Hans Eskilsson is a multi-talented person. Not only is he in the money in this tournament, he was a former goalkeeper for the Swedish National Soccer Team. After a wicked leg injury, he was forced to retire from professional soccer and has since turned to poker. His wife plays on the Swedes' ladies team. Hans currently has 119,100 in chips.

Since Daniel Mangas was eliminated in 24th position, play has slowed down somewhat. This is unusual as the next few payouts are all the same and we normally see a rash of bustouts as people take chances to move up the chip ladder. We have lost 17 players during today's play thus far.

Chip counts have been updated.
