If stars had aligned slightly differently, Liv Boeree could have been a scientist. She talks to PokerStars Blog about her enduring love of all things physics.
The preflop action eluded us, but we do know that Mariano Martiradonna ended up all in for 140,500 and at risk against chip leader Iosif Beskrovnyy.
Showdown
Martiradonna: 
Beskrovnyy: 
While Martiradonna was racing for his tournament life, Beskrovnyy was looking to become the first person over the million-chip mark. The 
flop was kind to Martiradonna as it paired his jack to give him the lead. The 
turn left Beskrovnyy in need of an eight on the river, but it was not meant to be as the peeled off.
Martiradonna celebrated with a subdued fist pump while Beskrovnyy got busy counting out chips.

Chris Brammer is mixing it up in his usual way, and it's working out very well for him.
Fabrice Soulier opened to 10,500 from mid position and was called by Maroun Jazzar on the button before Brammer squeezed it up to 40,000 from the small blind. Both players made the call to see the 
flop.
Brammer led for 40,000 and both players folded.
"Show the deuce!" asked Soulier.
Brammer looked at him like he was insane and responded, "I don't have a deuce!"

Jeff Sarwer is catching up to our chip leaders here in the EPT Prague Main Event, thanks to him winning Tudor Purice's stack.
We arrived at their table to see Purice all-in with 
and Sarwer in the lead with 
. The 
flop was no help to Purice and the turn certainly wasn't because it meant he was drawing dead. The inconsequential 
was the river card and Purice started to say his goodbyes.
"I've been waiting for that spot for nearly two hours," said Purice
"Unlucky," said Sarwer before adding, "Two coolers against me."
"Definitely good luck," said Purice before he and Sarwer exchanged pleasantries.
We then complemented Sarwer on his new stack whilst he was trying to stack it up in an orderly manner.
"It's a welcome problem to have," we commented about Sarwer's struggle to stack his mountain of chips.
"It's a problem I've been waiting for for a long time!" came the reply.
