Lucille Cailly played a hand aggressively and managed to fold out one pre flop and one on the turn. Toby Lewis opened to 700 from early position before Cailly three-bet to 2,000 from the next seat. Terje Augdal called from the button but Lewis made a considered looking fold. Cailly continued for 2,000 on the flop and 3,900 on the turn. Augdal folded to the second bet.
On the secondary feature table Lars Garp managed to manoeuvre Salvatore Bonavena off a hand on the river. The Team PokerStars Pro raised to 700 from the cut-off and bet 1,200 on the flop. Garp called from the small blind and check-called the c-bet. Both checked the turn and Garp led for 2,300 on the river. Fold.
Daniel Negreanu was hot and bothered at his first table, and he's even more so now. Some ice wrapped in napkins is helping cool his brow under the secondary feature lights.

Fresh off his €215,100 5th place finish in the €50,000 Super High Roller, Mike "Timex" McDonald is looking good in the Main Event as well. He opened for 600 in the early position and Frenchman Sebastien Clot three-bet to 2,600 on the button. Action folded back to McDonald and he made the call.

Since July, Jesse Sylvia has been carrying the World Series of Poker Main Event chip lead as a part of this year's October Nine. Traditionally, many of the WSOP finalist have traveled to play the European circuit in the off months, and this year's chip leader is no exception.
Sylvia is in today's field and looking to keep his skills sharp until October. At the same time, he's looking to capture an EPT title and make his name known on both sides of the Atlantic.

Hand #4: After Elisar Serbu raised to 500, Sylvia called from the small blind and it was heads-up action to the flop. Sylvia took the initiative and led out for 750, Serbu called, and then both players checked the turn and river. Sylvia tabled , but it was no good against Serbu's .
Hand #5: Action folded to Sylvia on the button and he folded his hand.
Hand #6: A player in middle position raised to 450 and Sylvia folded from the cutoff.
Hand #7: Action folded to Sylvia in the hijack and he raised to 500, which Riccardo Marchini called from the small blind. Both players proceeded to check the flop and turn. When the peeled off on the river, Marchini led out for 1,000, Sylvia raised to 3,600, Marchini made it 10,000 to go, and Sylvia moved all in.

Michael Mizrachi must like the limelight. He joined the TV table, that now includes PokerStars' Fatima Moreira de Melo and Jude Ainsworth, with a little over 2,000 chips and managed to double twice to 8,425.
