Christian Jeppsson is up to 188,500 after eliminating a short-stacked player in a most unfortunate fashion.
The player's chips all in preflop with against Jeppsson's .
Board:
Yup, that's a royal flush right there. First one this blogger has seen personally this Series. The hapless player hit the rail with nothing more than an almost-min-cash and a very sad story.
David Singer is down to 158,000 after doubling up another player. The happy doubler-upper was holding on a queen-high board when we arrived and Singer was holding ; our best guess is that the chips went in preflop. Singer didn't look at all like he wanted pay up but eventually he did, and then immediately set to texting someone - presumably to tell them the bad news.
He's still in no trouble though - he's at 158,000 after that.
Young British hopeful Sida Yuen is bust. We didn't catch what he had, just that he couldn't beat his opponent's pocket nines. They bumped fists in a most gentlemanly manner and Yuen was gone.
We can only hope that whatever gremlins were plaguing the payout system have now been exorcised. Either way cards are now back in the air with 44 minutes remaining of this level.
We're having computer difficulties with the payout system. The clock is stopped with 44 minutes left in this level. The tournament director requested that we take a 20-minute break, but the request was denied - at first. While writing this however, it was announced that we are in fact taking a 20-minute break. Fault technology for this one folks.
