2013 PCA Main Event champion Dimitar Danchev has re-entered the competition as expected and now sits on table nine seat one.
Aristidis Theodoridis was on the same table but since two players busted from table eight, he got moved right back to where he was sitting not long ago. With less chips though, as the Greek is down to about one third of the starting stack.
Joining the action on the turn, Alper Kostem and his opponent both committed 2,000 chips to the pot and the action was then checked to Kostem on the river. He tossed in a blue T-5,000 chip and that was enough to enforce a fold.
It wouldn't take long for Aristidis Theodoridis on his initial table to get involved again, however that was not crowned by much fortune. The Greek just appeared in the bustout list.
Marko Mikovic bet 800 into a pot of 1,400 on the river of a and was called by Marco Della Tommasina only to see the Italian muck rather frustrated. Mikovic claimed the pot with pocket sixes for a straight.
