Philippe Wettstein had already checked from the blinds on by the time we got to the table. PokerStars Team Pro Celina Lin, presumably the initial raiser, bet 3,300 from early position. Wettstein made the call.
The on the turn saw Wettstein check again. Lin made a bet of 5,700 with about 10,000 or so behind. Wettstein shoved all in and Lin called immediately.

Ole Schemion just raised to 2,500 and one player called before Vladimir Dobrovolskiy three-bet to 8,800. The action folded back to Schemion, and he gave it some thought before sliding forward most of this chips.
The second player involved folded and Dobrovolskiy moved all in, illiciting a snap-call from the German pro for 41,200 total.

An interesting table hosts Erwann Pecheux, Faraz Jaka and Steven van Zadelhoff but neither of them was involved in the most recent showdown. Pierre-Henri Ligier open-shoved his last 15,500 and was called by Peter Akery, who had just won a bigger pot a few minutes ago. Everyone else folded and they tabled the cards.

The flop improved the Frenchman, but turn and river gave Akery a full house.
As we arrived, Patrik Antonius was already stacking all the chips and we just caught Fabrice Soulier making his exit. Justin Bonomo told us what had happened.
Antonius had raised under the gun and Dominik Nitsche had shoved with pocket sevens. Soulier then shoved over the top with pocket queens, but Antonius was waiting for them both with aces. Five blanks later and Nitsche and Soulier left for the rail while Antonius build a chip castle worth 150,000 or so.
Markku Koplimaa came into the day among the leaders and it appears power poker will be the order of the day, as he's fired his way up and over 200,000 now.
His latest effort involved raising the cutoff to 2,700, and after the big blind called, and checked the , Koplimaa fired again, making it 2,400.
The big blind folded and Koplimaa chipped up again.
Not long ago, Pierre Calamusa had a deep run in the EPT Dublin Main Event thanks to a very aggressive style and the French online player doesn't have any huge live score yet. But the Winamax Pro bagged up a decent stack on Day 1b and already increased that today as well.
Calamusa opened to 2,500 and was called by Saar Wilf in the big blind, who then announced a check in the dark. Calamusa continued for 2,500 on the flop and Wilf check-called before leading the turn for 5,000. Calamusa called before both checked the river. Wilf's scooped the pot, as Calamusa mucked.
Dario Sammartino just raised to 2,500 and Manig Loeser three-bet from his left to 8,100. The action folded back to Sammartino and he moved all in to put Loeser at risk. Loeser called to create a pot worth around 90,000 chips, and the showdown went as following.

The board ran out and Loeser was sent to the rail.
Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier made it 2,400 and got called in two spots, including the big blind.
The big blind checked the flop and Mercier continued for 3,400. The third player in the hand tanked it out for a bit before folding and the big blind notched it up to 10,100.
Mercier was forced to fold, leaving him about 15 big blinds behind.
