Ross Parkhill has continued to pick up some extra chips. There hasn't been any major hands, but the Irish players has chipped away at Michal Polchlopek over multiple pots. Speaking of Irish, an interesting scenario just played out where the dealer was sure Parkhill was calling him an "idiot".
Parkhill was actually announcing his bet as "88".
Ross Parkhill raised to 36,000 from the button and both blinds came along for the ride. The flop fell 
and Parkill's 45,000 c-bet was only check-called by Mark Betts.
The two checked the 
turn to head to the 
river. Betts led for 84,000 and Parkhill looked frustrated as he folded, obviously not liking the club flavour of the board.

Sam Capra's day has revolved around eights. He doubled down and back up with them earlier, and now he just made quad eights to double back up again.
He was heads-up with Mark Betts and they had reached the turn of a 
board. The chips went in and Betts was ahead with 
for a flush. Capra tabled 
and managed to find the on the river to make quads and stay alive.

Michal Polchlopek is, by far, the most active player at the table. He's opened almost every pot he could since the return and defended strongly.
It hasn't all worked out for him, but he's trying to win it more than his three opponents. Mark Bett, for example, has made some great calls today but he is more of a trappy player rather than someone willing to push the action.
He's back up to 1,080,000 after calling two streets versus Polchlopek with the better the hand. He raised from the button and the Pole defended his big blind. Both checked the flop before Polchlopek led for bets on the turn and river. The final board read 
and Polchlopek's 
lost out to his opponent's 
.
