Great play from Gerosimiva
Chip monster Jonas Kronwitter raised to 5,000 from the cut off only to be three-bet to 13,7000 from Liya Gerosimova on the button. After some consideration he made the call to see the Kâ™  9♦ 7♥ flop. Both players checked it through to the 8♥ turn where Kronwitter check-called a 12,000 bet from Gerosimova. The river K♦ saw Kronwitter retake the initiative with a 25,800 bet that Gerosimova called. Kronwitter tabled J♥ Jâ™  but was beaten by the Russian’s A♥ K♣ . Kronwitter threw his cards into the muck and walked off on break. Gerosimova smiled and stacked up her stack, now standing at 180,000. Kronwitter’s still monstrous on 254,000.

3.40: British withdraw some troops
British players Mark Dalimore and Stuart Rutter have been eliminated from the tournament. The latter’s ace-rag couldn’t beat the mighty queen-four of an opponent apparently.

3.30pm: Kravchenko butso
The last remaining member of Team PokerStars Pro has fallen. We started the day with three but Katja Thater then Ivan Demidov and now Alex Kravchenko are no more. Kravchenko had been nursing a short stack for a long while and when he shoved for his last 16,400 with A♣ J♥ from under-the-gun he found a caller on the button with A♥ K♥ . The board ran out 9♣ 5♠ 6♥ 9♠ Q♠ and the quiet Russian walked from the tournament area.

5.05pm: Feature Seat change shocker
The hottest seat in the house, the PokerStars Blog Feature Seat, has changed hands for the first time today. Eduard Poltaves, who had been sitting on the coveted throne since noon, has busted, falling victim to the Estonian Priit Turner, who is cutting a dash with a national headband and scarf.

The Feature Seat, which is table two, seat seven (I’m sure you get the 2-7 relevance without us having to hammer it home), would not remain empty for long, as Igor Dubinsky, from Ukraine, came over from a broken table to be the new custodian.

4.55pm: Malott’s luck is in
PokerStars qualifier Andrew Malott raised from mid position and was called by a player on the button before the flop came down A♦ Jâ™  6â™  . Malott checked to face a bet that he raised up. A quick all-in resulted in an equally quick call by Malott with Qâ™  10â™  for straight and flush draws. It was obvious he needed to hit though versus his opponent’s A♣ J♥ for top two-pair. The turn 2♥ was harmless but the 7â™  river made the flush for the American and eliminated his opponent.

“Yes, that interview wasn’t bad luck after all. Come on. Unlucky sir, nice playing with you” was the verbal flurry heard from Malott’s mouth after winning.

A happy boy, now sitting on 195,000 and tucking into a sandwich.
