Heinz Kamutzki threw $50 dollars across the table to Antoni Esfandiari who has started a collection of dollars behind his chips stack. As usual when Esfandiari is at a poker table he has initiated a game of Lodden thinks and has roped in a couplf of players to join in the fun. Esfandiari plays this game a lot.
“Nothing better than a game of Lodden with two fish.” Esfandiari crowed as he collencted the money.
Among the notable names that still freeze in the Pavilion room, we found the following players. They shall be in the Brasilia room soon though as only five tables remained and that means, we lost more than 400 players already in less than four levels.

Heinz Kamutzki just walked passed us when we checked the last tables in the Pavilion room. He didn't hurry at all and confirmed that he has been eliminated. If he finds a shaver for his hair though, he may very well be breakeven for the day as someone offered $800 if he shaved the hair completely.
We shall see in the next few days if that indeed happened.

Martin Staszko has accumulated quitre a few chips so far and must have been giving a fair bit of action so the button in a hand we witnessed must have been a bit disappointed when he opened the pot, the small blind raised and Staszko threw away his hand without much pause. The button showed 
and collected the two blinds.
At a table not too far away David Vamplew has joined the game.

Todd Terry opened the action with a raise, the player one seat over three-bet to 750 and the small blind moved all in for what looked like 1,550. Terry reshoved for three times that amount and the three-bettor folded 
, at least he admitted that in table chat.
Terry: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
and the opponent angrily tapped the table before leaving his seat.

Michael Mizrachi has been eliminated. We don't know how he previously lost the majority of his chips but just now he was all in for his last 900 or so. He had a flip with 
versus 
and his opponent made the nut flush on the turn of a 
board.

Kory Kilpatrick won the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout event for $254,891 a few days ago and was presented with his first gold bracelet and a set of gold headphones at a ceremony in the tournament room at the first break. He has now joined this tournament and is sitting at Dominik Nitsches table showing off his headphones and joking about bracelets.
Kilpatrick is also a few pages in to a book he has propped open at the table, High-Low-Split Poker, Seven-Card Stud and Omaha Eight-or-better, by Ray Zee. There’s always room for improvement.

It looks like James Sudworth has been crushing his table, because the opponents joked and already said good game to a short stack that moved all in for 800 chips. Sudworth was in the big blind and asked "should I call without looking at my cards?" before tossing in the chips for the call.
Sudworth: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
and the short stack doubled up. Other chip counts from the bronze section are attached as well.
