David Vamplew is back on top of the counts with a hand with that had a little bit of showdown value, and backed into being the nut flush.
He was heads up to the turn with Danilo Donnini and the board read .
Donnini was in the small blind and led for 6,200. Vamplew called to the river where he faced a check. The former EPT London winner bet a polarising 19,800. Donnini called and wasn't too happy when Vamplew opened up for the nut flush.
Vamplew raked in more chips with an embarrassed look on his face accompanied with a cheeky little smile at the corner of his mouth. Almost as if butter wouldn't melt!
Chris Moorman raised to 3,600 and got called by Giuseppe Biancoviso on the button, Antonio Valenti and Michele Ugolini in the blinds.
Everyone checked the flop before Valenti led out for 7,200 on the turn, Moorman was the only caller to see the on the river. Valenti now checked and Moorman thought for nearly two minutes before moving all in for about 40,000. Valenti snap-folded.
Table 17 provided a pre flop three-way all-in, and two players nearly busted.
Alexander Andermatt opened to 3,500 before Dimitar Danchev moved all-in for 24,000 from the next. Luca Cavecchi must've seen value as he called all-in for 5,100 from the small blind. Andermatt called and it was showdown time.
Andermatt:
Danchev:
Cavecchi:
The board ran .
Cavecchi made trips to tripple up, and he almost kissed the dealer such was his delight. Danchev busted and Andermatt took the chunky side pot.
Roberto Romanello has around 160,000 chips after a clash with the hyper-aggressive Nick Yunis went his way.
Before the break one player opened to 2,500 and Romanello three-bet to 6,200. Yunis was to his direct left and he made the call; the original raiser folded. The flop came down with two spades, Romanello continued with a bet of 12,000 and Yunis called. On the off-suit ten turn Romanello kept the pedal to the metal and made it 35,000 and again Yunis called, but when Romanello emptied the clip and moved all in on the river Yunis folded and the monster pot went the way of the Welshman.
Bertrand Grospellier fired 7,200 on the turn of a board against Mario Picheler who check-called to see the on the river. Picheler checked once more but quickly called when Grospellier moved all in for his last 20,200.
ElkY showed and Picheler was forced to flip , The Frenchman has a much more workable stack.
Salvatore Pengue opened from under the gun and the action folded around to Luigi Abiusi in the small blind. He paused before moving all-in for 17,100 and Pengue beat him into the pot with a call.
Pengue:
Abiusi:
The flop saw Abiusi take the lead and he stayed there as the turn and river were the and the respectively and Abiusi doubled up.
Balazs Botond was drawn at table one, seat one today. He started the day with 107,500 chips, which was not a top-ten stack. He was in the category of player that we wouldn't keep too close an eye on, but if he started to make moves, we would give him more attention.
Just checked back to him and he has 335,000 chips! As chip leader the man from Hungary has our full attention from here on.
Chris Moorman is trying his best to climb back up the chip counts but his reputation is obviously proceeding him and nobody wants to give him any action. Just now Gianpaolo Eramo opened to 4,000 from UTG+1 and it was Moorman's turn to act.
From Eramo's immediate left, Moorman three-bet to 8,800 which folded out each of the active players at the table, including Eramo.
