On the river of a 
board, Viacheslav Goryachev bet 5,000 after Maximilian Mast checked but the German then came in with a check-raise to 12,000 which Goryachev quickly called.
Mast showed 
for a straight flush while Goryachev could only say, "Nice hand," while flashing 
at the table. Mast has around 28,000 while Goryachev is on about 24,000
Maximos Pertsinidis had just joined the fun table and Eliot Smith began trying to explain to him about the games they are playing, the show one card and the seven deuce game. His grasp of English didn’t appear to be too good however and the conversation was curtailed when he played the next hand putting in 200 from early position before it was explained that the blind was now 300. He put in the extra 100.
Jason Duval raised it up to 800, Gil Morgensztern called as did big blind Dominik Nitsche. Pertsinidis too put in the extra 500.
The flop was 
and it checked around. The turn card was the 
and Nitsche led out for 2,200. Pertsinidis was the only caller and they saw a river card 
. Nitsche bet out again for 3,500 and after Pertsinidis had given him a bit of a stare he put out a raise to 8,700.
Nitsche had about 21,000 behind and thought about what to do under the hostile glare of Pertsinidis. It took a couple of minutes before he raised him back to 13,000. Pertsinidis stared some more before folding his hand.
“Show one, right?” said Nitsche and turned over the 
. He swore that he didn’t have a straight flush and that bet was the only way he could win the hand. Smith went back to trying to explain the games they were playing to Pertsinidis but perhaps the timing was a bit off and it looked like he was having none of it as he completelyt ignored Smith.
Alec Torelli then joined the table and seemed much more interested in hearing all about it.

Antonio Esfandiari has lost €1,900 to Salman Behbehani playing Lodden thinks with Nick Maimone playing the role of Lodden. On the last one the question was the percentage of winning poker players which Behbehani with a guess of 3%. Esfandiari was shocked declaring he thought it was higher as he was an optimist. Maimone too thought it might be higher but he’d read that number somewhere.
The next Lodden thinks question was the percentage of people in the tournament who believed in God. This sparked a debate on what was meant by God, and as they tried to define what God really was your reporter quietly moved away.
