Full Tilt Poker Ambassador Dermot Blain is off to a flying start in Prague, thanks mainly to a big pot he won from Ryan Spittles. "I'm up to 55,000 because this guy (points at Spittles who's to his direct right) lost his mind," the Irishman said jokingly, he and Spittles are friends. "Somar Al-Darwich raised to 400, Ryan's called and I've made it 1,800 from the small blind with queens. It folds back to Ryan and he raises to 4,200 and I call because I don't know what to do there and just hoping to flop a queen! The flop was

A player at the table made it 800 after which Dutchman Farid Chati two positions down made it 2,025. Maxim Lykov in the cutoff four bet to more than 5,000 and American Seth Berger cold five-bet allin for a little over 10,000. Action folded to Chati who announced to be allin as well and Lykov followed suit calling allin.
Chati showed 
, Lykov had 
and Berger tabled 
. The flop was a real rollercoaster as the 
was in the window and the table looked in awe. The 
followed though and now we could hear Chati breathe a sigh of relief. The last card on the flop was the 
though, giving Berger a gutshot for the win all of the sudden. Lykov had just one out for the victory and Berger lost one after the 
hit the turn as the

fell on the river and Farid Chati eliminated two players at once.
"Two seats open" the dealer shouted well before Lykov and Berger had even exited the tournament area. Chati in the mean time was stacking about 77,000 in chips.

Vasili Firsau opened for 500 and Scotland’s David Vamplew almost certainly had his eye on all of Firasau’s chips when he three-bet to 1,000, as Firasau had just over 2,000 behind. The small blind folded and there was just one more player to get through. Nikov Dobromir Georgiev in the big blind had other ideas and cold four-bet to 3,500. Firsau folded and suddenly Vamplew’s plans had to change. Vamplew made the call in position and the two players saw a flop of 
. Georgiev checked and called when Vamplew bet 3,600. Turn 
went check / check as did the river 
. Georgiev turned over 
for a flush and Vamplew sighed and flicked his cards away in disbelief at how the hand had turned out.
