A couple of "raise and take it" hands saw blinds and antes being stolen and David Abbas has already done so twice on the feature table to increase his stack. Besides this, the action of the shorter stacks has been very careful thus far.

Picking up the action on the 
flop, Julien Bolimowski out of the blinds and initial raiser David Hefner checked. Bolimowski then check-raised the 
turn to 115,000 and received a rather quick call. The 
river was checked through and Hefner said he would have snap-called a bet as well.
Bolimowski was the first after the button and showed 
for a gutshot that didn't arrive, Hefner had the

Fred Weiss opened to 48,000 from the cutoff and called the three-bet to 151,000 by David Hefner in the big blind. On the 
flop, Hefner fired 85,000 and was called before the turn was the Swede worth a second barrel of 116,000. Again Weiss called and then faced a 250,000 bet on the 
river.

It was a rather bad day at the office for Michael Lancri and he just open-shoved for what looked like 400,000 from the button. Karl Stark made the call out of the small blind and they tabled the cards:
Stark: 
Lancri: 
The Swede improved on the flop and hit two pair on the 
turn. Lancri was not drawing dead yet as any ace, six or ten would have secured the double up. Instead, it was the that appeared on the river and Stark let out a "sorry about that" with a very typical Scandinavian accent.

but failed to deal the final blow to the of Kleiven.
The board ran out
