No sooner had the fashionably late Marcel Luske arrived than he was heading for the door again. All in preflop with against his opponent's , he suffered a bit of a bad beat on the board to give him the rest of the day off.
It hasn't been a good day for Nam Le, first getting his aces busted by flopped trips, and then running into them for his last several hundred chips. Of course, his sixes didn't spike a set, and he was gone.
Currently contending for the chip lead is one Lee Watkinson. Raising it up to 400 preflop, Watkinson received three callers who all saw a flop. After Watkinson's bet of 1,500 was called in one spot, he then pushed all in for 4,600 on the turn and again was called.
With Watkinson flipping for the overpair, his opponent could only muster , which failed to improve on the river.
Somehow crippled to just 150 in chips, Perry Friedman found himself all in on the big blind with . Although it looked bleak with multiple opponents, second pair was enough on an board to see the 2002 bracelet winner more than treble up to the 500 mark.

All in with against the of Lex Veldhuis, the stunningly beautiful Jennifer TIlly received no help on an board and was sent to the rail. Not to worry though, Tilly has been a prominent presence during this Series, so we're bound to see her again soon.
