An Updated for All You Loosli Fans Out There

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

With 3,300 in the pot and a flop of {7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, Sylvain Loosli checked from the big blind and Brazil's Ricardo Da Silva did the same from the hijack. After the dealer burned and turned the {Q-Hearts}, Loosli, who if you recall finished fourth in the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event for $ 2,792,533, led out for 2,000 and it did the trick as Da Silva released his hand.

It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on the Frenchman's chip count, which is down since the last time we checked in on him.

Lodden Says He Wanted Action

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We noticed a massive pot brewing at Johnny Lodden's table, with the river just arriving to make the board {3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. Lodden's opponent checked from the big blind, and Lodden bet 11,000 into a pot already containing more than 30,000. His opponent tanked a bit and then gave up his hand, saying something inaudible to Lodden.

"I wanted a call," Lodden responded as he dragged the sizable pot.

Schiffbauer Among Recent Eliminations

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We saw Rob Schiffbauer standing on the rail, which is usually a sign of elimination. Sure enough, he confirmed that he had fallen after growing short and trying to squeeze with {a-}{q-}. His opponent held {10-}{10-}, and while a queen appeared in the window, it was followed by a ten.

Gruissem Sniffs Out Danilyuk's Bluff

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

With the board reading {3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{K-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Andrey Danilyuk had bet out 1,600 into a pot of around 3,500. Philipp Gruissem, who had only recently joined the field was deep in the tank before calling. Danilyuk turned over {5-Spades}{6-Spades} for a stone-cold bluff, which Gruissem beat with {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The German pro looks to have made a good start to Day 1b.

Srinivasan Coolers Charania

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Shyam Srinivasan bet 7,500 on a board of {j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} against two opponents. Mohsin Charania called in the hijack, and the player in the cutoff made what was clearly a crying call. The famed online grinder known as "s_dot111" showed {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}, and Charania revealed {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for beaten trips. The third player showed {k-}{k-}.

Srinivasan has tasted success on the European Poker Tour before, with four Main Event cashes that include back-to-back PCA final table appearances.
