Carrel Runs into Aces
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
We got to the table as the board read 
and Charlie Carrel had been check-raised by Alexander Kuzmin of Russia. Carrel had initially bet 3,200 into a pot of roughly 7,000, but Kusmin's raise was a cool 10,000. Carrel agonised over a call for a long while: "It's such a weird spot for you to check raise..."
He eventually made the call but mucked his hand as Kuzmin rolled over 
for the winning hand

Mercier Representing Team PokerStars
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier opened for 650 under the fun and the founder of the EPT, John Duthie, called. Brazil's Joao Simao came along from the cutoff, as did his fellow countryman and Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari from the button, and four players saw a flop of 
.
Mercier continued for 1,225, Duthie folded, and Simao popped it to 3,550. Akkari folded, Mercier called, and the both players checked the 
turn as well as the 
river. Mercier tabled the 
for top pair, and it was good as Simao sent his cards to the muck.

Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
Action folded to German pro Fabian Quoss in the small blind and he just limped. Mustapha Kanit exercised his option in the big with a raise to 850, and Quoss pushed back with a limp-raise to 2,800. Kanit called and the two saw a flop of .
Quoss was first to act and led out for 3,000, which Kanit called. When the dealer burned and turned the
