Time for a Break

[user46392]

Time to smoke, probably, or mill about and make small talk with people at the bar.

Kyllon 'Em Dead

[user46392]

Up on the main feature table, an enormous pot sort of quietly erupted -- we caught up with Jens Kyllonen moving all in from the big blind position, the board reading {6-Hearts}

. Over to Jussi Nevanlinna who appeared to have been the initial aggressor -- and a swift fold sent the 115,000 pot over to Kyllonen.

Kyllonen: 170,000
Nevanlinna: 60,000

Esfandiari Doubles

[user46392]

Antonio Esfandiari somehow magicked himself a double up, getting his chips in with {A-Diamonds}

against his opponent's {J-Clubs}

on a

flop.

Turn: {8-Spades}

River:

Esfandiari back in the game on 120,000.

Jason Mercier appears to have absorbed a hit on the feature table. He's slipped to 179,800 from a previously reported 205,200. He's still well above the 92,800 average, however.

In Seat 9 of the feature table is the ever-popular David Docherty with 169,000. More fans that Man U, that lad.

Taking the Mick

[user4144]

Michael Tureniec, who recently finished second in the English Poker Open, has been eliminated from today's event. He found himself all in with {A-?}

versus

, but failed to improve.

Here Come the Girls

[user4144]

One player who has passed under the radar somewhat today is future Mrs. Snoopy, Liz Lieu. Having started the day with 65,600, she's managed to increase her stack by 50 percent and now has over 90,000. She's not in easy company, however, as Lieu makes up a quartet of familiar faces that also includes fellow femme fatale Annette Obrestad. The 2007 Champ has 80,000 and is always dangerous.

Further along the balcony you also have Spanish WSOP hero Leo Margets. She just three-bet Keith Hawkins open of 2,500 to 9,000 to pick up a pot uncontested, and now has 45,000.

Nau More Sandra

[user46392]

Ms. Naujoks - no longer improving the visual environment of the Empire

Up on the main feature table, Sandra Naujoks got her last in with pocket {7-Diamonds}

, but Jussi Nevanlinna woke up with pocket {K-Hearts}

and a bunch of blanks later, we lost the EPT Dortmund champ.

Board: {6-Diamonds}

-- note the lack of sevens

Damaged But Not Broeken

[user46392]

Noah Boeken is still not having a fantastic day -- he was down to around 18,000 when we strolled by his table last.

Nevertheless he clawed a few back as small blind Ashton Griffin raised and Boeken made the call out of the big blind.

They proceeded to check down the {A-Hearts}

board and Boeken flipped over {7-Diamonds}

with a silent and surly look on his face. It was good enough, though -- Griffin mucked, and Boeken made a tiny recovery to 23,500.

Monnette Nguyens Chips

[user46392]

John Monnette is not giving up yet -- he just now shoved to a raise from table neighbour Men Nguyen. Nguyen looked a bit unwell, and eventually folded.
