Domantas Klimciauskas bet what looked like 60,000 on the turn of an 
board, only to face a raise to 120,000 from online qualifier Simon Higgins. After a little pause, Klimciauskas called.
They saw a 
river and this time Klimciauskas checked. Higgins bet another 120,000, driving Klimciauskas into the tank for some time. When he emerged it was to fold, dropping to a still very respectable 730,000 in the process. Higgins showed him 
. He is now up to 1.6 million.
Another 15 minutes of rest time, then back to the busting. It's going full speed ahead today, and the start of day stacks are bearing little relation to them now! Full counts shortly.
Level: 19
Blinds: 5,000/10,000

Surinder Sunar opened to 21,000 preflop and Antonio Ferreira reraised all in for 148,000.
Sunar fiddled with his chips for a while and then finally called with

The board came 
, Sunar flopping the nut straight to bust the Portuguese player.
Tamas Lendavai has doubled up, flopping a set with on a 
board vs. Ted Forrest holding . The fives held on the turn and river, giving Lendavai over 400,000 while knocking Forrest down to a tenth that stack!
That middle table has seen some awesome flops today. Ted Forrest, with 38,000 only, was all in preflop with on the cutoff (it had folded to him) and button Erik van den Berg rehoved with 
. The blinds folded, and they ran the board favourably for the smaller pair: 
.......
Van den Berg's in a bit of trouble himself now, with 175,000 remaining.
Ivan Freitez opened to 26,000 UTG, Markus Ristola quickly reraised from UTG+1 to 49,000 and it didn't take long for Victor Ramdin to cold 4-bet to 100,000 with about 350,000 behind.
It was passed back to Freitez who quickly moved all in to cover, Ristola snap-folded but Ramdin tanked...
"You've got it?...It's hard to fold this...I don't think it's possible..."
After several minutes, Ramdin asked that old chesnut, "Will you show if I fold?"
"I will show if you show," replied Freitez. Ramdin declared he had folded and Freitez turned over , Ramdin put his cards into the muck and everyone asked if he had kings. The Team PokerStars Pro reconsidered and withdrew his 
from the muck to admit that yes, he had made a mistake in folding.
