: 

Azor's two pair held over the 
turn and river, bringing a fistpump stand-up, "Yesssss!" from the suddenly above-averagely stacked Israeli.
James Bord opened to 11,500 preflop and Daniel Weinman made it 24,500 from the cutoff.
"All in," said Bord. Weiman got a count which was just over the 100,000 mark before he made the call.
Bord: 

Weinman: 

There was a queen on the 

flop and Bord got out of his seat before the
turn was even dealt, leaning on the back his chair he dispassionately waited for the coup de grâce which came on the
river.
The players are dropping incredibly fast today, we can't remember it ever going this quick before.
Pedro Javier Piazuelo Ferrero opened to 11,500 from the button and Emil Matsson moved all in from the big blind, a shrug and "I call" from the Spaniard.
Ferrero: 

Matsson: 

The board came 



- Ferrero started with about 70,000 today and he's now over the 250,000 mark.
Tamas Lendavai raised to 15,500 in the small blind and then snap-called when Ruben Velasco moved all in from the big blind. Lendavai turning over 
to Velasco's meagre 
, the board came 



and the Hungarian doubled up.
Georges Yazbeck has received a double up (to 200,000) after flopping a set of sevens on the button, turning a full house, and having Hugo Lemaire with aces in the cutoff. Lemaire had check-called Yazbeck's 12,000 on the 


turn, and called instantly when Lemaire set him in on the
river. Yazbeck showed and Lemaire gave the table a flash of the useless high pair.
The short stack success story of last night - Jean-Noel Thorel, who bubble dodged the very last hand of the sixth level picking up kings with 10bb - is no more. Now with 100,000+ in front of him, Thorel saw a heads up flop of 

with Simon Higgins. Higgins led 12,000 and Thorel made it 25,000. Quickly Higgins set him all in and he snap-called.
Higgins: 

Thorel: 

Turn: 
River: 
Thorel made a sound like, "Achhh," and took his leave while the British online qualifier sits with a stack of 650,000. Addressing Kristoffer Thorsson, he said, "You're the best player on this table - did you expect when he snap called he had ace-nine?"
"No," said Thorsson.
After cracking aces with ace king on Day 1, then making quads against the nut full house on day 2, we were wondering what Shander de Vries had in store for us today on Day 3.
"Royal flush?" he said hopefully as he began to stack his now unbagged chips. It did not take long for him to get involved in the action...
The Dutchman had raise to 10,000 preflop with Pierre Neuville moving all in for 115,000 behind, a quick recheck of the cards and de Vries called with 
only to find himself dominated by the Belgian's 
. The flop came 

and Neuville did a weird little dance and although the
turn brought chop outs, the river was the
and the latter doubled up to about 240,000.
Jason Grad, coming back as one of several stacks worryingly similar to the Day 1 starting stack of 30,000, has douhled through taking a punt with 
, called by Lucien Cohen with 
. He made a straight on the board and now has around half average.
Cohen, meanwhile, simply restocked his chip fridge by busting Raymond Wu moments later, raising on the button with 
and snapcalling when Wu shoved on the big blind for 40,000. Wu missed the 



board with his 
and takes a mincash - of a respectable €15,000.
On the other side of the room, Jeffrey Hakim made a quiet exit, pitting 
against Raemon Sluiter's 
. 



was the board - Hakim is 102nd.
Ole Kristian [Removed:332] has started as he clearly means to go on, after Torsten Brinkmann raised to 11,000 on the button the young Norwegian immediately made it 30,000 from the big blind and Brinkmann quickly folded.
