Our remaining 48 players are just sitting down and opening their bags. Antoine Amourette is the chip leader still with 489,400 just ahead of Iulian Iacob, but Arnaud Mattern and Theo Jorgensen are also still in the mix.
We're not completely clear on what we are playing down to today but we will let you know as soon as we have that news.
In the meantime, shuffle up and deal!

Smirnov Iced
Mikhail Smirnov faced a re-raise preflop from Steven van Zadelhoff which was a stack of pinks big enough to put his tournament life on the line. Having at one time scaled the dizzy heights of the top of the chip standings, he had less than 75k behind after his previous preflop bet, and eventually put it all in.

Rutter Cracks Kings
Stuart Rutter got lucky yesterday after he beat Alexander Roumeliotis' 
with 
catching a Queen on the river.
Today he's started off with another lucky outdraw, he held 
against Mathieu Bernard's and spiked on the 
board.
"It's something you need to add to your repertoire!" he laughed.
Bernard actually had less chips than Rutter and was eliminated, Rutter is up to about 70,000
Hammer Of Thor-sson Smashed
Kristoffer Thorsson has been knocked out by Antony Lellouche. Thorsson pushed for 25,000 with 
and Lellouche reraised to isolate with . The first card out was a but the board followed 
and Thorsson was eliminated.
Touil Little Touil Late
Starting the day with over 45k but with the blinds rising to 1k/2k Harry Touil found himself with a stack he got in with 
- only to be looked up by 
and promptly busted.
The scant detail here is due to a hand on another table developing simultaneously which looked to be an interesting one - Gabriel Nassif raised utg to 3,500, called by Nicolas Babel. On the flop of 
Nassif check-called a bet (c.6k) from Babel, before action rather disappointingly fizzled out as the turn and river 
left Nassif showing 
and Babel the lesser 
.
The Laurent-ian Abyss
Laurent Polito has been eliminated in a 120,000 flip after he couldn't overcome Iulian Iacob's 
with
The board came 
and Polito could only bang the table in frustration. The action is fast and furious so far...
Roy Gets Haikked To Pieces
Alain Roy was all-in on a flop of 
with but Erik Haik made the call holding 
, having outflopped his opponent.
The turn was the which changed little and the 
river was as blanky as a river can be.
41 players remain.
