Ivan Soshnikov is one of the latest players to register for the tournament and he is diving straight into the action, although not with the result he might have hoped for in this hand.
Pavel Gonchakov had made it 1,000 on the flop of a board reading 
and Soshnikov raised to 2,800. The other player involved pre-flop folded and Gonchakov made the call.
On the 
turn Gonchakov check-called a 6,100 bet from Soshnikov and when the river 
appeared Gonchakov checkwd once more. Soshnikov considered his options and the one he picked was the check behind.
Gonchakov tabled 
for the winning hand to grow his stack even more.

Yury Gulyy opened to 800 before the flop and it folded over to Hervé Boulan in the small blind. Boulan cut out a three-bet to 2,250 and the big blind folded, putting action back on Gulyy.
Gulyy thought for about a minute before reaching for his stack of grey T5,000 chips. Gulyy picked up entire stack and plopped them straight into the middle of the table. This was enough to put Boulan all in and suddenly he was at a decision for his last roughly 14,000. In the end, Boulan let it go and Gully pulled the pot. Gulyy now has about 67,500 to his name.

Bart Lybaert, who finished 20th in the FPS High Roller here earlier this week (€8,600) and also cashed in the same event last year (9th for €9,400), is sitting comfortably on a stack of 77,000.
Lybaert told us he isolated an early position limper with a raise to 1,000 from the button. The player in the big blind made the call and so did the limper.
Three way to the flop where 
with two clubs appeared. Action checked to Lybaert who bet 2,000. The big blind folded, the pre flop limper made the call.
That player check called another 4,000 on the 
-turn and 9,000 on the 
-river.
Lybaert showed for a flopped two pair and collected the chips after his opponent mucked.

Ludovic Geilich called a 5,000 bet from Pierre Merlin on the flop of a board reading 
. They went on to check the turn card and the river card 
. Merlin mucked his cards and Geilich collected the pot without having to show his cards.
On the next hand Artem Litvinov opened for 900 and Merlin made the call from the small blind. Geilich bumped it up to 3,200 after checking Litvinov’s reduced stack and he glumly folded. Merlin made the call and they checked it down to the river of a board reading 
where Merlin bet 4,500. Geilich took fewer than five seconds to throw out a calling chip.
Merlin had 
and Geilich showed 
so they chopped it up.
From checking flights on his phone a few hours ago when he was down to 5,000 chips Geilich has fought his way back but Litvinov looks down in the dumps now his stack is just hovering above the same mark.
