Pierre Canali raised from under the gun to 700. Scott Fischman called from middle position and Alexander Kravchenko called from the big blind.
The flop came down 
and Kravchenko was up first. He checked and action moved to the preflop raiser. Canali fired 1,200 and Fischman called behind him. Kravchenko also called.
The turn brought the 
to the board and all three players checked to see the 
added on the river. Kravchenko fired out 2,500 and both of his opponents folded. Kravchenko moved to 37,000 in chips with this pot.
After a player limped in from middle position, November Niner Joseph Cheong raised to 1,025. Ted Lawson flat-called from the cutoff seat and then Erik Seidel called from the button. The limper also made the call and play was four-handed to the flop.
The flop came down 
and the limper wasted no time in firing out 3,000. Cheong, Lawson and Seidel all folded and the limper tossed over the 
. Not so sure you want to give these guys knowledge of what you held, sir.
Jonathan "Fatal Error" Aguiar had led out for 1,000 on a 
flop only to be raised to 3,000 by his opponent. Aguiar made the call then checked the turn where he saw a 5,000 chip bet fired at him. Aguiar made it 13,000 and his opponent thought for a minute before moving all-in, Aguiar instantly called with 
only needing to fade a ten or eight since his opponent flipped 
.
The river was the 
and Aguiar shipped a huge pot, he's up to 57,000.

Harry Kaczka raised from the cutoff seat to 800. Eugene Katchalov called from the small blind and Michel Abecassis called from the big blind.
A flop of 
was spread for the three players and Katchalov was up first. He fired 1,600 into his two opponents and they both folded. Katchalov was pushed the pot and pushed his stack to 49,000.
Fabian Quoss, recent English Poker Open winner and previous WSOP runner-up in 2009, has extended some impressive early chip towers ceilingwards at this year's WSOPE £10k event, in the pursuit of an elusive bracelet. His most recent acquisition: the remaining stack of Rick Solomon. Quoss was not to be shaken by his opponent's betting the turn or river of a board which stayed low until the final card: 
...
at which point Solomon immediately moved all in for his remaining chips (about 12k by this point). Quoss called with 
and was shown 
as his opponent headed for the rail.
Under the gun, Brent Roberts opened to 900, and he found calls from Toby Lewis (in position) and Scott Fischman (big blind).
The three of them went to a flop of 
, and Fischman knocked the table. Roberts continued out with a bet of 1,700, Lewis called, and Fischman folded out of the way to let them go heads up.
That led them to the 
turn, and Roberts fired another bullet, 4,200 this time. Lewis took a bit of a pause to stare, but he confidently plucked the calling chips from his stack and flicked them into the pot.
The filled out the board, and Roberts kept the heat on. A third bullet worth 8,500 chips came from his corner, and that sent Lewis deep into the tank for several long minutes. Maybe he just wanted to enjoy his massage for a few uninterrupted minutes. Eventually, after cutting out the call and giving a long, hard stare over at "Astrolux85" before frowning and returning his cards to the dealer face-down.
Lewis - 33,500
Roberts - 51,000
Simon Persson has quietly been building up his stack to 78,000, one of the largest in the downstairs room, with a headphone-wearing calm which may lull his opponents into a false sense of security. He dented Isabelle Mercier's stack ever so slightly in his last confrontation, calling her preflop raise, check-calling her flop bet on the 
before leading out for 3,225 on the turn. She pondered for a short while before making the call. The river was the and Persson bet out again - this time 3,700. This time the reaction was completely different - an instant hurl of her hand into the muck.
