Level 5
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
We caught the action on the very last hand before the break when Dani Stern raised to 48,000 from the small blind. Igor Kurganov, sitting in the big blind, had one 25,000-chip out in front of him as the action was back on him.
Kurganov proceeded put in another raise up to 85,000 and Stern went into the tank. Stern eventually moved all in and Kurganov folded with 125,000 chips left behind.

The flop read 
when Full Tilt's Professional Viktor Blom bet 18,400 from the small blind. Tom Marchese put in a raise to 37,000 and we picked up the action right when Blom moved all in. Marchese looked back down at his cards and called about five seconds later for his total 180,000-chip stack.
Marchese: 
Blom: 
The board ran out 
, 
and Blom hit his flush. Marchese was knocked out while Blom took a very big chip lead.

Mikhail Smirnov just eliminated Philipp Gruissem and that means his second bullet is a lot better so far than his first. We heard that Gruissem moved all in on a 
board and was called by Smirnov's 
. Gruissem had 
and missed his straight draw.
Gruissem is likely to re buy and sit back down in this event.

Another player has hit the rail here in the €100,000 Super High Roller, and this time it was 2012 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event runner-up Sergii Baranov.
Baranov was all in preflop with the 
against the 
. It was gathered from the chatter at the table following the display of the hands that Seiver made what looked like way too good of a squeeze play that caused Baranov to shove in. Seiver actually had a hand, which Baranov didn't like to see.
The flop came down 
, and despite being well behind preflop, Baranov spiked three fours to take the lead. His dreams would be short lived, though, as the 
on the turn vaulted Seiver right back in front with a full house. The river completed the board with the , and Baranov was out the door.

Last night, before Daniel Negreanu busted out of the €10,000 Main Event final table in fourth place, he took a big beat against fellow Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden. After the money went in preflop, Lodden's pocket nines spiked a set to crack Negreanu's two queens. From there, Negreanu just couldn't recover.
This time, Negreanu was the one with two nines cracking an overpair, so one could probably say, what goes around comes around.
From the hijack seat, Joseph Cheong raised to 4,000. Mikhail Smirnov called in the cutoff seat, then Negreanu three-bet to 15,500 from the small blind. This was the second hand in a row that Cheong had opened, Smirnov flatted behind and Negreanu three-bet from one of the blinds. Cheong moved all in for 51,000, and Smirnov folded. Negreanu made the call.
Negreanu was behind at the start with the 
to Cheong's 
, but the 
flop put "Kid Poker" in front. The turn was the and the river the 
, giving Negreanu the win and sending Cheong to the rail.

Mikhail Smirnov is one of the players who has re-entered today and was putting his second bullet at risk when he shoved on the river against Philipp Gruissem.
The two players were in the blinds and around 160,000 had made it into the middle by the time the board rested as 
. Smirnov shoved from the small blind for 158,500 and his German opponent called after tanking for several minutes.
Smirnov opened for a full house and Gruissem mucked.

From the cutoff seat, Joseph Cheong raised to 4,500. Mikhail Smirnov called on the button, then Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu reraised to 13,000 from the big blind. Cheong folded, but Smirnov called.
The flop came down 
, and Negreanu fired 16,000. Smirnov called, and the turn was the 
. Negreanu bet 27,000, and Smirnov called again.
The river paired the board with the 
, and Negreanu bet 52,000. Smirnov gave it up, and Negreanu won the pot.
