Antony Lellouche has been eliminated according to Stuart Rutter. He had lost most of his chips calling a raise on a flop before checking raising his opponent all-in on a turn with . Lellouche's opponent though had just flat-called the initial raise with and happily put the rest of his chips in with top set leaving the Frenchman crippled and soon after, eliminated.
With the final board reading , a player checked to Matt Waxman. A bet of 2,750 was decided on by Waxman and he dropped it out in front of his cards. His opponent tanked for a few minutes, but then made the call.

Jeff Madsen is back in the swing of things after he won a 10,000 chip coinflip holding against an opponent's . The latter even shouted for a jack non-stop as the dealer put out the board, equivalent to an online player pressing the "J" nonstop.
There was however relief for Madsen as the cards came and the former WSOP player of the year is back in this contest.
Phil Ivey has been relocated to upstairs where he's sat next to fellow Full Tilt pro James Dempsey. Whether he knows who he is or not is another matter.
Even at this early stage, Ivey required a rack in transit as he's currently the tournament chip leader with 25,000. And, of course, chip leaders need to be caressed, so Ivey has brought a masseuse to soothe all those aches and pains that come with carrying a big stack.
