Van Wilder
When we reached Table 371, the flop had already fallen 
. Larry Wilder led for 18,500 and an opponent on the button called.
The dealer turned the 
and Wilder led again - this time for 28,500. His opponent again called.
The river was the 
and Wilder fired a third barrel worth 33,500. His opponent at least tanked this time before calling yet again.
Wilder rolled over 
and his opponent painstakingly mucked the losing hand. Wilder has been chipping up rather nicely, and now sits with 470,000 chips.

Ali-In
Ali Sarkeshik opened with 
and received one caller. He then pushed all in on a 
flop, only for his opponent to snap-call. In the end, it wasn't the best of situations for Sarkeshik, as his opponent flipped over 
for the flopped nuts. No assistance on future streets and Sarkeshik was sent to the rail.
"It's only when someone new comes to the table," reported Sarkeshik in the aftermath. "I haven't played a hand for five levels. People who've seen would probably fold ace-queen. I only looked at one card."

Perfect Timing
After just doubling Jorge Jesus, Will "The Thrill" Failla was all in preflop holding 
. An opponent with 
looked him up and the board was clean; 
.
Failla doubled back to 200,000 chips.
Forget Healing the Blind
Jorge Jesus moved all in blind for his last 58,500 from the cutoff and Will "The Thrill" Failla tank-called out of the small blind.
Showdown
Jesus: 
Failla: 
It was the perfect scenario for Jesus, and the 
flop gave him four extra outs to a straight. Sure enough the turned giving him that straight, and after the bricked on the river Jesus doubled to 128,000 chips.
Failla, who started the day as one of chip leaders, is now in trouble with just 70,000 chips.
Floating Through Space
Kevin Odell appears to be the new chip leader after catching his opponent's fingers, toes, and any other body part for that matter, in the cookie jar. We joined the action on the river of an 
board, and Odell was facing a bet of 99,500 into a pot of around 200,000. Although he wasn't overly happy, he made the call with 
, only to be shown 
for all the air of the English countryside. As a result, Odell is floating through space with 600,000.
Wright On
A player in middle position raised, Sammy Wright called and Simon Ravnsbaek moved all in. The initial aggressor folded, but Wright made the call for his tournament life, surprising his table by showing . Ravnsbaek had 
.
The 
flop seemed as clinical as a Ghana strike, but the Poker Gods work in mysterious ways, and after a 
turn, they duly popped a bone-crunching 
river onto the felt to give Wright the king high flush.
Whilst Ravnsbaek slipped to 160,000, Wright doubled through to 110,000.
