Ilan Boujenah tried the old donk-bet maneuver but it failed to work. He peeled a 1,100 button raise to see a flop where he bet out for 1,700. The dealer raised to 4,600 and Boujenah snap-folded.
Shaun Deeb is still going along nicely. He opened to 1,100 from early position and was called by Leonard Bilokur on the button and the small blind. He continued for 2,050 on the flop and only Bilokur called. The Russian wasn't interested in continuing any further than that and folded to Deeb's 4,500 bet on the turn.
Yury Gulyy is back to his starting stack after he three-bet from the big blind and led on a flop. The flop bet did the job as his opponent ran to the hills.
Team PokerStars Pro Henrique Pinho is back above his starting stack after doubling up through Walter Blattler. The chips of both players went in preflop, Blattler covering the Portuguese pro by 12,325 chips, Pinho holding and Blattler .
Pinho took the lead on the flop and he stayed in front as the turn and river were the and respectively.
The TV table has been in operation from level three meaning it's been very difficult to get anywhere near. We were frustrated by the lack of access so we asked the TV crew to bring us regular chip counts. You''ll have to catch the TV shows to see how the following selected names got their chips:
Tsubasa Manabe is out after going for the jugular versus Igor Kurganov and coming unstuck.
Kurganov opened to 1,400 from under-the-gun and was called by Manabe two seats along and one other player. From there on it was all about Munabe who bet 2,500, 7,500 and all-in for 34,575 on the river. The final board read and Kurganov check-called all the way with for a rivered two-pair.
Munabe could only muster . The two German's embraced and Munavbe heaged off saying, "Sick hand."
Santiago Nadal has just helped himself to a huge pot after an ace on the river coolered [Removed:464].
We joined the action on the flop, a flop that Semaska bet 3,300 on from the hijack. This put the action on Nadal in the cutoff and he paused for 90 seconds before raising it up to 7,700. Shaun Deeb folded on the button but Semaska made the call.
The turn was the and Semaska checked to Nadal who waited for a full minute before checking behind. Our river card was the and Semaska checked again. Nadal waited even longer than he did on the turn, waiting two minutes this time before betting 16,800 but Semaska's result was immediate; he called.
Semaska: - for a flush
Nadal: for a winning full house.
Semaska shook his head and went a nice shade of red whilst Nadal got busy stacking up his chips.
