According to our crack photographer Neil Stoddart, Peter Jetten has hit the rail holding . He was all in and at risk on a flop of with pocket rockets, but he was drawing very slim against Lauri Personen, who held .
Jetten was unable to improve his hand, and he was eliminated just short of the money.
Chris Moorman has started off his day winning races and busting players - what's new?
He opened to 6,400 from early position and called when Ramey Shaio shoved for 32,100 from the button.
Shaio:
Moorman:
The board ran to make Moorman a flush. King-queen has probably earned Moorman a lot of money on PokerStars over the years and the hand's treating him well here.
Vasileios Panagiotidis just moved all in for 53,600 chips and Jose Manuel Nadal Sordo made the call to his direct left. The other players folded and the showdown went as following.

The board ran out and Panagiotidis was knocked out.
Giuseppe Sammartino opened to 6,000 from under the gun, Philipp Gruissem three-bet to 13,500 from the hijack seat, Adam Levy cold four-bet to 27,500 from the cutoff, and the button and both blinds released. Sammartino spun his cards into the muck as well, and the action was back on Gruissem.
"You have about 80 [thousand chips] left, right?" he asked Levy.
Levy nodded.
Gruissem tanked for 90 seconds or so then clicked it back, making it 41,500. Levy instantly mucked, and Gruissem picked up the pot.
"How many times can this happen in a tournament?" Team PokerStars Pro Marcel Luske asked himself after he just lost a massive pot to Full Tilt's Professional Viktor Blom.
Luske was just very, very unlucky and looked more devastated then we've ever seen the jolly Dutchman.
The action started with a raise to 6,000 from middle position and Blom three-bet to 17,600 from small blind. Luske sat in the big blind and quickly four-bet to 42,700. The initial raiser folded his cards, Blom peeked down at his and moved all in. Luske snap-called.

Viktor Blom:
The board ran out and Luske was left behind with just 27,600 chips. Blom sat in silence as the dealer pushed him a huge pot which puts him on roughly twice the average stack.
Griffin Benger was the first player to hit the rail today after a hand that seemed like a set up.
For starters, he was the shortest starting stack at his table and was unlucky to be drawn in the big blind. Secondly, the second shortest stack (Stefan Bormann) shoved into him from the cut-off which one would expect with a wide range of hands. Get this then: Benger looked down at pocket sevens and made an easy call all in only for Bormann to open aces! How does that happen?
The board ran king high and Benger has to contend with sightseeing until he flies back across the pond.
