It's time to grab some refreshments and sample some fresh air for the next 15-minutes because the first break is upon us.
Mortensen's Aggression Pays Off
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
Dean Hutchinson raised to 400 from under the gun, one player folded and PG Senisin called. Morten Mortensen wasn't in a mood for calling and he raised to 1,550 but it didn't deter either of the active players as they both called his bet.
On the 
flop, the players checked to Mortensen and the Dane made it 2,300 to continue. Neither of his opponents were prepared to pay this premium to see the turn and their cards hit the muck one after another.

Hussain Can't Get Out of First Gear
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
It's not been the greatest of starts for Mudasser Hussain who is currently dwindling around the 14,000 chip mark. It's not for a lack of trying though because Hussain is entering more than his fair share of pots during these first two levels but not getting action when he wants it and vice versa.
A recent simple hand saw Mudasser raise to 425 from the hijack and be called by the Unibet France pro Dalibor Dedek. The flop fell 
and Dedek folded to a half-pot bet.

McTaggart Tangles With Van Keleren
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
Paul McTaggart raised to 475 from early position and the action folded around to the button, who in this hand was Daniel Van Kelkeren. After a brief pause, Van Kelkeren three-bet to 1,200. Both blinds ducked out of the way but McTaggart wasn't ready to let his hand go and instead four-bet to 3,000. Van Kelkeren called.
The first three community cards ran 
and McTaggart announced "1,800" as he tossed two blue 1,000 chips into the pot. Van Kelkeren called and watched on as the 
became the turn card. McTaggart fired again, increasing his bet to 3,500 and this was enough to get the job done as Van Kelkeren relinquished his hand.

Two Poker Goliaths Buy In
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Two more big names have entered the fray here in Glasgow, a duo that have more than $4.7 million in live winnings between them.
The Netherlands' Pieter de Korver, a former European Poker Tour Grand Final champion is in his seat and riffling chips, while at the other side of the room is Denmark's Morten Mortensen who is sure to ruffle a few feathers today and would be a good bet for a deep run in this event.

Unconventional Play Nets Westerman Chips
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Koert Westerman limped in for 100 from under the gun and after one player folded, George McDonald raised to 325. McDonald's bet was first called by Jan Magnus Karlsson in the big blind and then Westerman.
The dealer spread the 
flop, Karlsson checked and Westerman led out for 500 chips. McDonald peeked at his hole cards, smiled and then folded. Karlsson mucked around 25 seconds later.
Table 5, where these players are seated, seems to be playing the game in good spirits. There's laughing and joking among the players, let's see if that continues once one of them suffers a bad beat!
Return to Sendar
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
On a flop reading 
, Jan Magnus Karlsson checked from the big blind putting the action on Imro Sendar on the button. Sendar reached for chips and bet 400, a bet that Karlsson callled with little hesitation.
The turn was the 
and before Kalde could act Sendar bet 1,100. The dealer asked Karlsson if he had checked and he said it didn't really matter as he was folding anyway.
