, Liu's check on the end led to a bet of 7,600 from Liu. After a minute or two of deliberation, Liu made the call but was chagrined to see Sunar turn over 
for the flopped set.As a result, Liu headed into the break with a heavily depleted stack of 3,500.

flop, Frenchman Nicolas Levi called a bet of 3,000 from a fellow countryman, but before we had a chance to reach a turn, Levi's opponent began to show his cards thinking the hand was over. At the last second, he realized the error of his ways, but the 
was revealed to the table nonetheless.The inevitable roar of "Floor!!!" was called by numerous players, and in trundled tournament director Charlie Cerese, ready to roll up his sleeve and showcase the long arm of the law. "The hand will continue," commanded Cerese, "but when completed, you will be given a time penalty."
"Can I translate that to him, please?" requested Levi, to which Cerese agreed. As they spoke in their native tongue, I resisted the urge to exclaim "Collusion!" and the hand continued where it had left off.
And so, with the ruling made, the dealer dealt out a
turn which led to a bet of 2,500, which Levi flat-called. On the 
river, and with his still showing, the Frenchman checked, before folding to a bet of 6,000 from Levi.As a result, Levi now has around 18,000 in chips and his opponent will start the next level from the sidelines.
"Er... I think 11,000 is my lowest, and I had 15,000 at one point."
"So your highest is 20,000 then," corrected neighbour James Keys with a smirk.
"I've just had lots of missed draws," explained the Frenchman. "I rivered a straight one hand, but my opponent had turned a flush. It got a bit messy because it went check check on the turn."
He may not be prospering chip-wise, but a prop bet with Roland de Wolfe has cushioned the blow. "He took some money off me coin-flipping in Vegas, but I won a prop bet today on when our table would break. Make sure you write that, I want to shame Roland."
Theo Jorgensen raised to 600 in early position.
Gary Jones called.
John Kabbaj called.
Sorel Mizzi called.
Nenad Medic called.
Then, Nik Persaud raised out of the small blind by a further 3,000. With lemon-sucking "I've been squeezed" type faces on, they all folded round until just Medic was left as a potential caller. He thought for a while, and made the call.
The flop:
Persaud bet out 4,525, leaving himself around 10,000 behind. A pause, and then Medic made the all-in move, called immediately.Persaud:
Medic:
The turn and river were the
doubling Persaud up right before the second break and dropping Medic right down. And no, the deuce was definitely a diamond.
but ran into Julian Thew's 
. A board 'so bricky you could build a house with it' later, and Steicke hit the rail.
