Ben Wilinofsky has been a real pain in Anton Morgenstern's side today. The young Canadian had won several pots against his opponent before administering a final coupe de grace in a coinflip situation.
It was Wilinofsky's 
against Morgenstern's 
for what was a 1.2 million pot.
The flop was 
and while the 
teased a lot of outs for the Russian, the river was the 
and Wilinofsky moves amongst the chip leaders once more.
We just lost Thorsten Schafer from the TV table, sadly getting the details is nigh on impossible since the area is mostly sealed off from the media.
All we can safely ascertain is that by the river someone else had a better hand than his own as he is now walking to the cash desk.
More four-bet-followed-by-a-snap-fo ld-to-a-five-bet action over at the next table, as Kristijonas Andrulis opened to 41,000 and Robin Ylitalo made it 97,000 to go. Andrulis four-bet to 165,000, which prompted a serious tank from Ylitalo. Eventually he five-bet to around 400,000, and no sooner were the chips across the line than Andrulis' hand was in the muck.
"So you had something then," Andrulis said, but Ylitalo declined to answer. They're at around a million apiece after that, but moving in completely opposite directions.
George Danzer made it what we think was 46,000 from the small blind, but Mikhail Lakhitov in the big blind reraised to 100,000. Danzer now made it 286,000 - but Lakhitov now five-bet to cover Danzer, who snap-folded.
Danzer is pretty short now on 370,000, Lakhitov towering above him on 1.5 million.

These gentlemen here:
The final few tables stretch their legs and talk to their rapidly expanding rail. Back in 15 minutes.
Cuello Jorge Mariano won a 1.1 million chip pot after getting all-in preflop with 
against Anton Morgenstern 
after the Russian ended up 5-betting all-in preflop. The Spaniard snap-called and the board came 
to cap a major comeback for Mariano who was one of our shorter stacks earlier. Former chip monster Morgenstern drops to around 550,000.
Personable chip leader Ben Wilinofsky now has Dutch favourite and online cash-gamer Joep van den Bijgaart on his right. They instantly struck up an amusing conversation which ended with van den Bijgaart turning a blankly puzzled expression to Wilinofsky when he made a reference to 'winning' and 'Charlie Sheen.'
"Who is Charlie Sheen?"
"Seriously? You don't know Charlie Sheen? You don't spend a lot of time on the internet," marveled Wilinofsky
"Oh I spend a lot. Too much. But who is he?"
"Maybe he's not such a phenomenon in Scandinavia," countered Wilinofsky.
"I am not from Scandinavia."
"Where are you from?"
"I am from Holland."
Wilinofsky turned to a fellow Dutchman asking, "Do you know Charlie Sheen?"
He was answered in the affirmative. He went on to attempt to explain the pop culture meme that Charlie Sheen is to people who spend most of their lives on the internet. Not one crack in van den Bijgaart to be seen. No wonder he's tough to play against.
