Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

In a tournament of rather bijou proportions (no official numbers yet but it looks as though Day 1a has drawn around 180 players), it has taken a while for a real Table Of Death to emerge, but our patience has been rewarded. Right now the scariest table in the room features Sorel Mizzi (now switched from It's a Wonderful Life on his ipad to South Park), Dan Murariu, reigning champion Jan Skampa and Michael Tureniec.

Murariu, winner of the €1,000 heads-up side event at EPT Barcelona a few weeks ago, had a stroke of good luck when he check-called 3,100 on the turn of a {k-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {k-Clubs} board and then checked the {2-Clubs} river. His opponent checked behind, and Murariu flipped {k-Spades} {q-Diamonds} for a rivered full house. His opponent flashed his cards only very briefly, but there was at least one six there, and it wouldn't surprise us at all if there had been another one there to keep it company.
