Valerii Lubenets' Prague adventure is over thanks to him pushing his straight into the of Ivan Deyra. The board hinted at coming to Lubenets' rescue, but ultimately didn't with the five community cards running .
Close to Lubenets' old table is Sam Greenwood, who has recovered from being down to 80,000 chips to be closing in on 300,000 right now.
A million chip pot was just played over on table one when Simon Persson bluffed in to the two pair of Vlado Banicevic (link), and just now another huge pot went down on the table in the far left corner of the room.
PokerStars Team Pro Ivan Demidov opened under the gun and Vlado Banicevic and Ka Kwan Lau called before Samuel Vousden over called from the big blind.
Vousden lead out for about half the pot on and just Lau made the call. Lau called the half pot bet on the turn as well and the completed the board. Vousden shoved all in and Lau instantly called for the 188,000 he had remaining.

Set over set, set Samuel Vousden back lots while Ka Kwan Lou doubled.
Andrius Bielskis is out of the EPT12 Prague Main Event, but a little bit of stalling has secured him €1,260 more than he could have won.
Bielskis lost all but 3,000 chips when his failed to come from behind to beat the of Paul Michaelis, and noticed that there were 96 players remaining. Ninety-sixth place paid €10,280, but 95th place €11,540. Bielskis stalled on the next hand for close to one minute, and again on the next, before someone bust to allow him to commit his then solitary chip, which he lost in a mulitway pot.
We happened upon a hand already in progress. It appeared a short-stacked Philipp Kober was all in preflop, while Ilkin Amirov and Federico Castanola were contesting a side pot on a board.
Amirov checked, Castanola bet 29,000, and Amirov got out of the way.
"I have no outs," Kober admitted upon seeing Castanola's . Indeed, Kober was drawing dead with the , and was officially eliminated from the tournament when the was put out on the river.
Ilkin Amirov just moved all in for his last 115,000 chips from the hijack, and Oleg Vasylchenko called all in from his direct left for a little bit less. Eduards Kudrjavcevs, on the button, called the all ins as well, and he had both players covered by the slightest margin.
Amirov:
Vasylchenko:
Kudrjavcevs:
The board brought and Amirov caught a jack on the turn to triple his stack. On the very next hand Amirov won another pot to put him up to 430,000 while Kudrjavcevs needs a fair bit of luck to get back into the tournament.
Walter Treccarichi moved all in for roughly 100,000 from middle position and Julian Stuer called off for just under from the button. Both blinds folded and it was off to the races.
Treccarichi:
Stuer:
Stuer was ahead, but that changed when the flop delivered Treccarichi a pair of kings. Neither the turn nor river helped Stuer, and he made his way to the payout desk.
Ka Kwan Lau opened before the flop from early position and Simon Persson made the call on the button. Vlado Banicevic in the big blind over called and the three took a flop of . Banicevic checked and initial raiser Lau followed suit. Persson bet 28,000 and Banicevic check raised to 62,000. Ka Kwan Lau folded, Persson called.
The hit the turn and Banicevic bet 77,000. Persson made the call.
Banicevic tanked for quite some time and Persson called the clock after a little wile. As soon as the floor came over to start the one minute countdown, Banicevic instantly called.
Persson showed his with a disappointed face. Banicevic tabled and cheered.
We just caught Oliver Price all in and at risk against Terence Stevens, and the Brit who'd been one of the shorter stacks for quite some time, endured the following showdown.
