Frederik Jensen is getting back to winning ways after seemingly out flopping Erich Kollman.
He defended his big blind after the Austrian raised from the cut-off and the flop came 
. The Dane check-raised Kollmann's 15,000 c-bet up to 34,500. Kollman called and also called bets of 29,500 and 74,500 on the 
turn and river.
Jensen opened 
for two pair and raked the pot as Kollmann mucked.

When we picked up the action, the 
flop was already out on board in a heads-up pot between Borge Dypvik and Vadim Markushevski. The latter had put out a bet of 25,000 there, and Dypvik had check-raised all in for 156,500. That was just 15,000 less than Markushevski had total, so the decision was essentially for his tournament life. It was a long, long while before he finally made the call, and Dypvik sunk in his chair. "That's not good for me," he admitted, tabling his draw.
Showdown
Dypvik: 
Markushevski: 
The on the turn opened up another few outs for Dypvik, but he'd go ahead and make his straight regardless. The 
was the river, and Markushevski could only shake his head. "Nice call, at least," Dypvik offered. It seemed of little consolation.
Markushevski has headed off to break with just those 15,000 chips in front of his seat.

Javier Etayo raised to 8,500 from late position and McLean Karr moved all in from the blinds for about 122,000 and Etayo made the call. Players and the media flocked to the table as the tournament director waited for every other hand to finish.
"Come on McLean!" shouted Toby Lewis from the next table.
Karr smiled, "I'm in bad shape..."
Finally, with no other action left, the hand were turned over.
Etayo:
Karr: 
The flop was 
and Karr was still drawing thin, "Four!" shouted Lewis and the dealer put out the 
on the turn.
"Oooooh," said the crowd.
Now Karr had a straight draw but the river was the 
, a bit of an anti-climax if truth be told. Karr goes out in the annoying spot of 73rd place, everyone else is in the money.

Vadim Markushevski opened with an under-the-gun raise, and Siya Sha flatted on the button. Jean-Pierre Petroli squeezed in a small reraise from the small blind, and both opponents called to see a three-way flop.
It came 
, and Petroli continued out with 26,000. That folded Markushevski without incident, but Sha was not so easily pacified. He called.
The turn came the 
, and Petroli stacked a second bullet worth 46,000 chips into the pot. Now the action froze on Sha for a long time. It must have been at least seven or eight minutes before someone at the table called the clock. Sha was given a thirty-second warning by the floorman halfway into the countdown, and just about then, Sha announced a raise all in.
It was 74,000 more to Petroli, and he sunk in his chair. Two or three minutes later, he folded to leave about 150,000 for the next try.
