Sarah Grant sits down with Full Tilt Pro Andrew Lichtenberger and Greg Merson to find out what is politically correct and also what is happening to online players in America.

Litterio Pirrotta shoved from the cutoff and it folded around to Ankush Mandavia in the big blind who had a serious decision to make - he only just had Pirrotta covered. Eventually he made the call, and it was a decision that would work out well for him.
Pirrotta: 
Mandavia: 
It was looking good for a chop, but the board came down 
to eliminate the Italian. Mandavia high-fived a variety of railers. "It wasn't an easy call to make," he admitted.
The tables broke for just a second to move down to two. Sarah Grant snuck in to get the info on the up and down level so far for PokerStars Pro Alex Gomes.
We've just had a short break while a table is broken, there's still 11 minutes until the level goes up and we'll be playing straight through.

Short stacked Domantas Klimciauskas raised when it folded to him in the small blind (simply pushing out a 100k stack to augment his 12,000 small blind), and Eugene Yanayt set him all in (c.400,000). He shrug-called, making a stand with the unfortunately-not-even-fully-l ive 
. Yanayt showed 
, which held as the board emerged 
.
Alessandro Limblici thought he was in the big blind and accidentally limped under the gun, Andrey Danilyuk raised to 61,000 and Limblici decided that he may as well call the raise now as well.
The flop came 
and the Italian checked it across to Danilyuk - who bet 72,000. Limblici moved all in and got pretty quick fold from his opponent.
Limblici picked up the next pot as well, calling a raise in the big blind with 
against Torsten Brinkmann's UTG raise. Both players checked the 
flop before Limblici check-called a 65,000 on the turn, the 
river was checked down and Limblici had rivered Brinkmann's .
Team PokerStars Pro Dag Palovic has doubled up through his teammate Alex Gomes, we did not see the board (it occured on the feature table) but Palovic had 
against Gomes' 
and held to double to about the half million mark.
