The Calamusa Story Continues
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Pierre Calamusa has been moved tables and found another decent spot to increase his stack two tables over from Celina Lin and Fatima Moreira de Melo. Calamusa opened with ace-king including the 
and both players in the blinds called. On the 
flop, Calamusa continued for half the pot and just the opponent in the small blind check-called.
On the 
turn, Calamusa made it 15,000 to go and was called before the 
river gave him the nut flush. His opponent was not willing to call the huge bet of 55,000 and the pot was shipped to the Frenchman.

The Home Team Takes a Hit
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier is looking for a second-chance event, and now considering the €20 media tournament on the schedule in Monaco this evening, after getting unlucky to bust out of the Main Event moments ago.
He raised it up to 2,400 with 16,500 behind and the big blind was the only caller. The big blind checked the 
flop with two diamonds, then shoved in after Mercier bet 4,000. Mercier called it off ahead, holding the 
versus the 
, and even held through the turn.
However, the 
river proved kryptonite for poker's superman, sending him to an early shower.
