Just before the break, the featured table was broken up. They are breaking in order of highest table number to lowest, and the feature table (#9) was the next in line to break.
Daniel Negreanu and Lee Nelson were moved to the table upstairs containing Johnny Chan and Joe Beevers. That table has since been moved onto the feature table (effectively, Daniel and Joe stayed put, moving into their new seats, and the rest of the table was moved in there).
With Ake Karlsson betting 5k on an board, neighbour Terje Augdul dwells up before nonchalantly flicking out a red 5k chip of his own.

Terje checks, and without hesitation, Ake moves all-in for 10,400, slamming the chips into the pot as if to double bluff his opponent into thinking he's weak.
Well, it worked, Terje calling with and being met by a flushalicious .
In case you are tuning in later, here's a list of eliminations that happened during the last level....
Allen Cunningham, Andreas Hagen, Jon Shoreman, David Finney, Neil Channing, Vik Kanwar, Thomas Wissner, Owen Lock, Michael Greco, Ben Roberts, Johnny Lodden, Irfan Hassan, Gerry Kane, Brendan Walls, Jeff Kimber, Justin "ZeeJustin" Bonomo, Per Hildebrand , and Howard Lederer.
Julien Bertazzon raised from UTG, Stephen Rynne moved all in from middle position and after a bit of a think Bertazzon called. Rynne tabled and was in bad shape against Bertazzon's .
"Aces!" exclaimed Jamie Gold. "What were you thinking about with ACES?!"

Joey Lovelady. Not so keen on Isabelle.
The number of hands reaching showdown, or including tantalising glimpses of mucked or winning hands, has reached a tournament low at the beginning of this level. Patrik Antonius has been busy as a bee, raising or re-raising preflop in four out of seven of the last hands. He just took both blinds from Jeff Buffenbarger, who remarked, "I look down at A-6 and it seems pretty good when you see who's raising." The Finnish overachiever continues to build his towering stacks.
Elsewhere Isabelle Mercier is prepared to put Joey Lovelady all in on a board of , after he'd called her preflop raise in the big blind, and her 5k flop bet. When she quickly fired 15k on the turn, he thought for a good couple of minutes and let it go, leaving himself under 20k to play with.
One hand saw some hole cards - they came to light with Eric Joergensen holding on a board, his would-be eliminator with drawing stone dead. Double through for Eric, then.
Away from the TV table the action has decidely slowed down a little. The cagey play that engulfed day 1b has reared its head in day 2b. Lots players just above what would be considered a short stack not wanting to make a move at this point in the game.
