Lech Gets Value From Di Nicola

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Lech limped in from under the gun as action folded to Ermanno Di Nicola on the button, who fumbled his chips before putting in a raise to 35,000.

"That's a sign that it's all about to crumble down," Lech said as he called. The flop came {7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Di Nicola continued for 31,000. Lech called and both players checked the {3-Hearts} turn.

The river came the {7-Spades} and Lech led out for 47,000. Di Nicola spent some time in the tank before calling as Lech turned over {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Di Nicola mucked, saying he had pocket nines as he gave up the pot.

Elsewhere, Samir Mrad, Nina Krasilnikova, and Konstantin Generalov have all had their Day 3 come to an early end.
