Celso Padilha has just been seen heading towards the door and Nikolay Ponomarev spotted collecting a hefty pot at the same time. Sensing he had something to do with his departure, PokerNews headed over to ask Ponomarev what had happened and he kindly relayed that all the chips had gone in preflop with Padilha holding ace-jack offsuit to his own 
, which held.

Joan Hadley, the only woman to take a seat so far in this leg of the Tour, has just moved all in against Chia Fu Hsu on the turn with 
out. Hsu called her and sighed when he saw that his 
top two pair was behind to Hadley's set of 
.
With no ace or queen on the 
river, Hadley is up into six figures for the first time. Although Hsu has taken a hit, he is still a little above the 76,000 average.

Edgar Drozdov has just eliminated Dante Matei after the two players got it in on the flop in a multi-way hand.
It all began with an under-the-gun limp and a 7,500 raise from early position before Matei flatted the button, and Drozdov and Joan Hadley called from the blinds.
It was a 
board and everyone checked to Matei who announced his all in. Drozdov insta-called on his left and everyone else moved aside.
Edgar Drozdov: 
Dante Matei: 
It was top pair vs an open-ended straight draw/flush draw combo and by the time the 
had completed the board, Drozdov had made a straight, sending Matei out the door.
