Up on the feature table where no blogger is permitted to go but the action is fed back to the press room on a screen sans audio, Victor Ramdin was all in.
Ramdin: 
Juan Maceiras: 
Board: 
Ramdin failed to hit, and thus becomes our 23rd place finisher.
The Dutch hopes of a deep run for tennis legend Raemon Sluiter have been dashed by a single flopped ace. Sluiter three-bet preflop (130,000) over a 43,000 raise from Tamas Lendvai, which had been called by Simon Higgins. Lendvai moved all-in, Higgins folded (saying he would probably win) and Sluiter instantly called.
Sluiter: 
Lendvai, 
The flop brought a clap from Lendvai, who otherwise remained silent and motionless through the hand: 
. The turn and river were 
and a disappointed Sluiter went to give Fatima Moreira de Melo a hug and collect his still reasonable pay check. Meanwhile Higgins maintains he folded fives.
Georges Yazbeck raised to 45,000 preflop on the button and Torsten Brinkmann called in the small blind to see a 
flop. Brinkmann checked across to raiser who bet an almost pot-sized 180,000 but the German made the call to see the 
turn where Brinkmann checked again.
Now Yazbeck moved all in for about 700,000 - an overbet of the pot which sent Brinkmann into the tank for several minutes before he finally made the call.
Yazbeck: 
Brinkmann:
The river was the 
and Brinkmann let out a sigh of relief, he's added a big chunk of chips to his stack.
Fairly cut and dried this one. Hugo Lemaire all in from the small blind with 
and called by Tamas Lendvai's 
. The board came 
and Lemaire left with minimal fuss.
Whatever had been happening to Andrew Li earlier, it wasn't good, as his stack was nearly half what it was when he started the day when he joined a full stack preflop race.
That soon changed, however, as he three-bet button Tamas Lendvai 153,000 (he'd made it 42,000 to go) and then called all in when Lendvai posed the question.
Li: 
Lendvai: 
The board ran out giving Li the 'niner' he politely requested: 
. He now has 850,000+ after three-betting the next hand for good measure out of the small blind and nicking a Domantas Klimciauskas raise.
So much for thinking that it would be going slow and steadily today...
Jose Nadal had 4-bet shoved all in preflop against Litterio Pirrotta. The Italian calling off having made the initial 3-bet.
Nadal:
Pirrotta:
The Italians on the rail began to cheer some encouragement and were shouting out loud when the board came 
. A quick countdown showed Pirrotta had Nadal covered by just 25,000 or so and the Mexican disappointedly exited in 19th place.
Torsten Brinkmann has lost over 300,000 to Eugene Yanayt in an intriguing (and lengthy) pot just now. Heads up to a flop, Brinkmann started a trend of check-calling which was to prove costly by the end. He called 50,000 on the flop, 100,000 on the turn, and then 170,000 on the 
river.
Sarah Grant caught him at the first break to discuss this hand.
"You're good," muttered Yanayt as he was forced to show his . But he wasn't, mucking and giving the start of day chip leader another chip tower to add to his collection.
Andrey Danilyuk raised to 45,000 under the gun and Litterio Pirrotta reraised to 110,000 from the cutoff. It folded back to Danilyuk who four-bet to 265,000. And then back to Pirrotta, who announced all in to cover him. Call.
Danilyuk: 
Pirrotta: 
Board: 
with the king on the door.
Danilyuk fist-pumped as he doubled to 1.8 million. Pirrotta looked crestfallen - he's down to 440,000 now.
Play has really slowed down over the last five minutes with few flops and many more walks. Ankush Mandavia is one of the shorter stacks remaining, he just pushed for around 360,000 over the top of compatriot Eugene Yanayt's 40,000 opening raise, forcing the chip leader to fold
Andrew Li moved all in on the river of a 
board and after a while Tamas Lendvai called.
Lendvai: , playing the board
Li: - also playing the board
"You psycho, man," laughed Lendvai.
"Nice call," Li giggled back. Choppety chop.
