Sophia White has more than doubled since her last chip count update and she just raised to 1,200 from the hijack. Three opponents including Marius Gicovanu in the cutoff and both players in the blinds called. On the 
flop, action checked to White and she bet 2,500. Gicovanu and the small blind both called and the 
turn was checked through.
After the 
river, the small blind checked and subsequently folded after a bet of 5,000 by White and a call by Gicovanu. White rolled over 
and Gicovanu chopped it up with the

Sandu Ganor limped in for 600 and short stack Robert Marin shoved for 7,700 on the button. Sorin Caraciobanu called in the big blind and Ganor folded.
Robert Marin: 
Sorin Caraciobanu: 
The board came 
and Ganor banged his hand on the table when the king fell on the turn, then added "I should have called." The player from Israel certainly had the chips to do so with three times the starting stack.

Fredrik Bergmann had started well but his tournament has since come to a crushing end. He lost a big pot with second nut flush versus full house and soon after busted when his opponent got there with a gutshot straight draw.
Also on the rail are Michael Magalashvili, Mihai Niste, Zvi Bresler and Florin Nicula. The latter four-bet for 12,000 with 
and three-bettor Robert Vukovic called with pocket eights to win the flip.

George Petrica raised to 1,500 and Mohamed Kerkeni three-bet to 5,100 in the small blind. Adrian-Sorel State moved all in for 17,975 out of the big blind and Petrica reshoved for 19,400. Kerkeni reluctantly folded, claiming "Petrica" was too strong and State said "I am strong too" before turning over his

Petrica had a flip with 
for most of his stack and held up as the board ran out 
. "What did you have?" State asked Kerkeni, who replied "queen five off, I had you beat." He then counted his stack while Jenny Israel walked over to ask what happened.

Chiriac raised to 1,500 and reluctantly called the shove of Agica for 12,500 with the 
. Agica turned over 
and saw the board run out 
to give Chiriac a flush with his small kicker.
