Sigurd Eskeland just jumped several spots on the chip leaderboard when he took down a giant multi-way pot.
The flop came and Eskeland, who held , checked his set. With two players to act after him, who both moved all in, Eskeland called and showed them that and were no good.
The turn and river blanked and Eskeland's set of eights was best. He eliminated two players and climbed to about 650,000 chips in the process.

And on the first hand Jeff Madsen played, Mike Wattel raised to 4,000 and Madsen popped it to 12,000. Wattel folded...and Madsen showed pocket aces. He tried to put the cards in his pocket as he got up for break but the dealer pointed out that this would almost certainly be against the rules.

Patrick Fortin was all in with his opponent preflop. Fortin held pocket aces against his opponent's pocket jacks. The aces held for Fortin and he's now up over 330,000.

And just as I posted that last little note, Jeff Madsen made his appearance at the Main Event. He took his seat and asked, "Did I beat John Murphy's record", recalling the 2004 Main Event where Murphy overslept and showed up very, very late. Jeff was told that no, Murphy still had the record for most snooze buttons hit during the Main Event, and then Madsen asked, "OK, so who's been the one stealing most of my blinds?" The players all pointed at who they said was the main culprit and we'll see if Madsen can win those chips back.

JaffaCake on the up.
Brian Schaedlich limped from early position before Jeff Kimber raised to 6,000 from the button and Schaedlich made the call before the flop came .
Schaedlich checked to face a 6,000 bet from Kimber that he raised up to 15,000. Kimber then reraised up to 50,000 before Schaedlich raised again and for all his chips. It was a huge raise considering how deep these two were.
Kimber snap-called with and a shell-shocked Schaedlich turned over . The turn came and river to hand the biggest pot of this year's Main Event to Jeff Kimber, a massive 681,000.
Schaedlich's back down to 387,000 and, as he was handing over chips, he commented "What could I do?"
Kimber said he would never have gone to war without the goods because of the size of Schaedlich's stack.

Call, fists pounding on the door, whatever. Apparently the reason why Jeff Madsen hasn't shown up today is because he uses his iPod as his alarm clock and his iPod ran out of juice. People have been trying to call him to no avail and now someone has actually been dispatched to his house to (gently) wake Jeff up and hustle him to the Amazon Room.
