We picked up with the action on a flop of 
to see Kitty Kuo heads up with Anthony Mowad. Mowad fired 1,600 and Kuo came over the top with a raise to what looked to be 3,800. Mowad called the raise but in doing so tossed out four red T1,000 chips on top of his bet. This was more chips than Kuo's raise and Kuo insisted that the move must be a raise. The floor was called and they agreed, ruling a raise to 6,000.
The very moment that the raise was made valid, Kuo snap-shoved her entire stack all in for a four-bet raise to 22,475. Mowad tanked for quite some time.
"Would you should me your hand?" he asked.
Kuo merely shook her head to signify a no.
He mucked his hand - the 
- face up, and watched as Kuo scooped up the pot. This win boosted Kuo's stack up to about 31,000.

Peter Kresz, a PokerStars Qualifier from Hungary opened from early position and got a call from Daniel Negreanu who announced “This could be the one.” as he put in the chips. Two more callers behind and we saw a flop of

We arrived at the table in time to see a short stacked player all in and at risk before the flop for his last 9,775 against Jake Balsiger. The hands were turned over to find that the players were racing for Balsiger's opponent's tournament life.

The board ran out 
and Balsiger was unable to improve. He shipped double up chips across the table and watched as his own stack shrunk to just about 17,500.

Brian Kim's European Poker Tour Barcelona Main Event hadn't started too well, as he slipped down to around 18,000 or so, but he's not back to nearly the stack he began the day with thanks to a little backdoor help.
On the final board of 
, there was approximately 5,500 in the middle. Kim had fired a bet of 4,750 after his opponent checked to him, and the player sat in the tank for a minute or two prior to making the call. Kim tabled the 
for a rivered queen-high straight and scooped in the pot. His opponent didn't show.
This is the second EPT event that Kim has played in his poker career, having first fired in the 2013 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final €10,000 Main Event last season in May. In that event, Kim's run was cut short when 12th-place finisher Clyde Tjauw Foe flushed away Kim's set of eights before Vasili Firsau eliminated him a few hands later.

Fresh from his success in the Super High Roller, where he finished 3rd for €355,100, PokerStars player Steve O'Dwyer from Ireland is back in action at the Main Event today. He’s proved that he can adapt to almost any situation in poker, so it will be fascinating to see if he can navigate his way through such a large field.
Kenneth Kui limped from early position and O’Dwyer was happy enough to play along and put in his 200 chips to call. There were four more callers including seat 7, Glib Kovtunov in the seat 8 and the small and big blinds. Six players saw a flop of 
. It was checked to Kovtunov who bet 600 and found his only caller in seat 7. They both checked a turn of 
and when the 
came on the river Kovtunov called a bet of 1,200 and mucked when he saw his opponents 
.
