Andrew Dean has gone out in 90th after he was all in for his last 29,000 with , Simeon Naydenov had made the call behind him with and comprehensively won out on a board of .
Former EPT San Remo champion Rupert Elder open shoved from the button for around 61,000 and after stalling for close to two minutes, including counting out on his fingers and searching for what we believe to be his calculator, Salvatore Donato folded in the small blind and Todd Terry got out of the way in the big blind.
When the hand was finished Roberto Romanello asked the tournament director to watch the table because Donato was constantly stalling. He has since stopped taking forever to act and has now taken to slapping himself on the back of his neck and occasionally on his cheek.
Hand for hand play never had to be enforced as a hand that took a long time to play out resulted in the elimination Benas Molis.
He was heads-up to a flop against Jannick Wrang and his bet was raised to 37,500 by the Dane. He responded by three-betting to 79,000. Wranf thought for a minute and moved all-in. This sent Molis into the tank and he came out and said, “I think I have to call.”
He did and tabled the drawing , behind to the PokerStars qualifier’s . The board ran out to improve Wrang to a full house. All remaining players are now in the money.
Rupert Elder immediately moved all in after the bubble for his last 40,000 or so with but found Salvatore Donato behind him with - the latter holding for the pot.
The awesomely named Thomas Butzhammer has also been knocked out.
Maurizio Coppola was crippled in a big and before he busted two hands later.
The first hand was a cooler as he woke up with in the big blind when Mihai Manole had in the small blind. Naturally the chips went in and the board ran out .
Two hands later he committed his last 9,000 chips after a 8,000 raise from Olivier Busquet. The big blind called as well and Coppola’s ace-ten was beaten by both players.
Now that the bubble has burst the shorter stacks have been moving all in with alarming regularity, including Antonio Buonanno who has open-shoved the last three hands in a row but is yet to pick up a caller. Look out for his name in the payouts soon as he is bound to be called sooner rather than later.
The tournament halts for an instant reply to confirm whether Benas Molis was actually the bubble boy or had snuck into the money with a €7,500 min-cash.
Andrey Demidov moved all in from late position and was called by Marco Fabbrini before Balazs Botond reraised all in from the big blind, Fabbrini folded what he said was ace-queen.
Demidov:
Botond:
The board came and the Hungarian retook the chip lead and moved back over 800,000.
We were attracted to Table 10 because of the strange blue glow being given off due to the sheer number of 5,000 chips in the middle of the felt. When we arrived we saw a board reading and Jose Manuel Nadal Sordo on the button having bet just 18,500 into a pot worth 130,000. Anestis Pantazidis was in the hijack seat and he had raised to 60,000 and when Sordo moved all-in for an additional 121,000 Pantazidis quickly called.
Sordo turned over and Pantazidis mucked his hand and is left with around 50,000.
A preflop raising war between Massimo Mosele and Ramin Hajiyev broke out that result in the latter being all-in and at risk of elimination. He turned over that was in big trouble against the of Mosele.
The flop kept Mosele nicely in front and the turn kept him there. But the river was the and with that Mosele's stack was crippled; he now has just 30,500 chips.
