Adolfo Balado from Spain is one of the older players in the tournament today and from what we have seen of him he is not afraid to call light if he think his opponents are trying to push him around. He faced off in a pot against Russian EPT regular Dmitry Yurasov with the final board reading .
Balado was in the big blind and checked it to Yurasov who languidly bet 4,500 and remained expressionless, his heavy lidded eyes giving nothing away but perhaps provoking some suspicion from Baldo who weighed it up and made the call.
Yurasov showed him the and Balado motioned to muck his cards before deciding to show the table his
hand.

Vit Blachut arrived on the EPT circuit last year making a decent run in a few events and grabbing some headlines for his resemblance to Harry Potter, his unusual way of stacking chips and his aggressive play. Blachut has been maintaining his stack more than anything today but he found a spot to get all his chips in preflop in a good spot.
Christophe Olivier Jonin was the man who responded to Blachut’s raise with an all-in and Blachut snapped him off. Jonin tabled and was crushed by the
of Blachut. The river ran out
and Blachut had some chips to start stacking.

The flop came down , and Wang checked to Karlsson. As the preflop raiser, Karlsson fired a continuation bet of 2,200. Mizrachi called, and then Kustov, Shafikov, and Wang all folded.
The turn was the , and Karlsson tapped the table to pass the action over to Mizrachi. The man they call "The Grinder" bet 3,500, but that wasn't enough to shake Karlsson, as he called to see the
complete the board on the river. Karlsson checked again, and Mizrachi fired 6,200 this time. Karlsson stood strong to the test again and called.
Mizrachi tabled the for just king high. Karlsson showed the
and took down the pot.
