Dealer Doesn't Do it for Alfred
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
With around 14,500 already in the pot and a flop of 
, Thomas Muehloecker bet 6,600 from the small blind, Sanan Dovlatov called from the cutoff, and Nader Alfred took his time on the button before moving all in for 22,500. Muehloecker folded, but Dovlatov opted to make the call.
Alfred: 
Dovlatov: 
"Ok, do it one time dealer," Alfred requested. The dealer did not oblige and instead put out the useless 
and 
on the turn and river respectively.
"Good call," Alfred said before rising. "Thank you."
Meanwhile, both Craig Varnell and Panagiotis Oikonomou have also been eliminated from the tournament.

With roughly 6,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, Steve O'Dwyer checked from the small blind and Switzerland's Sardor Shagulyamov did the same from the big. The action repeated itself on the

Vitagliano Vanquished; Chidwick and Filatov Disappear
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
We picked up the action on the river with the board reading 
and 10,000 out in front of Italy's [Removed:40]. Igor Kanavin responded by moving all in, and Vitagliano, who had about 10,000 back, agonized over what to do. Eventually he dropped in some chips to signify a call, and he no doubt regretted it as Kanavin tabled the 
for the runner-runner nuts.
Vitagliano then showed 
for runner-runner two pair.
Meanwhile, Stephen Chidwick, Anatoly Filatov, and Ants-Endel Sorra all found themselves on the rail.

Some Jawdropping Tables
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
The field may not be huge yet, but some of the tables provide plenty of potential for fireworks. Nicholas Palma sits with Maria Ho, Christoph Vogelsang, Fabrice Soulier, PokerStars' Team Online Isaac Haxton, Michael Wang and [Removed:17].
A few tables over, Justin Bonomo, Mohsin Charania, Mukul Pahuja and Guiliano Bendinelli are seated together. Most of the North American pros came over straight from Berlin to Malta and are not interested in the online grind on Poker Sunday.
