The players are now on their last 20-minute break of the day.
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
The flop read 
when we found Juha Helppi, Thomas Muhlocker, and a third player looking down at the felt. Helppi checked and Muhlocker fired 2,100. The third player folded and Helppi called. Fourth street was the 
and two checks allowed the 
to hit the river. Helppi tossed out a small bet of 1,125 which caused Muhlocker to think for a moment before opting to release his hand. Helppi picked up the pot and now has about 57,000.

Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Jan-Peter Jachtmann opened the action for 1,300, Florian-Dimitrie Duta called as did Casey Kastle and Liv Boeree on the button. The blinds left them to it and we say a flop of 
. No action from the early aggressor so it was checked to Kastle to make a bet of 5,000. Boeree, next to act, went all in for 15,500. Back to Kastle who made the call. Boeree showed 
, Kastle had 
. Kastle had the pair and the open ended straight draw, Boeree needed a heart. The 
on the turn was no good but the river saved her, a 
riding to the rescue.

Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Olof Haglund raised from the button and when the small blind folded Sofia Lovgren pushed all in for her last 8,200. Haglund made the call. Lovgrean had hoped he was stealing and if not at least she would have live cards with her 
. Haglund showed her 
and a sigh of disappointment escaped her lips. The sigh changed to a little cry of hope as the flop came 
. But the last two cards 
, meant they were chopping the pot.
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
We arrived at the table to find Kitty Kuo all in and at risk for her last 21,075 before the flop against Milan Polke. Kuo tabled 
but let out a concerned grown when Polke showed to crush her.
The dealer rapped the table and delivered a flop that pleased Kuo greatly as it read 
. Kuo's middle set put her in the leading heading to the next street but she was able to end it all there as the case nine - the 
- struck the turn and ensured her a victory double up. The meaningless finished the board and Kuo was able to score a double to about 44,000 with her quads.
