Jason Wheeler is the latest casualty to fall from the feature, the place where poker players go to die.
Apologies for the sketchy details but we heard that he flopped top two-pair on a 
flop only to run into Daniel Gomez's pocket kings for top set. The money went in on the 
turn.
Gomez's new chip count is on the way in an official chip count post.

The second level of the day is over. The players are on a short break.
Fady Kamar was down to less than 300,000 when he moved all-in with pocket fours. The action folded around to Bernard Guigon in the big blind and he called with ace-king and flopped a king to take the pot and the scalp.

We have just been told that Vadzim Markushevski has doubled up through Fady Kamar. We believe the action was on the turn on a board of 
(two diamonds). Kamar check-raised, Markushevski moved all-in and Kamar called. Markushevski was holding for a set and Kamar was holding 
for top pair with the flush draw. The diamonds stayed away and Markushevksi had doubled up.

Once again we have another elimination on the TV table, so we couldn't see the action. All we know is that Danchev was eliminated by Sergio Castellucci.
Tudor Grangure has just been eliminated from the feature table. We caught him just before he was handed his €40,000 consolation prize and he told us that he got it all-in pre flop holding 
, but Jason Wheeler woke up with to take all of his chips.
Intrepid reporter MarcC has just reported on one of the strangest double ups he had ever seen and it involved Dan Abouaf. A few hands later and we can report that Dan Abouaf is out. He moved all-in with pocket treys and was called by Rodrigo Caprioli holding pocket sevens. The board was three-less and Abouaf was out in 22nd place earning €40,000 for his troubles.
I still can't quite believe the hand I saw that enabled Jesse Martin to double up.
Dan Abouaf raised to 56,000 from the cut-off and watched as Jesse Martin three-bet to 262,000 from the cut-off. Abouaf though for two minutes and then just called, to a few raised eyebrows from those not in the hand.
The flop fell 
and Abouaf moved all-in, snapped off by Martin.
As the cameras moved in to film, Martin told his opponent that he had a set. Abouaf's reply came, "Good for you."
Martin: 
for middle set.
Abouaf: 
for bottom pair!
The board ran out 
to make Abouaf trips, but it also filled up Martin.
No one could really believe what they just saw. It's not they're playing for €1.5 million or anything.

Michael Dietrich raised to 50,000 on the button and Andoni Larrabe Sánchez called in the big blind. The flop was 
and both players checked. On the turn we saw the 
and Sanchez led for 65,000 with Dietrich making the call. The river is the 
and Sanchez led once more, this time for 125,000 and Dietrich paid his dues. Sanchez turned over 
for top pair and Dietrich mucked his hand.

Mohsin Charania raised to 53,000 in the hijack seat and Lucille Cailly three-bet to 110,000 in the cutoff. Back to Charania and he made the four-bet to 220,000. Cailly studied his stack but eventually decided to fold.

Pratyush Buddiga raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Rodrigo Caprioli three-bet to 115,000 on the button to end the action.

Anatoly Gurtovoy raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Mohsin Charania closed him down with a 140,000 three-bet from the small blind.
