Stuart Rutter is dwindling down to about 24,000. He saw a four way flop of 
and bet 4,000 before Darcourt committed him and Rutter ended up folding what he said was 
.
Soon after Rutter raised to 3,500 to isolate a limper but Darcourt came along as well from the small blind.
All three checked the 
flop before Darcourt led out for 4,800 on the 
turn. Both the others folded and Darcourt showed

Theo Jorgensen is having some success against the French duo Antony Lellouche and Arnaud Mattern.
Lellouche had fired out 5,700 after Jorgensen checked the turn of a 
board. Jorgensen called and both checked the 
river though it looked as if Lellouche wanted to bet.
"Ace-Jack" said the Frenchman, showing 
.
"Ace-Ace" replied Jorgensen, flipping
Jorgensen just now picked up a pot against Mattern, betting 5,000 on the turn of a 
board and then 15,000 on the river. The second of these pushing the former EPT winner off the hand.
That's a formula for heartache for Eric Fourniols, who's a goner after getting his short stack (around 15k) in preflop with 
called by Stephane Albertini with 
and a much bigger stack. It was going to be hard for Fourniols to recover from the 
flop, and he knew it, standing up and taking his exit as the other two cards came six-high.
Elsewhere Jerome Antona doubled up another short stack with the same hand match-up, although this time the majority was check-raised in on the 
flop. He made the call with the big slick but lost a total of 40k on that hand.

Alex Kravchenko raised UTG to 2,500 before Stuart Rutter popped it up to 7,500 with about 25,000 behind. The Russian mucked, score one for the UK.
A couple of hands later and Rutter opened to 2,800 from UTG, this time Kravchenko reraised to 7,800 from the small blind. Before Rutter could act though, Mika Paasonen tanked long and hard in the big blind before eventually folding while Rutter meekly mucked as well.
Afterwards, Passonen told Rutter he folded Jacks...
Rutter nodded, "Difficult with the stack sizes..."
Aurelien Guiglini has added to his stack knocking out a short stack with 
against on a hilariously topsy-turvy 
board.
Meanwhile we have just 81 players remaining and the average stack is around 91BB's, so the remaining players certainly aren't going to be short on chips for now.
The tiny stacks are fomenting trouble every which way now, as the blinds of 1k/2k take their toll and don't leave room for waiting around - you'd think...
Paul Testud, never out of the danger zone, just got the last of his chips in, around 10k, in admittedly a good spot with 
vs. , won, and still has a mountain of climbing to do to approach the leaders.
Even more extreme might be Claus Uhrsvov, who started the day with just 15,850, and unless there has been an unnoticed rollercoaster ride in the corner, has just dwindled to 7k, although he looks fairly cheery.
Antoine Saout has joined the ranks of the supershort too, after losing a race with vs. the 
of Samlane Phomveha (who himself was in some need of a double). Saout dropped to just 8,900 though declined to play any of the next few hands.
