Jack Ellwood is battling away on 13,500, some of which was thanks to hitting a river card versus Josef Bachar.
Ellwood raised to 900 from the cut-off and was called by Bachar in the big blind. The two players took a flop where Ellwood saw his 1,100 c-bet called.
No chips chips made it into the middle as both players checked through the turn and river. Bachar opened but lost out to the Brit's .

The Main Event doesn't seem to treat Dan Smith as well as the 50K Super High Roller as he keeps going down in the chip counts. Smith just lost another hand after calling for 700 preflop and going heads up against Francesc Xavier Guixeras Giner from Spain.

Smith showed for a pair of nines and Giner flipped for a higher pair and collected the pot.
