Erik Seidel raised under the gun to 48,000 and Vladimir Troyanovsky called from the hijack. The flop brought out 
and Seidel bet 65,000. Troyanovsky made the call and on the turn the 
hit. Both players checked and the same thing happend when the 
popped up on the river.
Seidel showed 
and took down the pot.
Timothy Adams surprisingly checked top pair on a wet board just now with two other players in the hand.
He opened to 50,000 fro mid position and was called by Vladimir Troyanovsky in the cut-off and Fabian Quoss in the big blind. All three checked the 
flop before Quoss led for 120,000 on the 
turn. Only Adams called to the 
river where both players checked.
Quoss opened 
and lost out to Adams' 
.
Max Altergott just raised under the gun plus two to 55,000 and that was the moment for Mike Watson to move all in. Watson shoved for 528,000 from the button but nobody decided to make the call. There are still nine players remaining as we are playing down to the final seven.

PokerStars Team Online's Isaac Haxton is commentating on the live stream right now and he was discussing the table dynamics.
Four of the bigger stacks in Sorel Mizzi, Vladimir Troyanovskiy, Jason Mercier and Max Altergott are all sat in a row. He hinted that they may be more likely to clash because of that fact.
Mizzi is the furthered to the right of this bunch so he may need to tighten his range for the moment. Haxton then said that it could come down to a game of chicken for him in that he can open and dare one of the others to plat back at him.
Just as his mentioned this, Mizzi opened to 52,000 from the hijack and Mervier came in with a three-bet to 138,000. Mizzi folded and the first game of chicken went to the Team PokerStars Pro.

Many hands are being played but we haven't seen any big ones lately. The dinner break starts in 10 minutes and everyone seems to be looking forward to grabbing a bite.
