We can only hope that whatever gremlins were plaguing the payout system have now been exorcised. Either way cards are now back in the air with 44 minutes remaining of this level.

Young British hopeful Sida Yuen is bust. We didn't catch what he had, just that he couldn't beat his opponent's pocket nines. They bumped fists in a most gentlemanly manner and Yuen was gone.
Fresh from the floor, washed and ready to eat.

David Singer is down to 158,000 after doubling up another player. The happy doubler-upper was holding 
on a queen-high board when we arrived and Singer was holding 
; our best guess is that the chips went in preflop. Singer didn't look at all like he wanted pay up but eventually he did, and then immediately set to texting someone - presumably to tell them the bad news.
He's still in no trouble though - he's at 158,000 after that.
