Chris Brammer fired out 900 on a flop of 
and Toby Lewis made the call from the cutoff. Carter Gill had other plans though and check-raised to 2,600. Brammer tanked for a minute before making the call but Lewis folded and got back to looking at his iPad before the dealer put out the 
turn.
Gill now bet out 4,500 and Brammer responded by setting his opponent all-in, a quick fold from Gill and Brammer took down the pot with little fuss.
Players are on a 15 minute break.

Back they go - but don't be expecting that number of entrants to be confirmed any time soon. Yesterday it took us eight hours to get a definite number in, and if the delay was due to the vastness of the field, we're in for another long wait today.
By the way, wherever Viktor Blom disappeared to midway through the last session, he never came back and his seat remains empty, his 19,000 or so stack being gently blinded off. There are a couple lucky gents at that table who will now be able to tell their friends that they got away with stealing Blom's blinds every time.
Upon attempting to count Amnon Filippi's chips, we were interrupted by Greg Raymer:
"Make a note for the coverage - he's not just playing the EPT, he's watching gay porn too."
And indeed on Filippi's ipad we could see some sort of cage fighting/wrestling (please forgive our ignorance on these matters) involving two rather scantily clad, muscle-bound men.
Filippi - 34,300.
Chris Brammer had opened to 500 preflop and Padraig Parkinson made it 2,200 from the cutoff, Toby Lewis then reraised to 4,475 on the button putting the onus back on Brammer.
Brammer tanked for several minutes, shaking his head in digust as he eventually folded while Parkinson instantly called the extra, with both players having around 25,000 behind.
Brammer came over and whispered to us, "Padriag has been 3-betting every hand for the last hour, any two cards, and Toby knows this so ugghh..."
As he told us this, the flop came 
and either Parkinson open-shoved or check-raised all-in, either way Lewis snap-called instantly with 
up against Parkinson's uberdrawy 
which hit on the turn and avoided another 
or 
on the 
river.
Parkinson actually had Lewis covered and so the Vilamoura champion and winner of the £1k event here can't make a deep run this time.
All these counts, from just the furthest two rows in the room. By the by, Phil Ivey's seat at Kathy Liebert's table is empty, but Ivey's not out, he's just been moved.

PokerStars qualifier was a little nervous getting his stack all-in on a 
board, against his opponent, "Do you have a set?" while flipping for his own.
Mia Lu could only show 
and got eliminated in the 40,000 chip pot after 
turn and 
river.
