We were informed by players at William Kassouf's table that the talkative Brit has been eliminated.
Stefan Priebs limped and another player raised to 1,200. Kassouf then moved all in for 7,900 and Priebs called. The third player folded.
Priebs held 
and Kassouf 
, and after a King came on the flop, it was always going to be hard for Kassouf to stay alive. He still has the option to re-enter, so we will have to wait and see if he does so.

With players allowed one re-entry per each of the starting flights, some players are starting to take advantage of their second bullets. Pierre Neuville was among one of the first as earlier his pocket aces were cracked when his opponent rivered a straight, and now Aleksandar Tomovic and Niall Farrell have re-entered, the latter of whom going straight to the feature table.

The full board was out 
in a hand between William Kassouf and one other opponent. Kassouf was first to act and he proceeded to stack up a large portion of his chips and push them over the line.
His opponent, who covered Kassouf, announced all in and then turned over 
. Kassouf and the dealer then informed the other player that Kassouf wasn't in fact all in, and still had 10,000 behind. Seeing a flush for his opponent, Kassouf folded, and was left with just 10,000.
"Lucky river," said Kassouf, "I had a big hand."
