At the very least, Scott Seiver can drown his bust-out sorrows in his stolen birthday gift. We chatted with him on the last break (before he bust out) about his roller-coaster of a day, and his recent celebrations in Vienna.

- Anton Wigg is up to 50,000 after raising his button and betting flop and turn. The board read



and the big blind called two bets before he folded to Wigg's 5,250 turn bet. - Dermot Blain was busying trying to build a stack that was heading south. We witnessed him successfully squeeze a 700 raise and call to 3,400 (out of a 20k stack), but by the time we left the room his media card was in the pile of those players eliminated.
- Bryan Piccioli and Ludovic Lacay are both sat at the same table and trying to make things happen from early position. Piccioli raised from under the gun and took the blinds and antes before folding his cards high up into the air. Lacay thought he saw a king but the American insisted he had pocket tens. The next hand saw Lacay raise but quickly fold to a three-bet. He's wearing new headphones and hope they will bring him more luck than his last "retro" pair.

Kevin Vandersmissen is never one to shy away from an opponent, even if that opponent is the current chip leader. In a hand just now, which we joined on the 

flop, Canadian Sam Chartier checked from the UTG+1 seat and then called when Vandersmissen fired a bet of 2,525 three seats to his left.
The dealer placed the
onto the turn and Chartier check-called again, this time an increase bet of 4,550. But when the river was the
both players tapped the table and checked.
Vandersmissen turned over 
and Chartier could not beat that and his hand found its way to the muck. The Belgian Irish Open champion now has 46,200 whilst Chartier slips slightly to "just" 103,000.
Konstantin Puchkov is a player who seems to have the same expression whatever is happening to him at the table. He is Russian and they have more ice in their veins than the Scandies do. He just lost a pot to drop little, but you'd never know just by looking at him.
He was in the big blind and defended a button raise to 850 from Santiago Nadal. The flop fell 

and Puchkov check-called a 800 continuation bet from the Mexican before both checked the
turn. The river saw Puchkov go back into check-call mode. The bet from Nadal was 3,025 and Puchkov mucked upon seeing 
.

From the hijack Dmitry Grinenko set the price to play at 900 and the cutoff, Germany's Andre Klebanov made the call. The button and small blind folded but Scott Baumstein raised it up to 2,900 from the big blind.
With the action back on Grinenko he four-bet to 5,500 folding out Klebanov but Baumstein was not done with this hand by any stretch of the imagination. Instead he restacked all of his chips and moved in for 16,050. Grinenko took a long, hard look at his cards before sending them towards the muck.
Patrick Tinner has just folded out of turn over on Table 3 and he will not be doing it again in a hurry because it has just cost him a two hand penalty.
Tinner mucked his hand out of turn and stood to leave the table. As he did the dealer announced "penalty" and Tinner did not take her seriously so the floor was called. Gianluca came over and ruled that because he left his seat he would not have to endure a two hand penalty and with that Tinner left his seat again and headed to wherever he was going before he was penalised.
Azad Jabrayilov has just doubled up through Martin Hauswald after flopping trips.
We didn't see the aciton but saw Jabrayilov sat with 
in front of him, 
in front of Hauswald and the board reading 



. Nice flop for the raggedy ace of Jabrayilov!
