Johnson Busts
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
There were two Johnson's in the field at the start of play - Mitch and Keith- but sadly the former has just busted out and was kind enough to tell us how: "I opened with A-Q and a guy peeled. I check-raised the Q-10-5 flop and jammed the 8 turn and he had J-9."

To the River with De Benedittis
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Carlo De Benedittis moved all in for his last 20,000 and was looked up by the big blind, PokerStars player Paul Berende who flipped over . De Benedittis had 
and so was marginally ahead. Not for long though as the flop came 
. De Benedittis would need some help and the turn 
and river 
duly delivered an improbable straight. De Benedittis gave a little “Yes.” Relieved to have survived.

Abdellatif Breaks the 400,000 Barrier
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Jonathan Abdellatif started the day fifth in chips with 351,700 and he's continued where he left of yesterday, namely upwards. He and Kamel Boukhalfa are having a running battle and they just played two pots in a row.
In the first Abdellatif opened to 6,000 and called after Boukhalfa three-bet to 17,000 from the big blind. On the 
flop Boukhalfa checked, Abdellatif bet 19,300 and a frustrated Boukhalfa uncapped his cards before peaking at them and folding.
One hand later Abdellatif was first in again, he raised to 6,000 and this time Boukhalfa elected to smooth call from the small blind. The 
flop was checked through and the 
hit the turn. First to act Boukhalfa fired out a bet of 6,000 and it was good enough to take the pot.
Despite that small dent Abdellatif is up to roughly 429,000.

Manji: “Donkey play by you.”
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Ayaz Manji opened for 7,100 under-the gun and was three-bet by the player to his left, Jeffrey Hakim, to 22,200. Everyone else folded and Manji asked to see how much he had behind which was about 30,000. Manji gave it a bit of a dwell up and folded. He then started giving a speech about how he folded 
and that it was: “Well played by me, donkey play by you.” Promising that next time he would call him. Hakim took it in good spirits though and it was hugs all round.
