Table 17 looked pretty hard beforehand, but now Theo Jorgensen has joined this doomy area. He's sharing the table with chip leader Iulian Iacob, Arnaud Mattern and Antony Lellouche.
Expect someone to have a monster stack on there before too long...

Mikhail Smirnov just got involved with Paul Bennazar who followed up the preflop raise by betting 3k on the 
flop when Smirnov checked. He was called, and they saw the 
turn. Check-check. The river fell the 
and Smirnov checked a third time. Bennazar, however, reached for chips and bet 12,500 of them - over the size of the pot. Smirnov sat quietly thinking for a moment or two but finally gave it up.
We've had to make some adjustments.

Andrew Teng might find it difficult with Tommy Vedes sitting a couple of seats to his left.
Teng just opened to 1,425 preflop with Vedes flatting from the button. On the 
flop, Teng bet 2,400 and Vedes made the call. The 
turn went check-check before Teng checked the 
river as well. Vedes now bet 5,700 and Teng quickly folded.
Jonathan Layani's built 'em high with a very large (in terms of volume and upward reach) stack which he's using regularly. Having not experienced tournament life as a short, or even average stack in this event since the start of level one, he doesn't seem keen to at this stage.
Just now he raised preflop to 2,000, only to find neighbour Kevin Eyster coming over the top: 5,200. Back to Layani, who counted out a bit more before impassively fourbetting to 13,500. This got a fold.
There is action all around as the 300/600 blind level really gets into its stride. Olivier Douce busts running into Kings preflop, Pierre Canali doubles to 40k through Paul Testud with 
which ended up making two pair on the river and left the veteran French player with just 7k. Ossama Chaar doesn't do so well with his 
however, racing 
preflop and missing all the way.
The early bustout rush has meant we've broken a table already which was immediately replaced with a cash game, as seems to happen seamlessly every day here.
Alexander Roumeliotis, who is the exact spitting image of fellow Swede Per Linde, just knocked out Rony Hailimi. The latter had put all his chips in on a 
flop with 
but the wily Swede was holding 
which hit the 
on the turn, rendering the river meaningless.
Paul Testud is back in the hunt after his outdid Jean-Louis Cap's 
on a 
board. The microstacked Testud is on his way back up...
Tyron Krost started the day with 43k and after just a few hands has upped it by a quarter thanks to David Lascar. The betting got big on the turn with the board 
and he put in a raise to what looked like 5,200 (when a bright pink 5k chip hits a pot it's impossible to miss); call. The river brought the 
and Lascar checked, Krost betting 6,500. Pretty quickly he was called but turned over the at which his opponent said, "Bravo," and shipped him the pot.
No early boon for Sorel Mizzi, he was all-in preflop with 
against Chuc Hoang's 
but a pesky on the flop sealed the in-form Canadian's doom.
