Zimnan Ziyard opened to 105,000 preflop and Hauke Heseding called in the big blind to see a 
flop which both players checked. The 
turn saw Heseding check again and Ziyard fired out 110,000 but Heseding made the call to see the 
river which both players checked.
The German flipped 
and Ziyard mucked.
Zimnan Ziyard opened to 100,000 from the cutoff but folded when John Taramas made it 325,000 on the button.
Ziyard and Florian Schleps saw a flop of 
and Schleps fired out 145,000 but snap-folded when Ziyard made it 330,000. None of these players seem reluctant tussle now.
Zimnan Ziyard raised to 110,000 on the button and after John Taramas folded in the small blind, Pierre Mothes called in the big blind.
Flop: 
A nice little flop if you were holding a pair of clubs! Mothes checked to Ziyard who c-bet 135,000 and Mothes moved all-in for 1,775,000. Ziyard dived into a crouched position, checked his cards eagerly and made the call. We were staring at the face of Mothes during this action and when the cards were overturned he looks like he had seen a ghost.

Ziyard had flopped the flush and Mothes had floped top two pair.
"Has he got me covered," Mothes asked through a quivering lip.
The turn of 
and river of 
meant the flush held strong and Mothes was really struggling to hold back his emotion. He waited patiently for the count and Ziyard had him covered by 200,000 chips and he left the table to a round of applause. Ziyard, meanwhile, returned to the top of the chip counts.

Just a few hands after taking all of Andras Kovacs' chips, Hauke Heseding has just had the bulk of them snatched from his grasp by John Taramas.
Heseding made a standard raise to 100,000 and when the action folded around to John Taramas in the big blind he moved all-in for 720,000 and Heseding called. The largely partisan Greek crowd went berserk and clambered around the rail and in the stands.

Taramas and his fans were baying for a queen and they got their wish when the flop flew down 
. The crowd went wild, and were still cheering when the hit the turn, before the sound reached its crescendo with the on the river.

Wow, this was a HUGE pot.
It started with Pierre Mothes opening to 110,000 preflop before Hauke Heseding reraised to 250,000 in the seat next to him. Andras Kovacs then moved all in for about 1.4 million from the button and Mothes quickly folded.
Heseding said, "I'm sorry I can't fold - I call."
Biggest pot of the tournament.
Kovacs:   |
| Heseding: |
Both players stood up and looked incredibly nervous as the winner of the pot would be the chip leader. The flop was good for the German coming 
but he couldn't relax too much since the 
on the turn gave Kovacs a flush draw.
Both players looked on as the river came out, it was red but it was a heart - the 
and Heseding celebrated, while a disappointed Kovacs went out in 6th place.

Players are on a 20 minute break.
Zimnan Ziyard took the last two pots of this level, first from the big blind he three-bet Hauke Heseding's open of 80,000 to 225,000. Then the very next hand he did exactly the same to Florian Schleps to win both pots.
