So I caught another hand just prior to his exit where Mr. Lacay bluffed off a good chunk of change.
He raised preflop, bet several thousand on the
flop, and got called both times by one of the blinds (I think). In any case, Out Of Position Matey checked the 
turn and he checked behind.The
river saw another check to Lacay, who calmly bet 7,400 after a pause. He was snapcalled, and snapmucked, fingers stinging from being snapped in the till.However, and this is the same thing I saw once at the WSOPE last week, the winner of the hand waited for Lacay's hand to hit the muck and received the pot without turning his own cards over. No one said a thing about it and play continued.

Erik Seidel - 58,600

Chris Moorman - 30,000
Andrew Chen - 48,000
At that point he then raised to 1,200 with the small blind calling. Both checked the
flop before the small blind casually check-called a bet of 2,200 on the 
turn. The river was the

. The pot was already over 15k, but I can't say whether this bet was a raise of a Moorman turn bet or whether it was all from pre and post flop, unfortunately.Either way, it took Moorman quite a while to do it, but he made the call.
The river brought the

followed by three other spades to four-flush his opponent.No deep run in this EPT for the British player.
Frank de Boer - 102,000
Lex Maessen - 98,000
I know that Dutch qualifiers in big European poker tournaments have tended to just sweep to victory and they're half just waiting to see which one will end the day as chip leader, but I saw a lot of other stacks in the 70-90k zone. There'll be some work to do to keep in front of this lot of players. Some other big stacks:
Nick Gibson - 96,000
Vivek Rajkumar - 85,000
First he knocked out Luca Pagano with

X board, making a house on the river.The Swiss player left Kabbaj crippled as a result.
