3.50pm: Luca and Vasylchenko sparring
There’s a real battle between Ivan Luca and Oleg Vasylchenko. On the river of a 4â™  8♣ Kâ™  5♥ 7â™  board, Luca raised the Ukrainian player’s 375,000 bet to 1.245 million. Vasylchenko tanked for several minutes before eventually folding.

The next hand saw Vasylchenko raised to 160,000 on the button, Luca made it 480,000 in the small blind before Vasylchenko responded with a four-bet to 1 million. This time the Argentinian was doing the tanking before he folded.

“I love this table,” said Sacha Israel.

3.31pm: Picault left short
Oleg Vasylchenko check-called a bet of a 185,000 on a 7♠ K♦ Q♠ board before also checking the 7♣ turn to Anthony Picault.

The board came Qâ™  6♥ 2♦ 2♣ A♣ and Lambertz chip lead grew further, the German has 5.6 million now. However, he was given a one-round penalty as a result of exposing his cards, which Lambertz wasn’t too happy about.
