Andrew Teng opened up to 35,000 preflop before Fabrice Soulier made it 86,000 on the button. Teng almost began to gurn a bit before he slid out a 4-bet to 158,000 with around 450,000 behind. Soulier quickly moved all in, Teng thought for about a minute or so and then made the call.

and Soulier was crippled to about 160,000. Teng is up to 1.2 million

Cole Robinson has been eliminated at the hands of Roberto Spada.
We joined the action on the flop with 
smiling at us. Spada was in the big blind and he had checked to Robinson. Robinson counted out a bet of 40,000 and he moved it across the line. The heavily tattooed Spada was chewing like a masticating cow when he check-raised to 92,000 and Robinson made the call.
Turn:
Spada did not check this time. Instead he over-bet the pot with a bet of 250,000 and Robinson snap-called.

| Robinson | |
The river sealed Robinson's fate 
and Spada moved up to 1,630,000
Meanwhile in the €2,000 side event - the biggest side event this season outside of the PCA, with 439 runners and a mouthwatering €250,000 first prize - Mustapha Kanit is in the lead. His name may be unfamiliar to some, but over here Mr. Kanit is big news - he won this year's IPT Nova Gorica and just this week picked up two IPT awards, for Best Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year.
Also still in the running are Vanessa Selbst, Jonathan Duhamel, JP Kelly, Angel Guillen, Alex Gomes, Vadim Markushevski, Nacho Barbero and Marcin Horecki. 150 players remain, of whom 40 are going to get paid.
And that's the last Weather Girls reference for today.
Rainer Emde had reraised all in over the top of Fabrizio Cataldi with and got snap-called by the Uruguayan's . But the poker gods favoured Emde (and his pop song-sounding name) when the board came

A clash of two of the smaller stacks as Georgios Manousos and Team PokerStars Pro Richard Toth moved all in preflop. Manousos having the Hungarian just covered.

Online qualifier Nicola Grieco raised to 42,000 from the small blind but Dario Nittolo shoved for around 430,000 from the big blind - by our reckoning, just enough to cover Grieco. Grieco tanked for some minutes, grinning all the while, and eventually folded, showing a 
. Now it was Nittolo's turn to smile - he showed his opponent 
offsuit and took the pot.
Fabrice Soulier is up to 850,000 after he and David Rubitin saw a 
flop, Rubitin under the gun and Soulier in the cutoff. Rubitin bet out 50,000 but Soulier made it 117,000 to go, eliciting a relatively swift fold. Rubitin dropped to around 700,000, still a little above average.
