German pro Florian Langmann is known for his runner up finish in EPT London 2007 for just under $700,000, and finishing fourth in the €25,000 Monte Carlo High Roller in 2009 for $247,000. He's been having a great day so far picking up aces twice in big pots.
He told us about winning a 30,000 chip pot with aces against kings, and just knocked out Doug Lee in another big pot. Langmann raised to 500 and Lee three-bet him to 2,100. Action got folded back to Langmann who put in 3,700 after which Lee went all in for right around 11,000. Langmann snap-called.

Here are some snippets from the Gold and Silver sections of the room.
Brandon Cantu is short over at Table #11. We just saw him moving his last 4,725 into the pot over an Andy Lichtenberger button raise. Lichtenberger decided he wanted to keep his 36,000 chips and folded his hand.
Dan Kelly just moved all of his chips into the middle as well, albeit it a little bit more creatively than Cantu. Dan Kelly was seated in the big blind and his opponent was seated on the button. Kelly had moved all-in on a board of and his opponent folded. The player seated to the right of Kelly told us the action.
"The button raised and Kelly called in the big blind. Kelly then check-raised to 1,150 on the flop, the button raised to 2,500, Kelly raised to 3,600 and the button flatted. Kelly then open shoved the turn."
Last time we reported on Bertrand "ElKy" Grospellier he was at a lowly 2,200. Its seems he has had a mini revival because he is now up to 22,000.

When we last saw James Akenhead he was struggling on the short stack with around 3,000 in front of him. A change of table had resulted in a change of fortune until this happened.
We joined the action on a flop of . Scott Seiver was seated in the big blind and James Akenhead was seated in the cutoff. Seiver bet 1,800 and Akenhead made the call. The turn was the and Seiver bet 2,800, once again Akenhead called. Then on the river we saw the and Seiver bet 5,500. Akenhead took some more time on this one.
