Floor to Table Ivey!
![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The floor was just called over to Phil Ivey's table!
But it turned out that it was just to rule whether he and opponent Jani Sointula could use the bathroom without being penalised. TD Jack Effel told them that if only one went, then they would be blinded off once a minute, but if both went they would only lose time.
They did the gentlemanly thing and both left the table so whichever one of them heard the call of nature could do his thing.
By the by, Sointula seems to have taken a small early lead in that match.
Hansen Loses Out to Rockets
Gus Hansen took five minutes to call a river bet from Mark Everett only to be shown aces for a lost pot. The board read 
and Everett led for 11,000. Call. The 
river didn't slow him down and he quickly fired 26,000. Cue the Hansen tank and call. Hansen down to 85k after the hand.
Cool Double for Vaswani
Yevgeniy Timoshenko had built a chip lead knocking Ram Vaswani down to around 70k before one big flop turned the tables as effectively as a set of casters. The magic flop: 
. Both players were sat absolutely still as Timoshenko had thrown out 12,000. Vaswani finally broke the game of statues to raise him to 32k. Back to Timoshenko who announced, "All in," and was immediately called.
Timoshenko: 
Vaswani: 
The 
turn brought a half hearted mutter of, "Ace!" from Timoshenko but the river was instead the bumping the Hendon Mobster back to over his starting stack.

Jarvis Jilted
We would like to salute the dealer at Martin Kabrhel and Matt Jarvis' table for his really astonishing recall - we managed to miss the action, but he filled us in with amazing detail.
Kabrhel opened on the button, and faced a reraise from Jarvis in the big blind. Kabrhel four-bet, Jarvis pushed, and Kabrhel snap-called.
Kabrhel: 
Jarvis: 
Board: 
With that, we are down one November Niner, and king of the EPT side events Kabrhel become the first player in the money.
Second Man Down
Ludovic Lacay is the second bubble boy today (there will be 16 in total) after losing out to Kevin Eyster. Lacay was down to 32,000 and he three-bet all-in when Eyster made it 3,200 to go from the button. Call.
Lacay: 
Eyster: 
The board ran out 
to bust the Frenchman.
Negreanu Gets Full Asking Price on House
On the river, the super-hooded (i.e. gathered in around the whole face so that only a shadowy small area where maybe his nose is remains uncovered by grey cotton) Chance Kornuth faced a big bet from Daniel Negreanu. It represented over half his remaining stack (80k) and was made as the river double paired the board: 
. Kornuth counted out the 40k to call and finally did so, at which point Negreanu flipped his for the house, collected his payment and built his dominating stack a little higher.
Touk-Cool for School
Andrew Robl was in charge at his table, but Touko Takala just put a stop to all that with a timely double up, 
against Robl's 
.
If Takala felt the sweat of the 
flop he didn't show it, calmly sipping at a cup of coffee as the dealer put the cards on the board. His pair of kings held up on the turn and river, and he's now got the chip lead - 180,000 to Robl's 60,000.
Chip Leaders?
Heads-up tournaments are odd, with effectively each match being its own event and no-one else's progress of any concern to each individual pair (apart from the vague worry that in the next round you might get a match-up you're not keen on). But there are chip leaders at every table, and a few of them are:
Gus Hansen leading by 180k to 60k over Mark Everett
Andrew Feldman leading by 160k to 80k over Mori Eskandani
Amit Makhija leading by 188k to 52k over McLean Karr
