Priyan de Mel has been working the short stack pretty much all day, patiently biding his time for some decent cards to come around at him. De Mel finally found ace-king to work with, 
to be exact, and he managed to get all his chips in the middle on a coin flip. It was Keith Hawkins who looked him up with 
, de Mel all in for his last 25,100.
He stood from his chair, apparently a bit nervous about his fate. He need not worry, however. The dealer saved his tournament life with a board of 
, and de Mel can sit back down and keep grinding. He's now got twice as many chips as he did before, though, as he and "The Camel" have essentially traded stacks.

Mehdi Senhaji limped from under the gun and then Wesley Pantling raised to 5,000 from the next seat. IN the hijack seat sat Stephen Chidwick and he moved all in for 50,500. Action folded around to Xiang Tan in the big blind and he looked at his hand. He looked very pained for about a minute, but then finally let his hand go. Senhaji was next up and he looked pained as well.
While tanking, Senhaji looked at Pantling and asked, "Do you have a big hand?"
"I can't answer that," said Pantling, referencing that Chidwick was still in the hand.
"Yeah, but do you have a big hand?" asked Senhaji once more.
"I told you I can't answer that," responded Pantling.
"No, do you have a big hand?" asked Senhaji once more.
Pantling then looked somewhat irritated and understandable so as he explained once more that Senhaji couldn't ask that question nor could Pantling answer. "It'd be collusion, how unfair would that be to him?" finished Pantling.
When Pantling said that, Senhaji shooed him away as if he didn't want to hear anymore of it. Pantling chuckled.
Senhaji then folded his hand and Pantling also mucked, allowing Chidwick to pick up the pot.
Xiang Tan opened with a raise to 6,000 from early-middle position before Wesley Pantling reraised to 19,000 from the hijack seat. Action folded back around to tan and he made the call. The flop came down 
and Tan checked. Pantling fired 12,000 and Tan opened folded the 
after taking a couple of minutes to think it over.
Jeppe Bisgaard raised to 6,200 to open the pot, and Anton Wigg very methodically three-bet him up to 14,700 from the button. Bisgaard called, and the two men took a flop of 
. After just a moment's hesitation, Bisgaard announced an all in for Wigg's effective stack of about 49,000.
"Well... I guess I'm glad I didn't ship it pre," Wigg said, spiraling his cards into the muck with a frown.
Action folded to Xiang Tan on the button and he limped in. Mehdi Senhaji raised from the small blind to 6,200. Wesley Pantling folded from the big blind and then Tan made the call.

Dean Sanders is very annoyed. "Make sure this goes up!" he told us.
Xiang Tan had raised to 4,000 from UTG and Sanders had 3-bet to 13,000 with 27,000 behind before Tan eventually set his opponent in with 
behind to Sanders' 
but the river a king and the former Gutshot regular was knocked out instead.
Tan up to 150,000
