After a good start, Mike Hill was all in with pocket tens against 
on a seven-high flop and the opponent with middle pair got a king on the turn. Hill never recovered from that, waiting patiently for a spot to get his stack in. 
seemed appropriate, however an opponent looked him up with 
and that was it for the Brit.

We noticed a four-way limped pot to the 
flop that got checked through. On the 
turn, the initial raiser bet 450 and Konstantin Puchkov three-bet to 1,000. The player in the small blind squeezed to 2,200 and all opponents folded. They got shown 
and the initial raiser said "that's what I want to see", cheering for the bluff that got through.

Tom Hall just registered and Leo Margets also sat down in the blue section, the Spaniard is on her second bullet for the day.
Dinesh Alt dropped below starting stack after calling 1,200 on the 
flop before checking the turn. On the 
river his opponent moved all in for 1,475 with 
and Alt called, unable to beat the top pair.

In the last hand of the previous break, we spotted Gerald Karlic all in for 3,000 on the river of a 
board. He called a bet on the flop and turn {900) before moving all in for a pot-sized bet on the river with the over pair. His opponent called with 
and shipped over the chips.

The seat of Thomas Butzhammer in the blue section was occupied by someone else and thus we can be fairly certain that he has been eliminated. Instead, Alain Medesan is on the same table with an above average stack.
Federik Jensen had a short stack at risk in a three-way pot that saw him check down the 
board. Jensen had 
and the short stack was beat with 
, but the third player scooped the 2,500 pot with 
.
