On the button, Luca Pagano raised to 2,200. The small blind called and David Penly then shoved out of the big blind for what looked like 24,500. Pagano called and the small blind quickly let go.

The board came 
and Penly eventually failed to complete a gutshot.
Another PokerStars Team Pro is thriving, as Jake Cody has built his stack up even more. Darren Delahunty next to him went the other way around and just became one of the recent casualties.

Players are on a short 15-minute break.
Just when the players headed out of the tournament room to go into their break, Ian Nelson walked by and said "you missed it, 150k pot kings versus queens - he flopped a queen." The opponent that wasn't done stacking yet is Tiago Freitas, who joined the chip leaders.

Johnson moved all in and Fletcher called to see the bad news. Johnson had 
while Fletcher needed a whole heap of luck with his

It didn’t come as the board ran out 
and the aces held to bust Fletcher.

Simon Ravnsbaek raised from the button and Robert Heidorn defended the big blind. The 
flop went check, check, and Heidorn bet the 
turn for 3,700. Ravnsbaek called and did so again reluctantly for 9,500 on the river. Heidorn rolled over 
for top pair and scooped the pot.
Soon after, the German won an even bigger pot when holding pocket kings and check-shoved a ten-high flop. Adrian Mateos had pocket jacks and found no help on a blank turn and river.
Heidorn didn't slow down after that either and won another two pots to essentially double his stack.
