Igin and Soussan Leading

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Viacheslav Igin was listed as the chip leader after dinner break and Ben Soussan has just caught up with the Russian. Soussan opened to 2,600 from the cutoff and received one call before the player in the big blind squeezed to 7,200. Just Soussan called and the Frenchman took it down with a bet worth 8,700 on the {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} turn.

"It just depends whether you believe me or not. You don't like it but you did (folded) well" Soussan said.

Luberspere Busts Naim

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Arriving on the river of a {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} board, Boutros Naim called the shove of Remy Luberspere and was at risk of elimination. Luberspere showed the {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} for a full house and the Lebanese sighed, flashed his {K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a turned flush and then joined the rail.

Also out: Romain Lewis and Walter Buss.

"Grande" Salah

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On table two that now also features Vyatcheslav Igin, Joshua Wolters opened to 2,500 and was called by Amran Salah from one seat over. Both players checked the {2-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} flop and Salah then took it down with a small bet once the {A-Diamonds} fell on the turn.

It was no huge hand by any means but gave us the opportunity to update the count. Salah, who is wearing a cap with the word "Grande" on it, moved up to six digits and has almost twice the current average.

Montury Still In

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Mosjin El Yakoubi flat-called a raise to 3,100 by Vincent Verdickt and Jean Montury then shoved the big blind for 10,500. Verdickt squeezed to 29,100 and El Yakoubi wasn't happy at all, he took a lot of time for his decision and folded when the clock had been called on him.

The Dutchman flashed {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Verdickt had a similar hand in {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, making sure the EPT Malta champion was in great shape with his {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. The board ran out {8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Montury more than doubled up.

What was that?

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Nobody really followed what was actually going on, just that [Removed:247] hit a runner runner straight with the monster hand {4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} on a board of {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. His opponent Tigran Yazychyan was left with the head shaking and less than 15 big blinds remaining.

One thing is for sure, [Removed:250] is riding a very dangerous and slippery slope as of lately.
