The 2013 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo? Casino EPT Grand Final
We caught the action on the very last hand before the break when Dani Stern raised to 48,000 from the small blind. Igor Kurganov, sitting in the big blind, had one 25,000-chip out in front of him as the action was back on him.
Kurganov proceeded put in another raise up to 85,000 and Stern went into the tank. Stern eventually moved all in and Kurganov folded with 125,000 chips left behind.

Mikhail Smirnov just eliminated Philipp Gruissem and that means his second bullet is a lot better so far than his first. We heard that Gruissem moved all in on a board and was called by Smirnov's . Gruissem had and missed his straight draw.
Gruissem is likely to re buy and sit back down in this event.

Four levels have been completed, and the players have gone on a 20-minute break. See you back here shortly.
Another player has hit the rail here in the €100,000 Super High Roller, and this time it was 2012 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event runner-up Sergii Baranov.
Baranov was all in preflop with the against the . It was gathered from the chatter at the table following the display of the hands that Seiver made what looked like way too good of a squeeze play that caused Baranov to shove in. Seiver actually had a hand, which Baranov didn't like to see.
The flop came down , and despite being well behind preflop, Baranov spiked three fours to take the lead. His dreams would be short lived, though, as the on the turn vaulted Seiver right back in front with a full house. The river completed the board with the , and Baranov was out the door.

Last night, before Daniel Negreanu busted out of the €10,000 Main Event final table in fourth place, he took a big beat against fellow Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden. After the money went in preflop, Lodden's pocket nines spiked a set to crack Negreanu's two queens. From there, Negreanu just couldn't recover.
This time, Negreanu was the one with two nines cracking an overpair, so one could probably say, what goes around comes around.
From the hijack seat, Joseph Cheong raised to 4,000. Mikhail Smirnov called in the cutoff seat, then Negreanu three-bet to 15,500 from the small blind. This was the second hand in a row that Cheong had opened, Smirnov flatted behind and Negreanu three-bet from one of the blinds. Cheong moved all in for 51,000, and Smirnov folded. Negreanu made the call.
Negreanu was behind at the start with the to Cheong's , but the flop put "Kid Poker" in front. The turn was the and the river the , giving Negreanu the win and sending Cheong to the rail.
