Kamal Kumar Choraria is up to about 80,000 after winning a substantial three-way pot against Mario Magliana and Denis Laugier. Laugier had moved all-in against Magliana's initial raise, Choraria had pushed all-in behind to isolate and Magliana called both pushes.
Choraria: 

Laugier: 

Magliana: 

Magliana asked around the table if anyone folded an ace or a king, "Yes," said James Sudworth, "I folded pocket kings."
The board came 



and Choraria nearly trebled up while Laugnier was eliminated and Magliana dropped to 45,000.
PokerStars Team Online member Antonio Tarantino was just on the verge of leaving when arrived. We very strongly suspect that the chips went in on the flop.
Tarantino: 

Valerio Mattera: 

Board: 




"Ciao," said a still cheerful Tarantino as he wandered off and Mattera increased to 75,000. Things aren't going well for other Italian PokerStars representatives either - Team PokerStars Pro Pierpaolo Fabretti has also bitten the dust.
Barry Greenstein is making steady progress over at table 21. He is playing well and his book is going to have to stay where it is (under his seat) for today. Here is an example of the type of hands that he is taking down.
There was a raise from middle position for 1,625 and a three-bet from late position for 3,600. Greenstein was in the small blind and he just called as did the original raiser. So three to the flop:
Flop:

Everyone checked the flop.
Turn: 
Greenstein bet 5,000 and both players folded. He now has 112,000.
One 15 min break, one last one hour level, one mad rush to find out who was the final chip leader then good night sweetheart it times to go.
Level: 9
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 100
Fatima Moreira de Melo has been knocked out after she bet 11,000 then called all-in for 35,000 with 
on a 

flop against Constantino Russo's 
. The
turn and
river changed nothing and our favourite Dutch lady has been eliminated.
Mads Wissing open-shoved for his last 14,800 with 
and got looked up by IPT Leaderboard winner Tamas Lendvai on the button holding 
. Not looking good for Wissing, but the board came down 



to make Wissing two pair and double him up to 32,000.
"Unlucky," Wissing told his opponent. Lendvai silently agreed.
David Vamplew is up to 135,000 after finding 
in the big blind against Tsubasa Manabe's 
on the button. After an inevitable raising war, they were on their backs and Vamplew's hand held on a 



board. Manabe drops a big chunk of chips and is back under 100,000.
