According to the screens, there are 471 players out of 647 entries remaining and they have been sent into the second 20-minute break of the day. Registration remains open for another two levels and the next break after the end of level nine will be a 75-minute dinner break.
Fulvio Barbisan has been eliminated and a quick look at his former table reveals a big stack for Sergio Castelluccio. Other bigger stacks from not long ago were also among those to depart such as Fred Weiss, and Luca Marchetti.
Matthias Hansen never recovered from the kings versus aces setup and table neighbor Raffaello Locatelli is also gone, as is PokerStars ambassador Fatima Moreira De Melo.

Denys Shafikov had a decent stack not long ago but has since vanished with a massive pile of chips in front of Dennis Schienagel. The German was involved in yet another big pot now, having claimed the stack of Shafikov with several hands, and now battled with Enes Avdagic.
On the 
turn, Schienagel bet 4,600 and Avdagic called. The 
fell on the river and Schienagel jammed, Avdagic snap-called for 20,200. Schienagel reluctantly showed 
and Avdagic had 
for trips on the turn.

Salvatore Camarda was unfortunate enough to turn top pair on 
when he got his stack in with the
