We just spotted Jouny Hanna with a big stack. The Swede, who had a deep run in Deauville not too long ago, has well over 100,000 in front of him. That makes him one of the bigger stacks in the room, and he's on our radar for sure from now on.

Johan Goslings opened the button for 1,600 and just the big blind made the call.
The big blind checked on 
and called without much hesitation after Goslings bet 1,600.
The 
fell on the turn and again the big blind checked. Goslings picked up a 5,000 chip, said 3,200, and tossed it in. The big blind again didn't waste much time before calling.
The 
completed the board and the big bind checked a third time. Goslings contemplated firing a third bullet, but eventually checked behind. The big blind showed 
and Goslings mucked.

Earlier today we saw Francois Dur on the rail, happily chatting with someone while enjoying a drink. We assumed he was out, as he looked in no hurry to get back to the tables.
We were wrong though, as we just saw him behind a stack worth at least 60,000. Apologies, the Frenchman is still in.

Nenad Sremcevic opened to 2,500 and his neighbor made the call. Dan Glimne over called and action folded to the lady in the small blind. She shoved all in for 16,200 and the big blind quickly released. Sremcevic followed suit after some thinking, and so did the first caller.
Glimne thought about it for a bit, and eventually made the call holding 
. His opponent wasn't too happy about that, she showed 
.
The small blind already got up from the table, but on the river it was time to sit down again: 
. Glimne didn't notice the straight at first, but congratulated his opponent when he got the bad news from a couple of players at the table.

Dinner break for the remaining players.
Mateusz Moolhuizen had a much smaller stack in front of him all of the sudden, and he told us what had happened.
He got it in before the flop holding ace king but was up against aces. A king spiked the flop, but no more help would surface on the turn or river.

Is that click bait enough for you?
Well, Van der Fluit did have kings but his opponent had aces. Nothing exciting happened to be honest, the board came queen high with a huge lack of kings and other options for Van der Fluit.
The bracelet winner has made his exit just fifteen minutes before the dinner break.
Jannick Wrang's chair was vacant and the Danish regular was nowhere to be found. His former neighbor told us Wrang lost last of his chips with pocket aces. According to the nine-seat, Wrang ran his big pair into someone's straight, and that was it.
