Dominique Terzian raised to 1,700 and was called by Stefano Garbarino as well as the player in the big blind. On a flop of 
, the player in the big blind bet and Terzian was pained to fold, Garbarino could do so without a massive headache at an average stack.
Fabrice Somers already complained about not getting any decent cards and Pascal Vos also showed up in the secondary tournament area.
Patrick Renkers must have lasted less than an orbit, because he was among the dozen of players who bowed out just after the tournament had resumed with level nine. Another more well known Dutchman that didn't make it either is Niels van Leeuwen.
The table of Isabel Baltazar has been broken and she got moved to the main area, facing a raise to 1,800 by Henry Szmelcer. Baltazar called and then Dieter van Itterbeeck raised to 4,700 from the button. Somehow neither of his opponents was willing to invest any more chips and the Belgian raked in the pot.
Until the end of level nine, registration remains open and two players took advantage of the option to buy in late. Among the two players who joined very recently was Patrick Renkers and the overall attendance is now 390 entries.

Tournament director Christian Scalzi has sent all players into a 75-minute dinner break. We also have ourselves something to eat as well.
It has been rather silent on the table of Matas Cimbolas, which is very unusual for the Lithuanian. The very same opponent that had just doubled him up not long ago raised the 2,600-bet of Cimbolas on a flop of 
to 6,200 from the cutoff. Cimbolas then jammed out of the big blind and enforced a fold with his opponent flashing the

"Good fold," Cimbolas said with a grin on the face.
Martin Mulsow had shown up late for the second starting day and wasn't even spotted until now, when he walked past the media desk and confirmed his elimination. He opened to 1,300 from middle position and was called by two opponents including Björn Wiesler. On a flop of 
, Mulsow continued for 3,000 and one opponent called before the German check-raised all in after a 
turn.
His opponent tanked for a few minutes after putting in 4,500 himself and then called the 16,000 shove with 
for two pair. Mulsow was bluffing with 
and couldn't find a nine for the straight anymore.
After a limp and a raise to 1,300, Jerome Sgorrano clicked it to 4,050 and was met with a very reluctant reraise of Danny van Zijp to 9,000. Sgorrano called to find a flop of and called all in with
