Just before the break Tristan Wade was gifted some chips by his neighbor. We picked up the action on the 
flop where Wade was facing a 525-chip bet. His response was to raise enough to put his opponent all-in for his remaining 3,100. He took a while before calling with 
for second pair. Wade tabled 
and faded any nasty out to move up to 13,000 in chips.
Level: 4
Blinds: 100/200

Here's a quick look at what's happening around the tables as of right now!
Bounty player Joeseph Cheong’s table has got tougher with Joe Elpaya and Jamie Pickering taking seats.
Ben Jenkins has been eliminated by the bounty at this table and is busy telling his sob story to a friend.
Maria Ho and McClean Karr have taken seats at Jason Koon’s table. They’ll be hunting his bounty, for sure, but he has position on them both.
Jack Ellwood was staring into space for over a minute until he realised the action was on him in a three-way pot. He checked and then folded to river bet to drop to 8,000 chips.
JP Kelly has also taken his seat as a bounty player. A quick look on twitter tells us that Kelly has yet to win a hand.
Recent World Series of Poker Europe gold bracelet winner Tristan Wade was in action on the 
flop against one other player. Wade was in position and fired a bet of 500 after his opponent checked. The player made the call an the dealer turned the 
. Following a check, Wade fired 1,075. His opponent quickly called.
The river card was the 
and completed the board. That card brought in a lot of possible draws and the first player checked. Wade took a few moments and then checked behind.
Wade showed the 
for top set of aces. His opponent showed the losing 
and the pot went Wade's way.
