The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}, and Raskin led for 6,500. Fox raised to 15,500, and Raskin called.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds}, and both players checked to see the {3-Hearts} land on the river. Raskin checked, Fox moved all in for 21,400, and Raskin snap-called.

Got To Love Ole

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Ole Schemion certainly knows how to make his mark on a new table. The German starlet, fresh from taking down €5k PLO event for €59,200, forced Imed Mahmoud off a hand with a huge river raise.

Mahmoud bet 2,000 on the river of an {10-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} board and was soon raised to 20,000 by Schemion.

"Why so much?" asked Mahmoud. He received no response. Eventually he folded and Schemion grew a wide smile. "Want to see one?" he asked. Mahmoud shook his head.

Esfandiari did though and, with permission, opened the {6-Hearts}.

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante
Dario Minieri
Dario Minieri

Igor Kurganov is a very happy boy heading off to dinner break after Dario Minieri bluffed his entire stack to him.

Kurganov told PokerNews that the Team PokerStars Pro bet 8,000, 20,000 and all in for 57,000 on a {k-}{j-}{2-}{a-}{6-} board. Kurganov called all the way with ace-queen but didn't have to show as his Italian opponent mucked. Kurganov didn't ask Mineri to show.
