A player in the hi-jack seat pushed his last 19,500 chips in the middle and found a caller in our chip leader Michal Polchlopek. The hi-jack player tabled 
and Polchlopek 
.
On the flop of 
, the at risk player was playing dodge the board, as Polchlopek had flopped both a flush and gutshot straight draw. Miraculously the board bricked out 
and the players at Polchlopek's table may now think the tides are changing for our chip leader.
Math More's run came to and end after shoved for 30,000 with 
and walked into an opponent holding pocket queens.
JP Kelly's seat is now filled by another soul. He never made a comeback from the recent loss.

Michal Polchlopek found himself doubling up yet another player and this time the price was just over 50,000 chips.
Polchlopek opened in mid position, and when the button shoved his 50,000 chips, Polchlopek felt obliged to call.
Polchlopek was in bad shape with his 
against his opponents 
.
There was no real sweat as the board ran out 
and Polchlopek's monster stack has taken a bit of a dent as he now moves down to 190,000 and change.

Aleks Brkovic is enjoying his coverage from PokerNews today, and has commented on the fact that every time our field reporters pass his table, he always doubles. This time it was at the expense of Radoslaw Kopec.
Brkovic opened in mid position to 6,000 and found some resistance from Kopec on button. Kopec raised to 15,100 and Brkovic moved all-in for 90,800. Kopec didn't take long to make the call.

The clock was paused with eight minutes remaining on the level and the players were sent on a break. The TD wanted to colour up some of the small denomination chips and do some rough counts so as to be more ready for the redraw when the bubble bursts.
The bubble burst on the first hand back from break.
Mark Maontague, who was crippled by Harry Demetriou a short while ago, moved all-in for his last 6,300 from the button. Both blinds called and checked the 
board all the way down.
Montague opened 
for a pair of nines but lost out to George Moussa who rivered a jack with
