Marcin Horecki open-shoved in the hijack and Guillermo Garcia on the button paused for just a moment before calling. Both blinds folded, and they were on their backs.
Horecki:
Garcia:
Board:
Horecki made a noise like air coming out of a tire when he paired his queen on the turn, and then announced, "Phew," as he doubled up to around 180,000. Garcia was left with a not-very-healthy 130,000.
Konsta Vesterinen opened for 14,000 and when David Metelo moved all in, it folded back around to Vesterinen who announced, "I've got to call," and then did just that.
Vesterinen:
Metelo:
Board:
Vesterinen's flopped full house was pretty decisive, and Metelo hit the rail. Vesterinen moved up to 290,000.
Robert Willis opened to 17,500 from early position before William Thorson reraised to 33,500 with just 20,000 behind him. Teddy Sheringham thought about getting involved next to them but folded before it was passed back to Willis who set the Swede all-in.

Thorson:
Thorson was all ready to pack up and head to the cashier but the board came . Willis took a small hit to his meaty stack but Thorson doubled up to 110,000, still short but at least he relax a little.

Evgeniy Zaytsev and the eye in the sky
Evgeniy Zaytsev busts in 39th place just when it seemed he was primed for a double through. Michal Karolak had opened for 15k, and button Zaytsev moved in preflop for 140,500 total. No one else was interested but Karolak gave him a spin with - dominated, as it turned out, by Zaytsev's .

Short stack boost for Robert Cezarescu now, as he more than doubles to 250k. Toby Lewis opened for 18k, and button Erik Van Den Berg threebet him. Over to small blind Cezarescu, who paused for effect, then moved in for 114k total. Lewis passed and Van Den Berg sigh-called with . Cezarescu tabled and watched the board bring a breath-hold as the turn brought four hearts for his coverer () but the river was the and he gets his double through
Patrick Carron open-shoved from the cutoff into Fabrizio Ascari's big blind. "Yes! Yes yes! Number one!" shouted Ascari, and then asked the dealer, "How many chips?" before the action had even got around to him. In the small blind, chip leader Toby Lewis announced a call.
"I see my card now," Ascari told the table. Then, "I pass." He flashed the .
On their backs, and Carron was in trouble.

Board:
"I had king-eight, once," lamented another player, but no-one seemed particularly to care. Carron was busto and Lewis was up to what looked like almost a million in chips.
Ascari continued to needle Lewis, who calmly but completely ignored him. "Number one," Ascari said, giving up on Lewis and turning to us at the rail. "Not for the table. For a few minutes."
With that cryptic adieu from Ascari, we retreated from the table.
