Boulden Busts Dempsey
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
Benjamin Boulden raised and had two black T-1,000 chips in front of him before the action got to James Dempsey. The Brit moved all in for 6,575. "You don't have to call," Dempsey told to his opponent but Boulden grabbed a T-5,000 chip and tossed it in with the words "guess I am live".
"What's going on here Watto, I thought you had control over this table?" Dempsey joked to his table neighbor Steven Watts when he saw the 
of Boulden, racing against his own 
. Dempsey didn't like the 
flop at all and his request to the dealer to pair the board was not granted. While the 
turn was a blank, the 
river gave Boulden the straight.

No Break After this Level
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
At the end of level seven, the green T-25 chip denominations will be removed from the tournament and the staff has just informed the players about it. There will be no break, but rather the clock is paused for two minutes to take care of the chip race. One player on each table has been asked to buy off the small chips in order to facilitate the procedure.
Zagon and Cimbolas are Stacking
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
Matas Cimbolas just arrived at his new table when Vasile Calin Zagon had three-bet to 3,700 preflop and found two customers. They headed to a flop of 
and checked through before Zagon then bet the 
turn for 5,000. Both opponents eventually let go and the Romanian flashed the

Watts With Usual Massage
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
Steven Watts was deep into the think tank or simply enjoyed the current massage when being involved in a hand against Adam Owen. The latter bet a jack-high flop and Watts released his cards. The seat next to him is empty, which means Carlo Citrone couldn't spin up his short stack anymore.

How did Allen get the Chips?
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Kevin Allen came back to his seat just now and we approached him how he got the chips. In the first major hand he had flopped a set of sevens in a three-way pot and knocked out an opponent with 
for top pair and a straight draw on the turn.
The second hand had Allen to the four-way flop of 
with 
and he got it in to receive a hero call by an opponent with 
. The turn gave the opponent a slight boost of confidence with top pair, but an eight on the river completed the straight for Allen.
Must be nice.
Hazan Punishes Pham
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Paul Pham was preflop all in with pocket jacks and had a coin flip against the 
of Jeraint Hazan, who had bagged up a top-five stack after day 1a. A king on the flop was followed by an ace on the turn and the river to give Hazan a full house and send Pham to the rail. The Frenchman can still play tonight's day 1c flight though to advance to day 2.
