Pagano confidently flipped up
, only to see Adelskov table the surprise 
. There was a bit of muttering in Italian as the dealer made the pot right and prepared to run the board:
That's not so good for Pagano, his opponent knocking him off with triple aces. As he gathered his designer sunglasses and mobile phone accessories, Pagano let out a frustrated, "Niiiiiice move," before wishing his table luck and heading for the ropes.
A very hefty proportion of his stack had already found its way into the middle by the river of the
board when he checked to opponent Gijsbert Pieter in the cutoff. Pieter bet 30,000 and van Til, with just 65,000 left to his name, thought about it long and hard before making the call - and then immediately mucking with a rather sad laugh and a nod when Pieter turned over 
for the flopped nut flush.

. Fabian Gentile and ElkY were heads up for this clash, and they both checked in turn.Speaking of turns, fourth street came the

, and Gentile fired again. Well, sort of. He bet the minimum -- 3,000. ElkY looked a bit confused as he debated his options. He eventually settled on a raise to 18,800, throwing the ball right back to his opponent. Gentile wasn't going anywhere though; he stacked out a reraise and made it a total of 59,300 to skate. ElkY double-checked his hole cards, shot his sunglassed gaze across the felt, and open-mucked .Gentile nodded and held his cards for a moment as the dealer pushed him the pot. He then proudly flipped up his

Andrew Pantling was the top dog heading into play this afternoon, but it wasn't long before the field tracked him down. Thanks to an afternoon of fantastically active poker, a herd of players began to accumulate chips, and Pantling was soon swallowed up and spit back out onto the rail. With him out of the way, several other notables began to work their way toward the front. Peter Eastgate, Juha Helppi, Kristoffer "Sumpas" Thorsson, and Roberto Romanello all had their hands on the chip lead at one time or another, but they too found it impossible to stay on top for long.
We'll have to wait for the full counts from the staff, but it appears the Hungarian pro Csaba Toth has earned himself the overnight chip lead. There were still a few hands left to play when the media was relegated to the ropes, but Toth had amassed close to 600,000 by that time, and that should put him comfortably ahead of any late-breaking challengers to his throne.
The big board shows that 79 players have unofficially survived Day 2. That means that the money bubble is looming over the first few levels of tomorrow's Day 3. Sometime early on, we'll pop that bubble and head off toward the final 24 and the eventual push to the final table.
That's all we have for tonight. We'll have the full chip counts and tomorrow's table draw as soon as it's available. And don't forget to check out PokerNews TV if you're still craving some Copenhagen content. Otherwise, we'll see you back here at 2:00pm CET tomorrow!
