Marius Pospiech's tournament has just ended on the flip of a coin.
Pospiech's 460,000 chips went into the middle preflop holding and he found a caller in the shape of Xavier el Fassy and his . By the river the board read and Pospiech's exit was confirmed.
Ole Schemion's ISPT run has come to an end. His last 360,000 went in preflop with against Jakub Michalak's which hit a jack on the turn of the board. It's not been a good day for the Germans at the ISPT so far.
Michael Maruna raised to 55,000 preflop with just 181,000 behind from UTG and Ferhad Seyadi flat-called in the small blind playing a stack of about 400,000. Praz Bansi made it 120,000 from the big blind.
Despite having put in almost a quarter of his short stack, Maruna tanked for a couple of minutes before folding.
Seyadi quickly and unexpectedly four-bet to around 250,000 and Bansi set him in for the rest.

There was an open to 40,000 from mid position, before a raise from Andre Moreira in the small blind to 92,000. Damien Bas in the big blind thought for a while before 4-betting to 214,000.
The initial bettor released his hand and with the action back on Moreira he thought for a good few minutes before calling Bas’s bet.
A small crowd gathered around, excited about the prospect of a huge pot developing. A camera turned up and was trained on the action. Rob Young who had been passing through stopped to watch the action. Everyone held their breath as the dealer prepared to deal the flop.

Moreira again took his time, his demeanour impossible to read. The minutes ticked by. He counted the chips out and slid them across the line.
The turn was
Bas contemplated the board and his hand tapped the table. Action on Moreira.
“All in.” Moreira declared.
Bas visibly deflated and slumped back in his seat. He took out his ear buds and leant forward. Then he stood up, his watch falling from his wrist onto the table. The crowd looked on, hushed and expectant.
Bas called the floor over and asked, “Am I allowed to say what I have?” The floor confirmed that he could indeed announce his hand. Moreira jammed his headphones on and buried his head in his hands, a little humour in a desperately tense situation.
Bas seemed at last to make up his mind. He pulled one card towards him and started to turn in over. The crowd craned their necks. Bas was folding. He showed the

Albiges had just doubled up Ole Schemion with against on a flop and the rest of his stack went into the middle when Schemion raised to 45,000 under the gun and Janot called on the button. Albiges called in the small blind and the dealer placed the flop onto the felt.
Albiges and Schemion checked to Janot who bet 75,000. Albiges instantly moved all in for 300,000 and once Schemion folded Janot called.
