Kevin MacPhee opened to 375 from UTG with Anton Wigg calling in middle position, the big blind called as well.
However any hope of action on the 
quickly dissipated when every street was checked down. MacPhee showed 
which was enough to win it all. The smallest pot MacPhee might win this tournament and probably the easiest.
David Gassian has just eliminated the unknown ten seat on his table, caling a river push with 
on a 
. His opponent had flipped 
and having seen he'd been outdrawn on the flop, left more disgusted than a Liverpool fan after the Northamption cup match.
Over 15,000 in chips had made its way into the pot by the time we arrived on the river of the 
board. They would soon find their way into the stack of Chance Kornuth, as Mr. Kornuth bet out 11,500 from under the gun, and following a brief-ish pause his opponent - we believe one Quentin Krueger - folded.
There were a few envious glances around the table as Kornuth stacked up his chips - at 55,000, he is currently table captain.
With 11,750 in the pot, Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst fired 7,900 on the river of a 
board causing her opponent Bryn Kenney to tank for several minutes before he eventually made the call.
Selbst mucked instantly and pointed out Kenney had to show his hand and he tabled 
. This however isn't the actual rule in EPT's, which is that if a player is called and mucks, the other player does not need to show a hand to win the pot. However, if a player calls the best and asks to see the opponent's hand, they then themselves must table a hand to win the pot.
This stops an advantage being given to players who bluff since otherwise they gain info about opponents who have made good calls. This rule can have critics though since it may make collusion more difficult to detect.
How time flies when you're having fun.
It's time for our runners to spend their first 15 minutes out in the hallway. Back shortly.

That's enough milling about. Back to work.
Our intrepid hostess, Glo, lugged a camera through the streets of London to capture some of the sights and sounds that this sprawling city has to offer. Check out her quick city tour while you've got a few minutes to kill.
Arnaud Mattern dropped a good chunk, he had flopped fairly well with 
on a 
board before raising on the 
turn against his opponent. However on the 
river, Mattern just called a 1/3 pot bet only to be shown 
.
Nevertheless, Mattern really likes his table despite being down to 23,000.
