Neuville Sits Down, Wins
Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
Pierre Neuville played Day 2 of the €5,300 King's High Roller earlier today but became one of the first eliminations by losing a flip to Eugene Katchalov. The 2015 November Niner quickly shrugged it off and bought himself in for the Main Event.
In one of his first hands of the day, Neuville was holding 
and facing a 3,500 bet from Saevar Saevarsson on a 
board. Neuville simply called and Saevarsson reluctantly showed 
for a way worse holding.

Kamaras Pays Off Snasel
Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
Peter Kamaras is always a welcome sight at any poker tournament. With his friendly demeanor and glorious beard, Kamaras instantly sticks out in a crowd of poker enthusiasts.
Holding pocket queens, Kamaras bet 5,150 on an 
board. His opponent Michal Snasel snap-shoved all-in for 15,000. Kamaras took nearly three minutes to come to a decision, counting all the possible combinations Snasel could have.
Eventually, Kamaras called but Snasel showed him the bad news with 
. Kamaras slipped to 11,000, still plenty of room at this stage.

Good Start for Plotnikov

on a 
board.
Plotnikov bet 5,000 on the turn and 5,000 on the river and got calls from Eric Lescot, who couldn't defeat Plotnikov's flush.
