Blain Stands His Ground
Koen De Visscher came in raising to 3,500 before the flop, and Dermot Blain flatted in position to go heads up to the flop.
The dealer spread out 
, and Blain called another 4,200 there. Visscher's 
turn bet of 10,500 was called as well, and the river 
filled out the board. Check-check this time. First to show, De Visscher rolled over 
. Blain's little 
had held strong, and that pot chips him back up out of the basement a bit. He and De Visscher have essentially traded places now.

News in Brief
- Per Linde moved all in for 25,900 from the small blind after Jean Petroli had limped from under the gun. Petroli folded and was shown
by the Swede, who then looked up to us and said, "I had 700 chips five hands ago!" - Kevin MacPhee is hovering around the 50,000 mark and getting aggressive with his stack. He three-bet to 8,500 from the small blind after Andrei Stoenescu had opened to 3,500 from early psoition. The Romanian saw how much MacPhee had behind and folded.
- Melanie Weisner paid off Ivan Tikhov on the river of a
board. She checked to face a 21,000 bet that she called before mucking when shown

Vamplew Having None of the Squeeze
First in from the hijack, Dermot Blain came in with a raise to 3,500, and David Vamplew flatted one seat over. In the big blind, Rebecca Gerin studied the table for a moment before sticking in a three-bet to 11,600. That folded Blain without incident, but Vamplew was going nowhere. After just a minute or so, he announced a shove for 47,500 total. That sent Gerin deep into the tank, and it seemed that she was legitimately considering a tough decision with the potential to knock out a dangerous player -slash- former EPT champion. Gerin had about 145,000 left in front of her, but she eventually decided a fold was the right move.

Time to Go
Craig Hopkins and Domink Nitsche have both busted this level.
Hopkins, who said after that he was waiting an hour to see a picture card, shoved for his last 9,000 with 
and was called by Joao Ribeiro in the big blind with 
. The board ran out 
.
A short while after news reached us that Nitsche four-bet all-in with ace-queen. The three-bettor had ace-king and that was that for the young German.

Jansen on Fire
Mark Jansen started this level with just 12,000. In little under an hour, he's turned it into 161,000 after picking up aces several times and kings as well.
He had got into a raising war against PokerStars Team Pro Nacho Barbero, three-betting to 9,800 only for Barbero to make it 18,000 to go. Jansen flat-called to see a 
flop and check-called a bet of 14,000 as the players went to the 
turn. Jansen checked and Barbero set him in, the Dutch player snap-called.
Barbero: 
Jansen: 
The came on the river - Jansen is on a tear.

A Developing Story
Hahaha, see what we did there?!
Hmph. Well enjoy this batch of photos from Neil Stoddart, regardless.
