Farid Meranghi now has about a quarter of the chips in play helped by a peculiar hand where Katja Thater pushed all-in for her last 80k, and the main pot was made up by Dennis Bejedal and Farid with calls.
Thater had meanwhile exposed her cards not realising Farid was still in (apparently having his cards obscured by his chips). The flop of QQ9 and Thater's exposed QJ meant that three queens were accounted for.
Yet Bejedal moved all in after the turn. Farid was happy to call with the fourth queen in hand. He held QJ like Katja and split the main pot. Bejedal's AA was not good.
Farid cleaned up the side pot that Bejedal just created with his all-in play.

Andrew O'Flaherty knows a move will be needed soon
With the cash prizes starting to step up, preflop raises are being met by folds on a regular basis. Andrew O'Flaherty didn't take that route when faced with a standard button raise from big stack Marius Skoglund Torbergsen. Instead he called. Flop came . Check check. Turn . O'Flaherty checked again so Torbergsen bet another 25k which O'Flaherty called. River came . Check by the Irishman. Delay then bet of 50k by the Norwegian. After a short dwell by O'Flaherty, who knew this call would be half his remaining chips near enough, he decided to fold.

To the side of the main EPT event here in Warsaw a cash game is taking place.
Players seated include John Duthie and Andrew Black. As you might imagine these gentlemen don't play $1/$2 games. I estimate the money on this table to be more than the EPT winner will get.
Ohh.. and rumour has it, Andy Black is cleaning up in this game.
