Paul Dando opened to 9,000 from late position and watched on as Richard Kellett three-bet all-in from the small blind. The player in the big blind, who has asked to remain anonymous, called the all-in (Kellett covered him) and Dando folded.
Anon: [AKh]
Kellett:
Kellett needed to catch a ten to avoid doubling his opponent up, but it was Mr Anonymous who improved, catching a king on the river of the board.
There has been some good banter over on Michael Mizrachi's table between him and Chin Chai Koh. Koh had raised to 8,500 from middle position and Mizrachi three-bet to 20,000.
"I have baccarat," said Mizrachi.
"What does that mean?" came the reply. "I don't even know what that means!"
Mizrachi explained that in baccarat picture cards are zero and that his hole cards added up to zero, therefore baccarat!
"Mine equal 18," said Koh
Eventually, Koh folded face up and Mizrachi showed
As Mizrachi added the chips to his stack, Koh told him that if Mizrachi wins the Main Event, he wants to be in the winner's photo and that Mizrachi has to tell everyone that Koh's the man!

Daniel Adam led from middle position for 7,000 on the flop and was quickly called by Michael Mizrachi on the button. Adam then check-called a 7,000 bet on the turn and a 10,000 bet on the river.
"Ace-king is good," said Mizrachi, but Daniel held better than that, he held the and scooped the pot.

While there are 57 players remaining, there are only 56 in their seats because Dominic Kay's seat is empty and his stack is blinding away. If anyone knows Mr Kay, it may be worth trying to contact him to let him know his situation!
The Netherlands' Pieter de Korver has fallen in 58th, bringing the money bubble ever closer.

Yiannis Liperis limped in from under the gun and the action folded to Ben Dobson in the cutoff. Dobson seemed like he was about to pull the trigger and put in a raise, but he ultimately folded. Fuad Serhan checked his hole cards, looked who was left to act, and raised all-in for 132,000. Mitchell Johnson folded in the big blind, putting the action back on Liperis.
After 15-seconds or so, Serhan asked the dealer if he was allowed to talk. When told he could, he began his speech play.
"I have a very good hand. I can beat ace-king, ace-queen, and ace-jack," said Serhan. "Let's keep this friendly and stay here for a little bit longer. I tell you, I have a very good hand, you won't be disappointed when you see it, I will show you."
Liperis folded a couple of minutes later and Serhan asked if he would like to see his hand.
"Which hand would you like to see? This one or this one?" turning his hands palm up.
Serhan then turned his cards over to reveal . Liperis joked that he had aces and didn't want to bubble and Serhan said he didn't believe him.
"If anyone doesn't like me talking, I will give you my headphones when we're in a hand," offered Serhan while the dealer prepared to deal another hand.

Matt Harris started the day as the shortest stack and he has been unable to spin it up, having bust a few moments ago. Only 58 players remain, with 54 of them being paid.
Jamie O'Connor was the first to act and he raised to 8,000 from the hijack. Michael Mizrachi called in the cutoff, Chi Zhang called on the button, Robert Davies called in the small blind and Craig McCorkell made it five players to the flop.
Everyone checked to Mizrachi who bet 10,000. Only O'Connor called and the dealer placed the on the turn. O'Connor checked, Mizrachi bet 20,000 and it was enough to win the pot.
