Play has slowed down considerably, no big action was seen this level so far. Einhorn and Voulgaris just said they were getting tired and were looking forward to end of play in 20 or so minutes.
Nível: 10
Blinds: 50,000/100,000
Ante: 15,000
From early position, David Einhorn raised to 200,000 and Alfred Decarolis in the cutoff was the only caller.
Einhorn checked on 
and called the 300,000 bet by Decarolis that followed. Both of them checked the 
on the turn and the 
completed the board. Einhorn checked again and called the 400,000 bet that followed.
Decarolis showed 
and Einhorn mucked after doubled checking his cards.
"Look at Al value bluffing the river!" Haralabos Voulgaris said with a big smile.
"Every breath you take every move you make..." Bob Safai started singing.
"You just merged your range there on the river, just throw in some bluffs there" Voulgaris continued.
"Every flush you make every bluff you fake..." Safai sang while Decarolis just continued stacking.

I arrived at the table to see a big pot between Talal Shakerchi and Kamer Alyanakyan in progress. The former had bet 505,000 on the river of a 
board and Kamer Alyanakyan was in the tank. He was eying up the board more than his opponent and thought for a while before committing the necessary chips to the pot.
Shakerchi rolled over 
for a flush, Alyanakyan nodded and mucked.
On the very next hand Zuo Wang made it 180,000 from under-the-gun+1 and picked up calls from Talal Shakerchi (hijack), Jason Strasser (button) and Andrew Pantling (big blind). On the 
flop Pantling led for 260,000, Wang moved in for about 1,500,000 and one by one everyone folded.

A much needed double up for Mark Telstcher, who got his final 15 big blinds in pre-flop holding pocket nines and managed to hold against the pocket eights of Pierre Garand.

A tale of pairs this one, three pairs though. Tony Bloom was the aggressor, he made it 200,000 to go from the hijack, Al Decarolis folded but accidentally exposed pocket twos as he did so. It folded to Bob Safai in the big blind and he said. "I hope I don't have a two," he looked at his hand and evidently had enough to continue in the hand as he made the call.
On the 
flop Bloom bet 260,000 and Safai smooth called. That was the end of the betting as the 
and 
turn and river checked through. Bloom showed pocket tens which bested Safai's pocket fours.
Andrew Pantling busted early in level seven, but after taking a break he's just bought back in for another €1,000,000.
That left tournament director Jack Effel with a decision; either start a new table resulting in every table playing shorthanded, or make one table 9-handed with the rest staying 8-handed. Effel consulted all the players and they agreed with the option to make one (randomly selected) table 9-handed while the rest remained 8-handed.

We're starting to see the orange T500,000 chips get used fairly frequently now whereas it was a rarity a couple of levels ago. In a recent pot Brandon Steven opened to 175,000 on the button and Sean Dempsey smooth called from the big blind. On the 
flop Steven bet 200,000, Dempsey check-raised to 625,000 total and Steven stuck around.
On the 
turn Dempsey bet 1,000,000 straight and Steven folded.
