Anton Thotatinsson (sporting impressive full sleeve tattoos and hailing from Iceland, no less) has doubled up to just under 400,000 in a blind on blind preflop hand which pitted his sb 
against bb Jean-Philippe Raymond's 
. Raymond moved in when Thotatinsson raised to 41,000 and was immediately called by his dominating hand. He spiked two pair for good measure on a 
board, and leaves Raymond with just 122,000.
Ben Wilinofsky and Saar Wilf were playing a fairly large pot as the Canadian fired out 128,000 on the turn of the 
board. Wilf made a fairly quick call to see the 
river which seemed to be a blank.
Wilinofsky asked thought for a moment before making a bet of 318,000.
"Okaaaaaaaaay... I think you're value betting...You think ace queen is good?"
A short pause from Saar, "Ok, I call."
Wilinofsky turned over 
for two pair to win a substantial pot. He then picked up the next pot and now has about 1.5 million.
Igor Ivashkiv has been knocked out by Robin Ylitalo after running 
into the Swede's who dodged a bullet or two on a board of 
. So ends the adventures of our Kazakhstani player, Ylitalo is up to 800,000.
The flop read 
when we got there and newly chipped up Ben Wilinofsky on the button was betting 38,000. Saar Wilf, who had checked the flop from the big blind, now called.
They saw a turn - the 
- and Wilf now bet out what looked like 50,000. Very swiftly, Wilinofsky folded. He must have picked up another pot since that huge pot against Wilf, as he was still at a roughly chip-leading 1.5 million after that. Wilf edged back up to around 700,000.
Timo Pfützenreuter is out, making a last stand in the big blind with under 200,000 against cutoff raiser Darin Kramer. He held but unfortunately for him, Kramer was holding 
and called quick as a flash. The kicker ended up playing as the board ran down 
and Kramer began engaging in a bit of chat with his neighbour demonstrating the phenomenon of chirping chips.
Jean-Philippe Raymond is not way up high - quite the contrary, in fact, as he is newly busted.
Raymond raised from the hijack and Max Heinzelmann reraised in the big blind. Raymond shoved for around 200,000, Heinzelmann snap-called, and a few moments later they were shaking hands as Heinzelmann stacked up what now looks like 1.5 million, tying with Ben Wilinofsky for the chip lead.
Raymond:
Heinzelmann: 
Board: 
With over half a million in the middle of the table, Anton Morgenstern checked the river of a board.
Looking at the 830,000 stack or so remaining that he had, Ben Wilinofsky moved all-in to cover the Russian making it possibly the biggest pot we've had so far in the tournament. Morgenstern tanked for a couple of minutes before eventually giving up.
Wilinofsky is up to 1.71 million.
Team PokerStars Pro George Danzer is back in the fight after doubling up his 293,000 stack by finding at exactly the right time that Mario Adinolfi found .
The board came out a slightly scary 
and Danzer doubled up to 600,000. Adinolfi dropped to 650,000.
We only caught the very end of the hand, which consisted of the dealer assessing Konstantin Puchkov's stack and then Ben Wilinofsky paying up, but the cards were still helpfully on the felt. Wilinofsky was in the cutoff and Puchkov on the button.
Wilinofsky: 
Puchkov:
Board: 
Puchkov doubled to a respectable 460,000. Wilinofsky is still up there with the big boys - he's at roughly 1.45 million after that.
Up at the feature table Giuseppe Pantaleo was shouting, and a moment later he was celebrating with a hug from recent bustee Timo Pfützenreuter at the rail. It's really terribly difficult to see anything that's going on up there, but we're pretty sure that it was aces against kings to double the extremely short-stacked Pantaleo up to a slightly less desperate stack.
