Murad Akhundov, who finished fourth in the €50,000 Single-Day High Roller a few days ago, has entered and took the seat that previously belonged to Charlie Carrel. Salman Behbehani is a new entry while Isaac Haxton, Stephen Chidwick and Patrick Bruel are quite short.
Bruel defended his big blind and checked down a board 
until the river before folding to a bet after the last community card. Haxton bet a four-way hand on the 
turn for 4,000 and his opponents folded.
Last but not least, Rainer Kempe opened to 1,500 and Steve O'Dwyer made it 4,000 to go from one seat over. Chidwick four-bet all in for 20,875 and got through with the move as Kempe and O'Dwyer released their cards.
