Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Moments ago, she continued to slide down the counts, raising it up to 12,000 preflop, then calling off when France's Herve Boulan shipped 34.500 right behind her.
Moreira de Melo called with the and Boulan was racing for his tournament life, holding the .
Fours held on 
board.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the room, Greek player Evangelos Terzoudis has just been moved to a new seat after a number of short stacks hit the exit at his table and it broke. He brought more than 740,000 with him, and apparently, a spot near the top of the counts.
