Shortly before the break, William Thorson made his last stand with only to run into pocket aces. No miracle for the aggressive Swede on the board and he hit the rail.

Hurrah, queens
Sebastian Ruthenberg goes from strength to, er, 42,000 in chips. He called an opponent's all in on a queen-high, heart-free flop, and the opponent was drawing pretty thin with up against Ruthenberg's . The turn and river were blanks, the opponent is busto, and Ruthenberg moves up in the chip rankings.

Table Levi/Molander has now been broken, and its former residents scattered across the cardroom.
Nicolas Levi's arrival at his new seat on the immediate left of Sebastian Ruthenberg was met by an odd, dirty sounding laugh from tablemate and fellow Frenchman, (and incidentally, legendary British DJ John Peel lookalike) Jacques Zaicik. Slightly disconcerting, that.
Just as happy was Isabelle Mercier on learning that she was moving to a spot sandwiched between Peter Jepsen, who has stripped down to his undershirt for purposes of receiving a massage, and jovial Italian Gino Alacqua. "I am coming next to you, my friend," she called over to Alacqua. "I don't know how," she continued as she attempted to pick her way through the crowded tournament area. Eventually she reached her new seat, happily chanting, "Yay! Yay! Yay!" Possibly the heat is getting to Ms. Mercier...

Inquiring what had become of Nicolas Levi's hat, he replied that it was simply too hot and he'd had to remove it. Ignoring my assertion that he would lose his magical powers without it, he went on, "At night, they take the tables out of here, put some water in and it becomes a sauna." It seems possible...

Am I bluffing?
With the action folded around to Peter Jepsen, he made it 1,000 to go from the button. Isabelle Mercier, newly moved to his table, popped it to 3,000 from the small blind and Gino Alacqua gave up his big blind. Jepsen called the additional 2,000.
The flop came down and Mercier made a continuation bet of 4,600. Jepsen asked how much she had behind, and she cut her stack down, revealing an additional 13,600 in chips. Jepsen elected to lay down his hand.
As Mercier stacked up the pot, Alacqua noticed a small notebook sitting next to Mercier's chips.
"What's that book?" queried Alacqua.
"It's where I write down all my bluffs" replied Mercier.
"You're not writing now" noticed Jepsen.
"Well, I wasn't bluffing!" she laughed.
Mercier now on 26,000 as the remaining minutes in Day 1B tick away.
