Remember yesterday when Yevgeniy Timoshenko came back from around 20,000 in the latter stages of play to a very decent stack and Peter Gould made his 'zero to hero' comment? Well, Mr. Timoshenko has just rocketed stratosphere-wards to grab the chip lead by a huge margin.
We arrived tableside to witness a monstrous pot in progress. The board read and Timoshenko had announced all in to cover Marc Goodwin. After a few moments' tense silence, Goodwin called.
Goodwin: for two pair
Timoshenko: for a full house
With a quiet, "Nice hand," and then what sounded weirdly like a, "Thank you," the EPT Barcelona runner up made his exit. Timoshenko meanwhile was all smiles -- he's up to a terrifying 640,000.

According to my secret source, Justin Smith was crippled when he raised Arnaud Mattern on the river of a board with two eights, but Mattern had an eight and made the call.

A short-stacked Justin Smith shoved for his 18,000 or so from the cutoff and the action folded around to Daniel Negreanu in the big blind, who thought about it out loud.
"How much more is that to me? 16,000? Man, people are going to laugh at me if I fold. Ah ha ha, you have equity. Ah ha ha."
Negreanu continued to ah-ha-ha for a little while, and then called.

It looks as though a previously short-stacked Annette Obrestad has departed; her table is now the feature table, and she's nowhere to be seen:
Seat 2: Eric Liu - 369,400
Seat 3: Chris Bjorin - 79,700
Seat 5: Sandor Demjan - 389,700
Seat 6: Dave Ulliott - 99,700
Seat 7: tbc - 45,500
Seat 8: Andre Akkari - 182,300
Seat 9: Ram Vaswani - 199,700

Just before the break, we lost online whiz Laurence Houghton. "Jacks versus kings," he reported as he munched on his chicken wings. "Eric Liu took me out."

Matt Hawrilenko & Tony Cousineau
Cousineau has just eliminated a player with versus , all in prelfop with an ensuing board. I didn't recognise the departed, but suspicions are that it was Benny Chen taking the fall.

Peter Gould raised it up, Michael Fasco three-bet, and Gould called. On an flop, Gould check-raised Fasco's bet of 27,000; Fasco folded before Gould had barely put his chips in the pot.
Gould is now on 190,000 after being down to a bowl of rice not too long ago. Brunson pointed this out. "Yeah," said Gould. "You can dream." "Sometimes dreams come true," replied Texas Doyle with his trademark smile.
