More Toby Lewis magic happening right in front of our eyes, as he doubled up again and is now right back in contention on 100,000 or so.
Yavor Anastasov Tutev opened to 6,200 from the cutoff and on the button Lewis shoved for 41,800. Paul Knebel, the man who did the initial damage to Lewis' stack, re-shoved from the big blind. It was enough to get rid of the original raiser, and Lewis was once more at showdown for his tournament life.

Board: ... !
Lewis duly doubled up again. He won the next hand as well, a more modest affair, and his stack is now back into six figures.
Francisco Torres (who it must be said bears a passing resemblance to dashing swordsman Inigo Montoya) opened to 11,000 from UTG before David Sonelin reraised to 24,800 in the middle position. Kevin Stani then cold 4-bet to 64,000 from the small blind with Torres quickly moving all-in for about 90,000 total, Sonelin tanked and folded but Stani made the call with a slightly sickened look on his face.

The board came and the Spaniard doubled up to over 200,000 while Stani dropped to around 130,000.
It seemed as if Table 5 had been on hold since the last spate of all-in shoves from permashortstack Opria Cristea - having doubled to 60k, that's exactly the amount he moved in for over the top of another Manuel Bevand open (for 7,000). Bevand thought for a while but made the call with , and Cristea showed .
Cristea dodged the overcards on the flop but the hit on the turn to send him packing. Bevand is up over 160,000 now.
Yavor Anastasov Tutev's tournament is over after he clashed with Paul Knebel over on table eight, where all the action seems to be of late.
Melanie Weisner got the party started with a raise from under the gun to 6,700, this was met with a re-raise from Tutev in the hijack seat totalling 17,200 and then Knebel, from the small blind, made it 50,000 to play!
Weisner mucked her hand but Tutev moved all and Knebel instantly called the extra 30 or so thousand chips.

The final board ran out and Tutev was eliminated around 30 places from the money
Olivier Daeninckx opened for 7,500 under the gun and Tobias Reinkemeier made it 20-something-k in the hijack. Daeninckx shoved, Reinkemeier called, and within moments Daeninckx was nodding approvingly and doubling up to 145,000. Reinkemeier's still not in bad shape on 240,000.
Peter Skripka raised and Besim Hot called in the hijack before John Eames shoved from the big blind. Skripka called all in, Hot folded, and they were on their backs. Eames had Skripka covered by a mere 600 chips.

Skripka doubled to 185,000. Half of Eames' remaining stack went in as the ante next hand, and the other went in as a partial small blind. Sergio Rodriguez Sanchez raised, everyone else folded, and seconds later Eames was busto.
