Vamplew Bites Back
Nível 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
The action folded round to Anton Astapau in the small blind who was sitting on a healthy stack of nearly double his initial chips. He opened for 600 and big blind David Vamplew made the call. Astapau had a look at Vaplew’s stack of 16,000 before they went to a flop of 
.
Astapau check-called a bet of 700 from Vamplew before they went to the turn card 
. A further check saw Vamplew continue for 2,500. Astapau weighed it up for a couple minutes before electing to give the Scottish pro the benefit of the doubt and passing his cards to the dealer.

Frankland Frankly Can't Call
Nível 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
We missedn the pre flop action, but on a flop of 
Mathew Frankland bet out 850 from the hijack after two checks.
The player in the big blind check raised to 2,800 and the player under the gun instantly folded. Frankland called though, and the Brit called the 3,500 bet on the 
turn as well. The 
completed the board and the big blind bet out 5,500. Frankland thought about it for just a bit before releasing his hand.
What did Frankland have? Will the puns with Mathew Frankland's last name ever stop? We will never know.

Big Blind El-Hoss
Nível 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Amedeo Chieregato opened from early position for 500 and picked up three callers including the button, small bind Dmitry Yurasov and big blind Ghassan El-Hoss.
A flop of 
saw it checked to Chieregato who fired out 1,000. Yurasov mucked but the other players called.
The turn 
saw Chieregato continue to apply pressure with a bet of 3,000 and this time it was only El-Hoss who continued in the pot. The river saw a check from El-Hoss and the white flag from Chieregato who glumly nodded when El-Hoss showed him the 
bad news.

Vieira Gets Lucky
Nível 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
On a flop of 
we saw Joao Vieira check from the small blind. The player in the hijack checked as well and the cutoff made a bet of 650. Vieira check raised to 2,025 and the hijack instantly folded. The cutoff made the call though.
Vieira bet another 2,200 on the turn and the cutoff called once more. The 
fell on the river and Vieira thought for some time before checking. The cutoff checked behind and mucked reluctantly after Vieira showed 
for two pair.
With these odd chips being used here, it's sometimes hard to tell how much a particular player has. If we counted correctly, the Portuguese high roller has just under 40,000 while his opponent was bad beated back to about 7,200.

Panka is off to a flier here today in the Main Event amassing close to 63,000 after just two and a half levels of play. The ice cool Polish player will be hoping this venue continues to treat him kindly.

So Long Fomekong
Nível 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Richard Fomekong has just been eliminated. From the very early stages of the day it didn’t look as if he had been enjoying himself nor hitting any cards. On a flop of 
he shoved all in for 9,500 and his opponent made a slightly surprised enquiry about the bet before making the call and showing 
.
Fomekong wasn’t happy about the whole situation, turning over his 
and gathering his belongings. The turn 
and river 
completed the board and Fomekong exited the tournament area uttering a string of French oaths under his breaths.
