They saw a flop and Akenhead checked. Demjan promptly announced all in, and, snapping his cards resignedly, Akenhead folded.
The next hand Demjan raised from the cutoff and picked up a caller in Markus Ristola on the button. Demjan bet out 50,000 on the flop and Ristol called that too, but Demjan announced all in on the urn and Ristola eventually passed. Demjan is up over the 300,000 mark again.
Wilf is still our chip leader and is now on 900,000. With the average at 477,000 though, this really is still anyone's game.
With , Hawrilenko not only hit the flop, but smashed it to smithereens. He checked, and Lieu pushed in. Snap, blank, blank and Lieu was out.

A murmur of "Awwww," rose from the rail as the eight hit the river, busting the EPT-winning Frenchman. Brunson is up to 496,000.
On the upside for Arnaud, at least he can attend his own 30th birthday party now.
Bjorin check-called 31,000 from Mercier on the turn and another 69,000 (teehee!) from Mercier on the river. Mercier turned over for two pair, but Bjorin's surprisingly premium for a flush won the hand.
Bjorin - 480,000
Mercier - 350,000
When the hands were placed on their backs, there was a never ending string of Cheshire Cat grins from the Brunson fans seated beyond the rail, as their man had picked up at just the right time. Mattern had .
Despite a second lady on the turn of a board, the rocket failed to launch, and Mattern found himself nearing the felt. Brunson, meanwhile, was elevated to 416,000.
Everybody checked the flop, only for Fung to lead for 44,000 on the turn Mercier called; Hawkins and Bjorin ducked out of the way.
On the river, Fung nonchalantly dropped 50,000 into the pot, which triggered Mercier into moving all in. After fingering his chips briefly, Fung relinquished his hand.
Fung slips to 615,000.
