Saout Doubles Through Moreira de Melo

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

From early position, Fatima Moreira de Melo raised to 12,000. She got called by Antoine Saout and the two got {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to work with. Moreira de Melo made a continuation bet of 17,000 and Saout called.

The {J-Spades} on the turn prompted Moreira de Melo to fire another 34,000. Saout thought about it for a bit before raising to 89,000, leaving himself exactly that behind as well. Moreira de Melo asked how much he had behind, and eventually shoved all in. Saout instantly called.

Fatima Moreira de Melo: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Antoine Saout: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Moreira de Melo had a single out left, and this wouldn't be the time she hit it. The {5-Spades} on the river was a blank and Saout doubled up.

Seat Open for Lambertz and Nadav

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

Ophir Nadav and Felix Lambertz have been eliminated in quick succession, the all in and call as well as seat open announcements by the dealers come in frequently right now anyways.

Nadav got his short stack of around 40,000 in with {K-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Adrien Allain called out of the big blind with {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{A-Spades}{5-Spades} and the trips aces won the pot for the Frenchman.

Lambertz shoved an even shorter stack from the button with {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Enver Abduraimov called from one seat over with {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. After a board of {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}, the German headed to the payout desk.

Cody Hits the Rail

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

As we made our way to the tournament area, we ran into Jake Cody. He was standing in line to register for another tournament, so we were pretty sure he had been knocked out of the Main Event.

"I scraped into the money," said Cody, "and then shipped queen jack into ace king."

In The Wake of the Bubble

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

With short stacks shoving all around the room and a mad rush of min-cashers headed to the to the cage, fortunes change fast in the wake of the bubble on the European Poker Tour.

Team PokerStars SportsStars Fatima Moreira de Melo felt the pain of that, going into the bubble with a big stack, then finding herself on the wrong end of the set-over-set debacle reported earlier. 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 {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Boulan was racing for his tournament life, holding the {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

Fours held on {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} 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.
