Asger Boye has doubled up after getting all-in with 
(as you would) on a 
board (as you would). He was all-in against Mikhail Lakkitov's 
and survived after a 
turn and a Ah} river which gave Boye unneeded quads.
Spencer Hudson, sitting comfortably with over 41,000 currently, gave it his best shot to dislodge Martins Adeniya from a hand, only to find himself down several thousand chips.
It looked like Adeniya had raised preflop from mid postion, called by Hudson. On the 
flop, Adeniya led for 675, and called when Hudson made it 1,750. The turn brought the . Now Adeniya check-called Hudson's slow bet of 3,250.
The river was the 
. Once again, Adeniya checked. After a perfectly still dwell-up, Hudson bet 5,500 which was snap-called. Hudson mucked his hand. Adeniya asked the dealer if he had to show his hand or not - she confirmed that he could take the pot with no showdown. This didn't sit right with Hudson, although he accepted the rule from the dealer with minimum fuss.

A strange hand just dented Team PokerStars Pro Arnaud Mattern's stack yet further (he's down to around 16,000). The player in Seat 10 (we're just waiting on the final Day 1a player list) raised under the gun, and Loannis Fatouros three-bet to 1,200. Mattern, in position on them both, flat called, as did the big blind and the initial raiser.
The flop: 
Check. Check. Check. Check.
The turn: 
The big blind checked again and UTG bet out 2,125. It passed to Mattern, who chose that moment to apply pressure in the form of a raise to 6,100. The action returned to UTG who paused for quite a while. Eventually he took the plunge, moving all in for 14,225, and was rewarded with an immediate fold from the French pro.
Victorino Torres has made an excellent recovery - he's now back above his starting stack, on a very respectable 35,000. Most recently we saw him pick up a small pot on a 
flop. His opponent had bet out 1,000, but a raise to 3,000 from Torres was enough to secure the Northern Mariana Islander the pot.
Antonio Matias has increased his stack to 40,000 after elminating a player. The busted gentleman, who'd taken the seat earlier vacated by Rodrigues (more of a revolving door, that 32 seat 1) made his all-in intentions clear preflop by raising Matias' initial 650 to 4,700, leaving less than that behind. Matias called, then set him in on the 
flop. He'd hit nicely with 
and the shorter stack could only stand up and watch as his became his final hand with the 
turn and river.
A gentleman who identified himself to us as Claus Rasmussen (we believe the same Claus Rasmussen who finalled the 2008 LAPT San Jose, although we're still waiting on the official player list here) had a stroke of good luck when his pocket kings came good against a hapless player's pocket aces. The board came down 
and Rasmussen is up to over 60,000.
Allan Bække raised to 725 preflop and Simon Persson flat-called on the button before Tomas Lingurz reraised to 2,800 from the big blind. Bække folded but Persson made the call to see a 
flop. Lingurz continued the aggression betting out 5,000 and Persson called.
On the 
turn Lingurz moved all-in for around 12,000 and Persson let out a rueful smile, calling and turning over to Lingurz's . A 
on the river and Persson saw his stack drop to around 50,000
Jami Juutila bet out 825 on a flop and Knut Nystedt made the call in the small blind before Team PokerStars Pro Ville Wahlbeck check-raised to 2,600.
Juutila made the call while Nystedt folded before the 
turn. Wahlbeck now bet 4,000 and Juutila called again to see a river. At this point, Wahlbeck briefly tanked before moving all-in for 15,225. Juutila tanked for several minutes before folding albeit not without a lot of reluctance.
