Tureniec looked concerned, enough to take his sunglasses off for the first time this tournament, it looked as though he was going to fold but then cut out the chips and made the call. Iacofano showed his counterfeited and Tureniec won with to keep himself in the hunt.
A 65,000 raise from John Eames under the gun was called by Per Linde on the button. But all hopes of a big confrontation between the two chip leaders were dashed when Eames check-folded to an 80,000 bet from Linde on the flop.

It's like deja vu all over again.
Kevin Iacofano raised to 70k, and button Michael Tureniec three-bet to 160k. Per Linde plonked down enough green 100k chips to put anyone on the table at risk, and picked up the pot with little delay.
We experienced a few hands of relative non-action - Per Linde, Michael Tureniec and Kevin Iacofano took turns to steal the blinds and antes with preflop raises.
When Nikolas Liakos tried it under the gun, though, Per Linde in the big blind reraised a stack of T100,000 chips to set him in. Liakos looked a little frustrated, and folded.
