Team PokerStars Pro Pius Heinz seems to be making a serious run here in Sanremo as he keeps building his stack. On his last hand Heinz opened for 3,600 from under the gun and was called by the player on the button as well as Andrii Nadieliaiev in the big blind.
The flop went 
. Pius bet 4,800 and both of his opponents check-called. All three then checked the 
on the turn and 
on the river and Heinz was the first to show his hand which was 
. Both of his opponents mucked and Heinz collected the pot.
"I got lucky on the river, right?"... That's how a hand that saw a new chip leader emerge ended, so let us tell you how it began.
Szabolcs Mayer and Thomas Beer each put in 18,500 preflop and took a flop of 
. Mayer ended up check-calling a bet of 24,000, and then both players checked the 
turn. When the 
peeled off on the river, Mayer led out for 50,000 and Beer took about 15 seconds before making the call. Mayer then tabled 
for a rivered set and Beer slammed the table in disgust.
"I got lucky on the river, right?" Mayer asked as he stacked the big pot.
"Yeah," Beer replied. "It's my own fault."
Sofia Lovgren was flying high today and she was all set for a quarter-of-a-million stack until she was out-drawn.
The Swedish online pro raised from mid position and quickly called when Melvin Hendriks three-bet all in for 51,600 from the big blind.
Lovgren: 
Hendriks: 
The board ran 
to pair the Dutchman's jack.
Lovgren was hoping for a slice of cucumber with her Hendriks but the whole thing just left a sour taste in her mouth.
We found Roland Bachmann all in for his last 33,900 before the flop.
"I call!" proclaimed [Removed:163] from the other end of the table. Sheikh showed 
but was behind Bachmann's 
.
The board fell 
and Bachmann was able to clinch the double up. Although this was a hit to Sheikh, he's still thriving with over 200,000 in chips.
Bulgaria's Atanas Kavrakov raised to 3,500 from under the gun, and his only caller was Team PokerStars Pro Jose "Nacho" Barbero on the button. The dealer then spread the 
flop with Kavrakov firing 4,800. Barbero raised to 12,000, and Kavrakov called.
On the turn, both players checked the to see the land on the river. Kavrakov bet 16,000, but Barbero upped it to 36,000. A bit of time was spent in the tank by Kavrakov before he eventually folded, and Barbero won the pot.

But we all know better. Party Poker's Kara Scott is definitely still a rock star! Sarah catches her on a break to see how she is hanging in.
We didn't catch the preflop action, but we do know that Kenneth Hicks was all in and at risk against Justin Bonomo.
| Showdown |
Bonomo:   |
Hicks:  |
Bonomo held the best hand but Hicks was drawing to live cards. The 
flop paired Bonomo's queen, but the turn did give Hicks outs to a ten. Unfortunately for him, the river was a blank and Bonomo put an end to his day with a pair of queens.
