Theo Jorgensen has dropped down to less than 15,000 after he fired 4,000 on the turn of a 
board, only for Michael Benvenuti to check-raise him all in. Jorgensen spent a few minutes fiddling with his chips but eventually released his hand.
"Show the bluff...it's good for the game."
Benvenuti granted him no such wish.

Here are the chip counts after the first two levels, and we have an unlikely chip leader in the shape of Loykia Lypraioy. Lypraioy is the female foe described by Homer in the hand he wrote earlier entitled The Tide is Not Mat-terning

Theo Jorgensen had put a big ol' bet out of 10,500 on the river of a 
into a pot of around 12,000 against Jan Collado and was sitting perfectly still as the German debated his options. Eventually Collado made the call and Jorgensen reluctantly turned over 
- Collado winning with

It's not looking like Arnaud Mattern's day so far, he fired 2,675 on the turn of a 
board against his opponent who check-called. On the 
Mattern's female foe led into him for 2,750 and the Frenchman sighed and called.
"Straight," said she, flipping 
Mattern flashed 
and mucked, he's down to 7,750.

It's time for our first fifteen minute break of the day.
And these names are BIG, at least 20 letters or more.
Gerasimos Deres had fired 1,050 on a flop of 
before Roger Hairabedian min-raised to 2,100. Michail Manolakis then cold-called this bet while the amazingly named Dimitrios Mparmpathanasis opted to fold from the blinds. Deres also called to see the 
on the turn, which didn't seem to change much, though both Deres and Hairabedian both checked across to Manolakis, the Greek player firing out 5,000. Deres folded, as did Hairabedian - the Frenchman flipping 
face up into the muck.
It's an interesting battle on table 14, where there are four Bulgarians involved, including Simeon Naydenov and Jordan Mitrentsov - these two being close friends and have played many pots against each other in multiple tournaments. Pretty much a leveling war here.
Naydenov opened to 300 from the button and Mitrentsov made the call in the big blind to see a 
flop, Mitrentsov then check-raised Naydenov's 500 continuation bet to 1,125 but his compatriot made the call.
Both players then checked the 
turn and the 
river, Mitrentsov showing 
but Naydenov's set holding of 
was more than enough to win him the pot.
