Yesterday all the PokerStars Team Pros apart from Martin Staszko made it through to day 2. The Team are finding that task much harder today, especially if they are based over in the casino.
We already lost Sebastian Ruthenberg, Max Lykov, Johnny Lodden and Jude Ainsworth; now Andre Akkari can be added to that list. He was short and slipped out quietly after losing his remaining stack.
He was joined by two other unfortunate souls.

Pius Heinz may be the current World Series of Poker Main Event champion but he has been given little credit from Sascha Brombacher who just bluffed him off a hand.
Heinz opened with a raise to 800 from middle position and the player to his immediate left, Khalil Youssafi, made the call. Two players folded and Brombacher squeezed to 2,100. With the action back on Heinz he clicked it back and made it 3,825 putting the attention on Youssafi. He placed his "West Coast Choppers" cap back on, re-checked his cards before giving them back to the dealer.
Brombacher then moved all in for an additional 16,000 and Heinz insta-folded. As he did he was proudly shown the 
. Nice hand sir.
Mickey Petersen has just doubled again and is now up to 21400 chips. He got his stack in with 
against the 
of Robert Rohr and when the board ran out 
the EPT Copenhagen champion scooped the pot.
