Konstantinov Aleksandr Valerevish is up to 175,000 after taking a funky line, that worked, against Martin Jacobson.
The Swede opened to 2,500 and called when Valerevish three-bet to 6,200 from the big blind. The flop came 
and the Russian check-raised Jacobson's 6,100 bet up to 14,000.
Jacobson called to see the 
turn but folded to his opponent's 15,000 bet and dropped down to 46,000 chips.
We joined the action on a board of 
. Jeremy Nock had checked to Paolo Della Penna and he bet 3,700 and Nock made the quick call. The turn was the 
and Nock led this time, making a bet of 6,000 and Della Penna made the call. The river was the 
and again Nock led for 8,000 and Della Penna made what seemed to be an easy call.
| Nock |   |
| Della Penna |   |
Both players searching for the straight but the ace handing Della Penna the pot.
Nock ~ 100,000
Della Penna ~ 53,000
Roberto Romanello has very been afraid to put his money where his mouth and he has started to try and push his table mates around. Before the break he moved all in against Vincenzo Apicella and now he has done similar against Sami Kelopuro.
Romanello raised to 2,800 from middle position and after the next two players folded Sami Kelopuro made the call. Everyone else folded and the dealer got busy putting out the 
flop. Romanello quickly bet 4,100 and Kelopuro queried the bet because Romanello put in a yellow 5,000 chip and a black 1,000 chip but the Welshman clearly said he wanted to bet 4,100. It did not matter because Kelopuro called anyway.
The turn was the 
and now Romanello checked. Kelopuro waited less than 15 seconds before he bet 9,300 but as soon as these chips were over the betting line, Romanello had moved his stack in. Just as quickly Kelopuro folded.
Here are a couple four-bets for you.
One gets the feeling that Team PokerStars Pro Arnaud Mattern has been living constantly on the knife edge this tournament. Since he lost chips early on Day 1A he's never been in a critical position but never, seemingly, been over 40 big blinds. That "In between" stack play is what separates the bad from the good and the good from the great tournament players. Decisions in this bracket are so crucial and that makes them so difficult.
The Frenchman just took down a pot to move up to 38,000 or 31.6 big blinds. He was sat in the small blind and completed. Priit Turner checked his option from the big blind and the flop came 
.
Mattern led for 1,900 before Turner raised it up to 4,800. Mattern was having none of it and pushed all-in. Turner thought for a minute before folding. Mattern flashed us (and only us) his holding of 
.
PokerStars qualifier Stuart Fox raised to 2,500 in the hijack, Artem Litvinov cold-called in the cut-off and Praz Bansi three-bet squeezed to 7,700 from the small blind. Fox moved out of the way and Litvinov pulled out the 7,700 and VERY reluctantly dropped the call across the line.
Flop: 
Bansi bet 8,500.
"That is my flop," said the Russian before burying his hands in his face. He then pulled the 8,500 from his diminishing stack, dropped it across the line and buried his hands in his face.
Turn:
Litvinov refused to move his head from his hands. Bansi looked at him and just shook his head as if to say "what a wally," and then said "I am all-in."
Litvinov decided the time was right to look at the turn card and when he saw it he folded the 
face up and Bansi now has 100,000.
Joe Ebanks cannot stop winning chips and he now finds himself with 131,300 of them after disposing of Alexei Veselov over on Table 8.
Stefan Jedlicka opened from under the gun to 2,500, the next two players to act folded and Ebanks three-bet to 6,200. Arvi Vainionkulma waited for almost a minute before folding his hand and when Matthias Lotze folded, Veselov moved all in. Everyone folded back to Ebanks and he instantly called and turned over 
which were way in front of Veselov 
.
The final board ran out 
and Veselov was eliminated from the Main Event. In Veselov's seat we now have a certain Jeff Sarwer.
Team PokerStars SportStar Fatima Moreira de Melo had been on bowl patrol since Sami Kelopuro took most of her chips earlier. He's now taken the rest.
She raised from under-the-gun to 2,800 and was called by the big stacked Vicenzo Apicella before the Finnish star made it 8,300 from the big blind. Moreira de Melo snap moved all-in for 23,300 and and Apicella folded to leave it heads-up.
Moreira de Melo: 
Kelopuro:
The board ran 
to make Kelopuro trip kings. He's up to 135,000 now.
