Michael Mazilu opened to 2,700 and got one caller before Ektor Strumi three-bet to around 12,000. Mazilu four-bet all in for around 40,000. The caller folded and Strumi called putting Mazilu at risk.

Michael Mazilu: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Ektor Strumi: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Mazilu was eliminated, moving Strumi up above 100,000 in chips. Meanwhile Aaron Harding is the chip leader at his table with 170,000.

Just short of the halfway stage of Day 1a, Chris Moneymaker is sat on the feature table and says he's been enjoying himself.

"Not optimal. I'm sitting at 70,000 and I'm enjoying myself. I'm having a blast. It's a fun table. I've been trying to splash maybe a little bit too much.

"The numbers are great and there's a real buzz around the poker room."

Aces Cracked and Elliot Heads to the Exit

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Donald Elliot won a seat in a live satellite earlier this week, with Road to PSPC satellites held at both the Ardlea Inn and the Fitzwilliam Card Club. He’ll need to fire again, however, after his {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} got all in versus Shane McElhinney holding {q-}{q-} on a flop of {8-}{9-}{10-} for a 75k pot.

The {k-} turn was followed by the {j-} river to give Shane a straight and eliminate Elliot.
