Tudor Purice, a PokerStars qualifier from Romania, opened to 4,800 from early position, and the action folded to Emeric Styevlik, who three-bet to 16,500 on the button. Purice tank-called.
The flop fell 
, and Purice checked to Styevlik, who immediately fired 25,000. Purice thought for a bit, then called.
The turn was the 
, Purice checked again, and Styevlik put his head in his hands.
"All in," he muttered.
"How much?" Purice quickly asked the dealer.
The all-in bet was for 88,200, and while Purice was in the tank, Styevlik whipped out his phone. He was furiously typing away at a text message, email, Tweet, or something, completely ignoring the situation at hand.
Purice flicked his cards towards the dealer, and Styevlik triumphantly tabled 
.

A short-stacked Marco Leonzio moved all in for 35,000 under the gun, and Najib Kamand, who had slightly more than that, moved all in over the top right behind. The rest of the field got out of the way and the cards were turned on their backs.
Showdown
Leonzio:
Kamand: 
Leonzio had Kamand dominated, though the 
flop opened up some chop possibilities. The 
turn made things even more interesting as Kamand picked up the nut-flush draw, but it wasn't in the cards as the 
peeled off on the river. Leonzio breathed a big sigh of relief, and after the stacks were counted down, Kamand was left with a measly 5,600.

On a 
flop, Dimitry Gromov checked in the big blind, Maxim Panyak checked under the gun and Ramin Hajiyev took an 11,300 stab at the pot. Next to Hajiyev was Chris Brammer, who raised it up to 35,000, forcing the active players to fold back to Hajiyev.
Hajiyev looked puzzled by the raise and spent 20 or so seconds studying his British opponent before folding.
As the pot was being slid towards Brammer, Hajiyev asked "How much to see your cards?"
Brammer replied, "€500"
"€100," bartered Hajiyev whilst reaching into his wallet. After a little rummaging around, Hajiyev produced a €200 note, but Brammer flicked his cards into the muck. Balla!
We missed the action, but we can confirm that Anders Wessman just doubled through Freerk Post holding a straight flush. In the hand, the board read 
and Wessman had laid out in front of him. Post's cards had already been mucked by the time we arrived.
