Mangroe's Raise Takes the Pot
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
The board read 
with around 6,000 in the middle.
Francisco Marti led out for 3,000 from the big blind and was called by Michal Mrakes in the under-the-gun position. Firoz Mangroe raised to 15,000 in the hijack and action was back on Marti. Marti contemplated for a while but opted to fold in the end and so did Mrakes.

Gieles Needs to Reenter
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
Michael Bogers raised to 700 from the early position and action folded to Luuk Gieles in the big blind who three-bet to 2,000. Bogers responded with a four-bet shove which Gieles called for his last 7,700 or so. Bogers held 
while Gieles had

No help came on the board as Gieles was sent to the cashier to reenter. Gieles did so and has now been seated in the poker tournament area on the lower level.

Riess Joins the Fun
Level 2
: 100/100, 100 ante
Ryan Riess has just joined the field and took a seat at the same table as Fatima Moreira De Melo, Josip Simunic, and Toan Nguyen.
He got involved immediately as the board read 
with just over 3,000 in the middle. Simunic led out for 3,000 from the middle position and Riess was considering his options from the cutoff. After a while, Riess took one more look at his cards before pushing them over the line for the fold.
