The TV table has been in operation from level three meaning it's been very difficult to get anywhere near. We were frustrated by the lack of access so we asked the TV crew to bring us regular chip counts. You''ll have to catch the TV shows to see how the following selected names got their chips:
Level: 8
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 75
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Team PokerStars Pro Henrique Pinho is back above his starting stack after doubling up through Walter Blattler. The chips of both players went in preflop, Blattler covering the Portuguese pro by 12,325 chips, Pinho holding 
and Blattler 
.
Pinho took the lead on the 
flop and he stayed in front as the turn and river were the 
and 
respectively.
- Ilan Boujenah tried the old donk-bet maneuver but it failed to work. He peeled a 1,100 button raise to see a
flop where he bet out for 1,700. The dealer raised to 4,600 and Boujenah snap-folded. - Shaun Deeb is still going along nicely. He opened to 1,100 from early position and was called by Leonard Bilokur on the button and the small blind. He continued for 2,050 on the flop and only Bilokur called. The Russian wasn't interested in continuing any further than that and folded to Deeb's 4,500 bet on the
turn. - Yury Gulyy is back to his starting stack after he three-bet from the big blind and led on a
flop. The flop bet did the job as his opponent ran to the hills.

We were attracted to the table Shaun Deeb calls home after there was some commotion on the rail of it. Konstantin Puchkov was sat in the small blind with 11,000 in front of him and Deeb was in the cutoff having moved all-in for circa 60,000.
Puchkov sat for close to a minute before letting his hand go. The Russian then argued that his 11,000 raise was actually just a call but Deeb thought it was an overchip raise. Deeb asked the floorman Paul Neaves for his opinion and he said if he had to rule he would have called Puchkov's action a raise.
After Iliodoros Kamatakis checked the 
board with 14,150 chips in the middle, Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen bet 8,500. Kamatakis check-raised all in and had Jorgensen covered. With 22,400 behind, Jorgensen gave it up and Kamatakis won the pot.
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Anton Wigg opened the betting with a raise to 1,200 from middle position and his only customer was Mathieu Clavet on the button, albeit it after a little kerfuffle due to Clavet not putting enough chips into the pot not once but twice! He eventually put in chips worth 1,200 and it was off to the flop.
The first three cards onto the board were 
and Wigg made a continuation bet 1,800 but then folded when Clavet moved all in for 10,975. As he folded, Wigg showed 
and he does not seemed too bothered about missing out on this pot and he is busy bopping along with whatever his choice of music is. We like to think it is the Minnie Ripperton classic "Loving You" but that is unconfirmed.
