Team PokerStars had somewhere in the region of 20 Team Pros play this event, but now there is only one.
Newly signed Team Pro: Italy Salvatore Bonavena, who took down EPT Prague in 2008 as well as the Venice IPT in January before finishing 10th at the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo this April, is the sole remaining representative of Team PokerStars. He's currently sitting on around a million in chips - a little above average - and with his endgame experience, he could be looking at a WSOP bracelet come tomorrow to add to his already impressive record.
Hungcheng Hung opened to 52,000 from under the gun and action folded all the way to James "mig.com" Mackey in the big blind who re-raised to 175,000. Hung tank-called.

and Mackey check-called 100,000 from Hung.
The turn was the 
and Mackey checked again. Hung fired 300,000 leaving less than 200,000 behind, and Mackey immediately moved all in. Hung looked like he had been caught red handed, but shrugged and called anyway.

Hung: 
Wow.
Both players had just ace-high and Hung was on a massive freeroll. The river was red though, 
, and the two chopped the pot.

Tomer Berda opened to 75,000 from the hijack seat before Jonathan Duthamel moved all in for 449,000 more with the button. Action folded back to Berda who went into the tank. He cut out enough chips to call and riffled them with both hands before finally sliding them forward.
Berda: 
Duthamel: 
The dealer wrapped the table and then delivered the flop; 
. Although Duthamel didn't make a pair, he was drawing very live with two overs and a flush draw.
The 
on the turn gave Berda a set of nines and took away Duthamel's pair outs, but now any jack would give him a winning straight.
Did we say jack?
The 
spiked on the river, filling Duthamel's gut-shot straight draw and doubling him to 1,150,000 chips. Berda slipped to 1,050,000.
Craig Marquis moved all in over the top of a raise from Vladimir Kochelaevskiy. Kochelaevskiy called with 
which had Marquis'

flop. Berda checked to Bonavena who bet 100,000. Duhamel raised to 265,000 and Berda folded. Bonavena called, though, and they saw the turn.
The turn came down the and Bonavena checked. Duhamel bet 275,000 this time, and Bonavena responded by raising all in for 443,000 more. Duhamel called, and sighed when he saw Bonavena's hand.
Duhamel: 
for top pair and a flush draw
Bonavena: 
for the made flush
River: a harmless
Bonavena doubled up again, and the hapless Duhamel was crippled to just 60,000.
Next hand, Christian Jeppsson open-shoved from the cutoff and Duhamel called all in from the big blind. More woe followed for Duhamel, but it was mercifully brief and he took home 15th place money for his trouble.
Jeppsson: 
Duhamel: dominating with
Board: bink!
