In a level we thought we'd lose several players, we've only had a single casualty so far (Jason Mercier).
Kristijonas Andrulis raised to 12,000 then shoved over the top of Joao Vieira's reraise to 32,000, only to be called fairly quickly.
Andrulis flipped 
to Vieira's 
and got up to leave, putting his bag on and he was on his way until the river of a 



board.
Meanwhile Max Greenwood just won a flip against Igor Kurganov with 
against 
on a board that came 



.
