Apologies, but we continue to have internet problems.
Domink Nitsche, Jamie Rosen and Anton Wigg all fell in the last level.
Nitsche lost with ace-six to roommate Rupert Elder and his pocket aces. That enabled the latter to an 85,000-chip stack.
Jamie Rosen was left short after being coolered earlier. He shoved the last of his chips in with king-queen, losing out to an opponent holding pocket nines.
Anton Wigg was cruising until he lost with queens to kings, fives to kings, and finally with pocket nines to ace-queen.
Radoslaw Kopec was the chip leader before Michal Polchlopek over took him. The latter has continued his surge and is well clear and the top of the standings. The former, meanwhile, has given some of the chips back to his table mates.
Aleks Brkovic has just managed a double-up holding against an opponent's . The board featured two kings to put Brkovic further in front as he raked in plenty of chips.
JP Kelly tangled with the recently very active Math More and managed to get him to make a painful looking bet-fold on the river.
Kelly opened to 4,300 and was called by More on the button en route to a flop. Kelly c-bet for 7,200 and and More called to see the . This time Kelly checked, and called when the $10/$20 live cash game grinder bet 16,400.
The river paired the board with and Kelly checked again and once more faced a 16,400 bet. The Brit took little time in testing his opponent for his final 35,000 as he check-raised all-in. More looked pained and took about five minutes to concede defeated.
Rupert Elder had 90,000 chips not so long ago, but now he has none. He swung by and told us he lost three all-ins in-a-row. The biggest these was when he three-bet called with ace-ten versus the "crazy Japanese" player to his right, who woke up with ace-king.
Next stop for Rupert is the Main Event Day 1A tomorrow.

Radoslaw Kopec is back on the up after doubling through JP Kelly with an interesting (shall we say) and aggressive play.
The two were heads-up to a flop and Kopec checked to face a 8,600 bet from the Brit. He thought for a minute and then made a large check-raise all-in for 84,600. Kelly looked at the board and his opponent before making the call with for top pair.
