Igor Kurganov checked from the big blind on a flop of 
prompting a bet of 2,800 from Philippe D`Auteuil and a call from Niall Farrell.
Kurganov then sprang the check-raise to 11,600 and that got the job done.

Jouhkimainen: 
The board came 
and the Finn doubled up his short stack while Kurganov took a hit on his second bullet.

On the turn of a 
board, action was checked to Sam Chartier who bet 3,500 and Jorryt van Hoof was the only caller. The river was the 
and van Hoof checked again, Chartier moved in and the Dutch November Niner snap-called. Chartier immediately showed his 
bluff and van Hoof tabled 
to win the pot.
Chartier was left with just 2,500 afterwards, this went into the middle in the very next hand with Ole Schemion the caller.
Chartier: 
Schemion: 
The board came 
and Schemion looks to be the early chip leade with 125,000.

We joined the action as the floor was called. The flop 
had been dealt and the dealer had incorrectly pointed to one player who had checked and Shane Reihill had made a bet of 4,000. It then became clear that Craig McCorkell had not checked after all and Reihill put the chips back in his stack.
The first ruling the floor delivered was the McCorkell’s hand was declared dead, a penalty for not protecting his action, basically not paying attention. There was a mild uproar as McCorkell declared no way was his hand dead, he had been deciding what to do. The players insisted on a second opinion as they are entitled to.
The second ruling was different. McCorkell had forfeited the right to act on this round and Reihill’s bet would stand. Now Reihill objected, why should his bet stand when the dealer had indicated the action incorrectly? He felt he was being penalised. It was pointed out to him what did he think had happened before action had got to him?
A form of order was restored and McCorkell called the 4,000 bet from Reihill and it went to heads-up. The turn was the 
and with both players sure whose turn it was they both checked. The river 
was similarly checked. “Eight.” McCorkell said and turned over 
.

Joni Jouhkimainen had said to our Finnish colleagues that he wasn't a big fan of his table draw and indeed, he's finding it tough so far. Chris Moorman, who has just joined the table, opened to 1,000 and Jouhkimainen three-bet to 2,550, Moorman came back over the top with a four-bet to 5,500 and the Finn folded.
It's going to be one of those days...
