Gnatenko Uses Third One-Time Chip

Level 3

Oleksandr Gnatenko was heard using hid third one time chip after getting his stack in versus Rocco Palumbo. The first two (in previous heats) must've been duds but the latest one worked.

Palumbo opened from the button and called when Gnatenko three-bet all in from the small blind for 7,675.

Gnatenko: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Palumbo: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The board ran {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts} to make the Ukrainian a better two pair.

Selbst Eliminated

Level 3

Ami Barer opened for 1,200 from early position and got a call from the button. Vanessa Selbst in the big blind squeezed all in and Barer instantly called. The button folded and the cards went on their backs.

Ami Barer: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Vanessa Selbst: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and Selbst hit the rail. Time for some dinner for the Team PokerStars Pro, as there wont be a scheduled dinner break. Something at least Patrick Bruel isn't too happy with.

Palumbo Eliminated

Level 3
Rocco Palumbo
Rocco Palumbo

Rocco Palumbo has been eliminated from Heat 3. He got it in with queen ten against the eight nine of Alex Bilokur. We're unsure when the chips went in, but Bilokur supposedly hit a gutshot to eliminate Palumbo, if we understood the Italian telling his country mate good enough.

Danzer Dazzles With Aces

Level 3

George Danzer was hinting he wasn't pulling his weight towards Team Germany's total so far, but he's in with a good chance of going deep in Heat 3 after he coolered Ivan Soshnikov.

Danzer was in the cutoff with {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} and Soshnikov was in the blinds with {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. It doesn't take Sherlock to figure out what happened.

The board ran {j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} to send the Russian to the rail.

Schemion and Mizzi Bust at the Hand of Gnatenko

Level 3
Oleksandr Gnatenko
Oleksandr Gnatenko

Ole Schemion first doubled up Isaac Haxton when he called Haxton's shove on {5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} with {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Haxton had {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Schemion was left with about 4,500 after a blank on the river.

Schemion shoved not much later and Sorel Mizzi right next to him shoved as well.

"It's amazing, three way all in!" yelled Oleksandr Gnatenko before he over shoved.

Mizzi: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Schemion: {K-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Gnatenko: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Gnatenko eliminated two players in one hand.

Just Ukraine (Gnatenko), France (Grospellier), USA (Haxton) and Russia (Bilokur) remain at table 2. The bubble has burst.
