Joni Jouhkimainen:
Jouhkimainen's snowmen found a friend on the board to improve to a set and two players seats were empty.
Bruno Volkmann opened for 12,000 from under the gun and was called by Rui Ferreira from the hijack, Artur Martirosian from the small blind, and Aleksejs Ponakovs from the big blind.
The quartet of players all checked the flop. Martirosian led out for 37,925 on the turn and was called by both Ponakovs and Volkmann.
The river completed the board and the action checked over to Volkmann who bet 147,777. Martirosian had slightly less than this in his stack and called, while Ponakovs folded.
Volkmann had air on the river with and Martirosian doubled up with second pair after he turned over .

Lev "LevMeAlone" Gottlieb:
Eelis Parssinen:
Both players flopped a set on a complete cooler of a hand for Parssinen. He was unable to get a one-outer on neither the turn nor on the river and was down to just one big blind.
Christian Rudolph managed to scoop that up along with a tasty $6,250 bounty on the next hand when his got there against Parssinen's .
We haven't seen the end of Parssinen as he got back into the tournament after the hand for his second bullet.
Artur Martirosian opened for 15,400 from early position before Rui Ferreira three-bet to 51,800 from the button. Artur Martirosian four-bet shoved for 383,035 and Ferreira called to set-up a huge pot.

Rui Ferreira:
The board was all under Ferreira's tens but this wasn't good enough to beat cowboys and Martirosian doubled his stack.
Isaac Haxton opened for 15,400 from the hijack before he called a three-bet by Artur Martirosian from the button to 42,000.
Haxton check-raised the flop from 25,375 to 59,500. Martirosian jammed and Haxton called off for 152,266.
Isaac Haxton:
Artur Martirosian:
It was looking good for Martirosian to collect a bounty and move into the chip lead but that was not to be as Haxton improved to a straight after the turn and river appeared on the board.
Michael Addamo eliminated a short-stacked Pascal Hartmann after his held against his opponent's on the board to become the first player to surge past 1 million in chips in the Thursday Thrill.
