Maria Ho has built on her lead and now has more than triple the starting stack after Jonathan Jaffe shipped his entire stack into her top set.
Maduka Meragal got off to a hot start today, but fell at the hands of Kristen Bicknell after running into her pocket aces.
Seth Davies was eliminated earlier but has re-entered, as has Pascal Lafrancois. They are going in different directions, however, as Davies has lost the majority of his stack while Lafrancois has chipped up.
