Roberto Romanello is back for one last side event before the PoY goes to the wire in Monaco… which you can read on the PokerStars Blog.
Just as we were posting the last update on the €10,000 High Roller, the 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $100,000 Super High Roller champion and Team PokerStars Pro Viktor “Isildur1” Blom from Sweden was eliminated in seventh place. He earned €29,700 and everyone received a pay jump to €33,000.
Since the players have returned from their break with few hands making it to the flop. We thought there would have been some action when the rank amateur [Removed:284] opened to 250,000 with 
but none of his opponents had anything to play back at him with.
At the moment the cards are just not matching up and causing battles, hopefully that will change shortly.
From under the gun and holding 
Davidi Kitai opened to 235,000 and Mario Puccini decided to make the call with 
in the button. Andrew Chen looked down and found 
in the hole and tried his luck with squeeze to 760,000.
Kitai stared down Chen for a few moments before reaching for a couple of towers of yellow chips totalling 1,385,000, a rare four-bet. This folded out Puccini and Chen made the correct fold.
From under the gun, Andrew Chen raised to 210,000 with the 
. [Removed:284] called with the 
from the big blind and the flop came down 
. [Removed:287] check-raised all in after Chen bet 235,000 and took down the pot.
Andrew Chen took down a very nice pot to move up into second on the leader board.
Mario Puccini opened to 200,000 from under the gun and was called by Chen and Davidi Kitai in the blinds en route to a 
flop.
Kitai led for 325,000 and both players called to the turn. Here it was Puccini who bet, for 650,000. Chen called but Kitai folded king-eight.
The river was 
and Chen led out for 625,000 with 
. Puccini tanked and folded 
.

[Removed:284] has just doubled through Mario Puccini to leave the latter with 23 big blind.
Puccini opened to 225,000 first in from the small blind and [Removed:287] called from the big blind. The dealer put out the 
flop and Puccini fired a continuation bet of 200,000 only to see [Removed:287] raise all in for 1,800,000! Puccini made the call but he stood up from his seat and winced when he saw his opponent's holding.
Puccini: 
[Removed:287]: 
[Removed:287]'s pair and flush draw meant it was a 50/50 situation but it was soon 100/0 in favour of [Removed:287] because the turn was the . The meaningless 
landed on the river and [Removed:287] flew up the chip counts.
