Oliveira out as two more follow

The Saperas exit seems to have sparked some action as Carlos Oliveira and Javier Piazuelo quickly followed him to the rail, with both taking €1800.

Carlos had been biding his time early on, barely entering a pot, but having set his table image he mistimed a bluff with A10. He had called a pre-flop raise from Pawel Zawadowicz and the flop fell 998.

Oliveira then check-called a c-bet, check-raised a 6 on the turn and having connected on the river with an Ace, he shoved his remaining 180,000 chips - only for his Polish opponent to snap him off with A9.

"I'm disappointed because I was playing for first place, but after starting Day 2 with so few chips it's obviously nice to be here.

"If the Ace hadn't come I think I would have given up the bluff, so it was a bad card!"

Both players score Fantasy Poker points for their teams of course, with Oliveira taking 9 and Piazuelo 10.
