Sebastian Ruthenberg check-called a bet of 3,425 on the turn of a board against Nikov Georgiev. The German then checked the river and Georgiev bet 10,250, Ruthenberg sighed a little, perhaps hoping that Georgiev would've bet smaller.
Nevertheless, Ruthenberg made the call and Georgiev flipped for the turned straight and Ruthenberg mucked.

Mike "Da Bookie" Hill was having a great festival so far with two cashes including in the Estrelles main event. We write "was" as he's out of the EPT main event.
We caught up with him in the corridor and he informed us that he ran pocket aces into an opponent's pocket queens on a queen high flop. Ouch!

Five players entered the flop including Team PokerStars Pro Matthias De Meulder in the hijack position and Barny Boatman in the big blind.
The dealer opened and Boatman bet 600. Carlos Lopez and Matthias De Meulder both folded and Erik Von Buxhoeveden called on the button as well as did Thomas Brauner in the small blind.
All three checked the on the turn as well as on the river. Boatman showed for a two pair which was good enough for the win as the other two players mucked.
