The board was already complete and reading 
. Charlie Carrel had moved all in for 10,400 into a pot of 13,200 out of the small blind and Marvin Rettenmaier was thinking. He eventually called off and was shown 
to attempt mucking his cards. Since it was an all in showdown, the dealer told him to show and it was the 
of the German that ended up second best in the hand.
Georgios Sotiropoulos has bought in late in an attempt to get yet another big score. The Greek finished runner up at the EPT10 Prague and won a bracelet at the WSOPE in Berlin last week.
Mohsin Charania, Thomas Muehloecker, Dario Sammartino and Dominik Panka are all in for their second bullet and especially Muehloecker has an interesting situation, as he was drawn to the very same table to seat six instead of seven. Will he take revenge and get the chips back from Emil Ekvardt?
Brazilian Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari appears headed in the wrong direction right now.
He bet 2,500 into a 
flop with a pot of 5,200 already in the middle. Heads-up opponent Kevin MacPhee made the call and they both checked the 
turn.
The 
river brought another Akkari check and he folded when MacPhee fired in a value-sized bet, leaving himself less than half a starting stack behind.
Coming off his big win at the WSOP Europe Main Event in Berlin earlier this month, the same city where he won an EPT Main Event in 2010, MacPhee is working on his second bullet here, but it has already proven more fruitful than the first.
"Yeah that's what I do when I am freerolling, kind-deuce suited. I won a Satellite this morning," Mukul Pahuja said and confirmed the alleged move from early today that some players spoke about during the break.

board with 
, his opponent was in the showdown with a three.
Both Fabrice Soulier and Igor Kurganov departed from table 13 within a matter of minutes and left the remaining players behind five-handed, requiring new arrivals for the action to continue. Dominik Nitsche was responsible for the seat open of Kurganov after four-bet shoving with pocket sevens from the small blind. Kurganov called with 
and failed to improve.
The very next hand, Ismael Bojang doubled up with 
versus and then Huidong Gu raised to 2,400 from early position. Alexander Rocha called and so did Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier on the button. Bojang squeezed to 10,500 in the big blind and enforced folds all around.
Ivan Demidov raised to 1,600 from the cutoff and Jonathan Roy reraised to 4,800 from one seat over. Back to Demidov who clicked to 11,500 and Roy then squeezed to 22,600 before calling all in for 72,000 and almost even in chips with the .
Demidov had pocket aces and this time the premium hand of the PokerStars Team Pro didn't get cracked on an ace-high board.
Ismael Bojang raised and got called by Huidong Gu on the button only to see a flop of 
. Bojang's continuation bet resulted in the all in of Gu for around 25,000 chips and Bojang called with the 
for top two pair. Gu only had the
