The last hour hasn't been as pleasant to Roman Motovsky and he dropped to around one third of the starting stack.

Jan Krnac started well into his first entry but was soon stopped by Bahman. The Czech bought back in and got a new table, which just saw him take down a sizable pot.
Krnac was the initial raiser on the button and a pot of 10,800 emerged until the ![]()
