Charalampos Kapernopoulos has been our chip leader for the entire day, but we believe he has been replaced by Hauke Heseding in the past few minutes.
Ioannis Taramas raised to 42,000 in the cutoff and Charalampos Kapernopoulos defended his big blind. The flop was
and Kapernopoulos bet 32,000 and Taramas called. The turn of
was checked through and then we saw the
on the river. Kapernopoulos checked and after Taramas bet 40,000 he folded his hand.
Florian Schleps has had a few minutes he'll want to forget in a hurry.
First he opened to 32,000, Dimitris Mpinas moved all in for 230,000 and Rupert Elder reraised all in behind him.
Schleps,"Well, that made my decision easy," folding 
face up.
Elder: 

Mpinas: 

When the board came 



for Mpinas to double up, Schleps made a sound like nails across a chalkboard in sadness.
But it got worse. Oh yes.
Schleps got into a raising war aganst David Elyashar, dominating the Israeli with 
against 
but the board came 



- Schleps has dropped about half his stack.D
Panagiotis Kouloukakos moved all-in for 185,000 in early position and Rupert Elder called on the button. The blinds folded and Elder proudly displayed his pocket aces!

Mario Puccini open shoves for 206,000 in first position and Pim van Riet also moved all-in one seat to his left. Nobody else wanted to join the party and so we had a showdown with Van Riet holding the heavier chip count.
