Just 15 minutes before the first break of the day, there was the first cry of 'Seat open!' from the Super High Roller field.
Jean-Noel Thorel had left the building; Mikita Badziakouski informing us on a 
board with three diamonds, the pair got it in with Thorel holding 
for the nut straight.
Badziakouski however held 
for the nut flush and sent Thorel to the rail.
Dominik Nitsche and Ole Schemion are the latest on the list of Germans to make their way into the field, bring the total entries to 30 thus far.
Jean-Noel Thorel opened to 30,000 from under the gun and was called by Adrian Mateos in the small blind and Koray Aldemir in the big blind. The flop came 
and the action checked to Thorel who continued for 40,000. Mateos check-raised to 150,000 which got Aldemir out but Thorel still called.
The turn brought the 
and Mateos led out for another 300,000. Thorel quickly called and the 
completed the board. Mateos put together a bet of 515,000 and Thorel wasted little time before looking him up. Mateos flipped over 
for a set of fours and Thorel mucked his cards.
Christoph Vogelsang opened to 31,000 on the button and Rainer Kempe raised to 130,000 from the small blind.
"Ah!" said Shan Huang. "Perfect spot for a four-bet!"
Huang four-bet to 329,000. Vogelsang folded and Kempe asked for a count. Huang showed 1.4m behind and after a short tank Kempe folded.
It folded around to Alex Foxen on the button and he raised to 30,000. Rainer Kempe defended his big blind and they saw the 
flop appear.
Both players checked this time and the turn was the 
. Kempe checked to Foxen again and this time he bet 45,000. Kempe called and the 
river was dealt.
This time both players checked again Foxen turned open a , but as soon as Kempe opened up 
Foxen mucked his cards.
Shan Huang asked Foxen why he bet on the turn. "Why do you bet the turn without a jack? Are you trying to steal from Kempe? Don't try, he's good."
Foxen added he had two pair and Kempe was the one stacking chips.
