The most well known song from Eiffel65 was "Blue" and that's all we got left here on Day 1 of the Employees Event. All other three areas are now completely empty and only blue tables remain. In fact, table 19 has already been broken as well and we are down to 162 players.
We pretty much lost 30 players in the 30 minutes after returning from the dinner break. At this pace we may have the final table before the end of level 11.
Rather short and cruel update for PokerNews blogger Josh Cahlik, who has just been eliminated a few minutes ago:

Down to only 2,250 chips, Matthew Pitt moved all in from early position with the 
. Two seats over, a slightly bigger stacked player jokingly "raised to 1 million" and the rest of the table folded.
He only had one over card against 
but that was enough for the PokerNews blogger on the 
board. "Now I have a monster stack," he said with a smirk on the face.

Right after chipping up early on, John Pack called an under-the-gun all-in bet of 3,600 from late position. His 
was behind the 
of his opponent and then ahead after the flop came 
. However, the board ran out 
, putting a straight on the board.
Pack's opponent had the seven for a higher straight and doubled up. Pack is now right about where he started the level.

With action on the turn two players had now reached the river of a board showing 
. Facing a bet of 2,000 Peter Alba raised it up to 5,000 after some brief thought. His opponent announced all in and Alba quickly made the call turning over 
. The dealer insisited both hands be turned over and Alba was jubilant when he saw his top pair was good against the 
of his felted opponent.
“Guy bluffed me again! What a great call.” Alba congratulated himself. “I am sick. Induce bluffs all day.” The adrenaline was coursing through Alba’s body as he struggled to stack his newly won chips neatly.

There is a funny Youtube video that describes how to play pocket jacks, the hero in the video however loses every single time no matter how he plays it. John Taylor three-bet shoved into an opponent and had him at risk for the last 8.250 with the 
.
It was a flip against the 
and Taylor might have jinxed it with standing up before the flop was dealt. The board then ran out 
and Taylor dropped about one fourth of his stack.
Preflop, Eric Mink raised to 2,200 and then called the three-bet of an opponent to 5.975. He then set the trap on a 
flop and got the opponent to run with the 
into his 
. Neither the 
turn nor the river changed anything and Mink doubled up for 11,550 post flop. His opponent was crippled and out one hand later.
