James Griggs started a preflop pot going with an under the gun raise to 900, called by a mid-position player and his neighbour Colin Downer before action landed on button Nik Leka. Leka announced a raise to 4,000, with 7,700 behind; Griggs passed and action stalled on the first caller. A bit of back and forth banter (including such classics as, "How much is a rebuy?" and the response, "If it was just me and you...") ended in a fold.
Downer, however, quickly set Leka in, tabling 
. Leka was live: 
.
The board ran out 
, the straightening potential of the turn unrealised.
"Coming tomorrow?" asked a tablemate. Leka nodded and cheerfully headed towards the cash tables.

Level 3
: 200/300, 300 ante
A mid-position player opened for 1,400 preflop, and Philip Scialo three-bet to 4,400. Conway made the cold call to see a 
heads up flop after the initial raiser folded. Scialo continued for a hefty 12,000, prompting a shove (for a little under 30,000) from Conway. Scialo called.
Scialo: 
Conway: 
.
The turn brought a few more outs for Conway as it paired his eight; the river was an 
and that doubled him to 74,000.

: 200/300, 300 ante
Brian Nelson just lost a heads up pot to Ben Davies (calling 3,000 in position on a 
flop, folding to a 5,000 bet on the 
turn after three-bet preflop) but that has not put his current chip lead into doubt. While early leader Jed Turnbull has lost a few chips, it looks like Nelson is sitting most comfortably stacked out of the 52 current competitors.

Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
A hand that ended up with a tournament-life-on-the-line moment for Kyle Watson took place at breakneck speed on Table 1. Watson opened preflop in the hijack (to something between 400 and 1,000 - there was a single orange chip in front of him) and his neighbour Ian Smith raised to 2,000. It folded round to Watson, who made the call, quickly.
Flop: 
. Watson checked to Smith, who bet 2,000 and was called, immediately.
Turn: 
. Another quick check-call combo, this time of 3,500.
River: 
. Watson now moved in almost in time with the river card becoming visible. His remaining stack: 11,800. Smith declined to call.
