Not to be confused with the Portuguese midfielder that plays for Manchester United, France's Bruno Fernandes saw his stack reduced to zero within two hands.
He first looked up the short stack shove by Tibor Halatsch for 12,200 with the

Alexandru Cinca raised to 2,000 from the cutoff and Patrik Antonius three-bet to 5,000 from the button. The blinds got out of the way and Cinca went into the tank. After a few moments, and a loud sigh, Cinca shoved the rest of it while covered by Antonius.
Antonius let out a sigh of his own and asked for a count. After Cinca counted out around 35,000, Antonius sighed again.
"That's too much," Antonius said as he took a look at his own stack.
"I like the sound of that," Cinca replied with a grin.
Antonius finally got away from it, turning over 
, and Cinca slid his hand into the muck without showing.

On a table filled with plenty above-average stacks, it was Jordan Westmorland who opened it up with a raise to 2,200. Christophe Panetti then three-bet to 6,200 on the button only for Daniel Rezaei to pop it up in the small blind. Two quick folds later, Rezaei collected the pot without resistance.
"It seems that I always have a hand when you raise on the button," Rezaei admitted in table chat. He remains on the shorter side of things compared to other notables but that may change at any minute.

Action was three ways with 
on the board when Sandro Pitzanti checked from the small blind and Damien Pilkington-Lewis bet 2,100 from the big blind. A player in middle position called and Pitzanti shoved for around 12,000. Pilkington-Lewis called and the player in middle position folded. Action was heads-up and Pitzanti was at risk.
Sandro Pitzanti: 
Damien Pilkington-Lewis: 
The turn came 
, giving Pitzanti a set of fours to move ahead of Pilkington-Lewis' pair of aces. The river was inconsequential and Pitzanti secured the double just before the final break of the evening.
