Small Battle of the Blinds
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Stefano Rossomando seemed annoyed at himself after he lost a small pot to EPT London finalist Tamer Kamel.
The latter raised from the small blind and the two took to a 
flop after the former defended his big blind. Kamel bet 2,500 there and 4,200 on the 
turn before both checked the 
river.
Kamel opened 
and Rossomando flashed the 
and folded whilst shaking his head.

Batorevich Makes Straight to Bust Toderita
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
We caught up with the action to see a board that read 
. Liviu-Catalin Toderita led out with a 14,000-chip bet and Irina Batorevich was in the tank, pondering her action.
After a moment, Batorevich decided to stick around to see fifth street. The river was the 
and Toderita instantly plopped his remaining stack of about 35,000 into the middle without hesitation.
"I call," said Batorevich just as quickly.
She rolled over 
for a straight. Toderita shot out of his seat and yelped. He slapped 
on the table and quickly walked over to a friend at an adjacent table, lamenting his situation all the while. Batorevich, on the other hand, remained calm as she quietly stacked up the chips of her fallen opponent. She's now sitting on about 185,000.

Erbay: 
Scheidt: 
Erbay was in bad shape when the dealer spread 
, and he was drawing dead when the turn brought the

completed the board, and Erbay was off to talk with a German reported about running his hand into quads.
A few hands later, Naujoks raised to 5,000 out of the small blind, and Scheidt raised to 11,000 in the big. Naujoks called, then led out for 10,000 on a flop of

Naujoks on Pace For First German Cash Since Her Win
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Team Pro Sandra Naujoks won EPT Dortmund back in 2009 for €917,000 and has not cashed in her home country since. Today she made quite the comeback and is sitting on around 90,000 chips now after successfully four-betting preflop just now.
After a raise to 4,200 there was a three-bet to 11,000 and Naujoks four-bet to 25,000 from middle position. All player folded quickly back to the three-bettor who tanked for a bit before kicking in his cards.
If Naujoks cashes in this event it will be her third cash this season after finishing 116th in Deauville and 64th in London. A total of 136 will cash in this event so there's still a long way to go for the German pro.
