Elyashar Moving Up
Level 13

David Elyashar had fired out 10,500 on a flop of 
against Ioannis Papathanasioy and Christopher Lastiwka but both players called to see the

Elyashar fired 15,500 this and Papathanasioy folded but Lastiwka gave it some serious thought.

Romanello Removes Rizos
Stelios Rizos raised to 4,500, Roberto Romanello called in the small blind and Koen de Visscher called in the big blind. The flop was 
and Romanello checked to De Visscher who bet 7,700. The original raiser was next to act and he moved all-in for around 35,000. Roberto Romanello had a big decision to make and after several minutes thought he also moved all-in. Romanello had transferred his problem to De Visscher who was also now deep in thought. He eventually folded his hand and we had a showdown with Rizos at risk of elimination.

The turn sealed the fate of Rizos - - and he was sent to the rail.

Herald Storming The Counts
Julian Herold didn't have the greatest of Day 2's but he is starting like the proverbial house on fire at the beginning of Day 3. He is now up to 260,000 after this hand.
We are on the flop of 
and the big blind checks to Zimnan Ziyard in the cutoff who bets 6,700. Our man Herold is seated on the button and he makes the call before the big blind folds. The turn is the and Ziyard decided to slow down with a check but Herold continues to pound the pot hard with a bet of 13,500; Ziman calls. The dealer then places the 
on the felt, which changes nothing, and Ziyard check-calls a 22,700 Herold value bet.

McLean Karr Eliminated
McLean Karr has been eliminated at the hands of Julian Herold. Herold, who was our chip leader back on Day 1a, has had a great start to the day including this elimination.
Zimman Ziyard raised in the cutoff, Juliand Herold three-bet on the button and Mclean Karr moved all-in for around 30,000 in the small blind. Ziyard folded but Herold made the call.
