Eros Nastasi saw the action fold around to him in the cutoff and he raised it up, then called when Serkan Kurnaz three-bet from the small blind.
The dealer burned a card and fanned out the 
flop. Kurnaz fired a continuation bet and Nastasi made the call. The turn was the 
and both players tapped the table and checked. The river was the 
, Kurnaz checked, Natasi shoved 200,000 and Kurnaz asked for a count.
Armed with the information that a call would be 200,000 he made the call and turned over 
for a pair of jacks and Natasi had to show his 
for a complete bluff.

We have just lost Juuso Leppanen but don't have the exact details. We do know that Jonathan Roy busted him whilst holding pocket jacks and Leppanen was holding 
for a draw that obviously missed.

Valeriy Chupin has just been eliminated at the hands of Serkan Kurnaz. Kurnaz is going about his business quietly in this tournament so keep your eye out for him because he could be a dark horse.
Kurnaz opened to 10,000 and Chupin shoved for around 115,000 chips. Kurnaz called and showed 
and was up against Chupin's 
. Kurnaz caught a king on the 
flop and stayed ahead as the turn was the 
and the river the 
. We are down to 16 in the main event.
