American Mohsin Charania started the day with just 52,900 in chips, but somehow, someway he weaved his way into the money and now has the kind of stack that makes one think a deep run is possible.
He did have it up to 550k before losing more than one-hundred grand with eights against queens.
But appeared to turn things around rather quickly, making it 13,500 pre-flop the very next hand and getting one caller in the big blind before pushing him off the 
flop with a 12k continuation bet.

Christian Togsverd has taken care of Dan Djorno after the latter picked a very bad spot to move in.
Togsverd raised from the button and Djorno defended his big blind to see a 
flop. Both players checked to the turn where Togsverd bet 12,100 when the action was checked to him again. Djorno check-raised all-in for 43,000 and was called pretty quickly.
The Frenchman tabled 
, way behind to the Dane's 
. The river came 
and off Djorno trundled off.

Just as things were starting to get heated up between big stacks Ludovic Lacay and Martins Adeniya, their table has broken.
Lacay is now at a table with WSOP and WPT title holder James Dempsey and online phenom Chris Brammer while Adeniya is sat with Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano.
None of the stacks at either player's new table appear to be a very big threat to their own.
Once the bubble burst Luca Pagano was guaranteed his record 20th EPT Main Event cash.
What wasn't guaranteed was a deep run, but that appears to be a possibility now.
The Italian Team PokerStars Pro bumped it up to 13,500 pre-flop before Marius Torbergsen three-bet, making it 31k. Pagano took his time, before shipping it in for 154k total and Torbergsen called after a count.
Pagano:
Torbergsen: 
The flop came 
and after the 
turn and 
river, Pagano's stack was twice as big as it once was.

Martins Adeniya has taken his first big tangle with fellow big stack Ludovic Lacay and moved into the lead ever so slightly.
With almost 200k sitting in the middle on a 
board, Adeniya slid out a 100k bet, forcing Lacay deep into the tank.
After a good three minutes he threw his hand away, handing the pot to Adeniya.
