Dominik Nitsche opened to 7,000 from under the gun and Igor Kurganov then made it 41,000 out of the small blind before calling off his stack of around 180,000 to the shove of Nitsche.

The board ran out and the pair of nines held for Nitsche to send Kurganov to the rail.
Mustapha Kanit is no longer in the €10,000 High Roller field. 'lasagnaaammm' as he is known online won't be adding this tournament to the €25,000 High Roller crown he won at the beginning of the festival.
Also joining him on the rail is Mohsin Charania's whose failed to improve against the of Andrew Lichtenberger on a board.
David Vamplew was spotted all in not long ago to steal the blinds and antes and one orbit later he defended his big blind against a raise by Mark Radoja. The former EPT Main Event champion then shoved his short stack on the turn and Radoja snap-called without asking for a count.
Vamplew had the for bottom pair and a flush draw while Radoja's had made a set of jacks. The river was of no help for the Scot and he headed to the rail.
In half an hour from now at 12.30 p.m. local time, the second and penultimate day of the 2016 PokerStars EPT12 Dublin €10,300 High Roller gets underway at the Royal Dublin Society.
So far, a field of 181 entries including 42 second bullets has been created and 80 players bagged up. However, new participants and those that busted on their first attempt can still enter the competition before the first card is dealt to take a shot at the juicy prize pool.
Leading the field thus far is Dominik Nitsche and the German has a more than solid track record during High Roller Events in this festival. He took down the €2,000 UKIPT High Roller for a payday of €156,160 in the morning and then jumped into the €10k Single-Day High Roller later on that day to finish second to Charlie Carrel for another €139,450. Carrel won't be any threat for him this time around, as the young Brit busted both bullets on Day 1. Same also applied for Andrew Chen, PokerStars Team Pro Andre Akkari and Ivan Luca as well.
Other big stacks include 10k Single-Day 4th place finisher Mark Radoja (280,000), Jerry Odeen (250,000), Sam Greenwood (248,300), Ben Heath (240,300), Felix Bleiker (212,000) and PokerStars Team Pro Jason Mercier (189,300).
Plenty of other big names of the international circuit are still in with a shot at glory on Irish soil and the action recommences with level 11 and blinds of 1,000-2,000 and a running ante of 300. New entrants will start with 25 big blinds and a maximum of ten 60-minute levels are scheduled or until the final table of the last eight is reached, whichever of the two comes first.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to cover the action until a winner is crowned on Saturday, so make sure to tune back in regularly.
