Squeezy Moorman
Under the gun, Ilan Rouah opened to 6,300, and David Peters called from the small blind. Last to act was Chris Moorman, and he squeezed in an all-in shove over the top from the big blind. Rouah and Peters quickly ducked out of the way, and Moorman was able to add nearly 15,000 chips to his stack.
On the next hand, it was John Tabatabai opening the pot to 6,000 straight from the under-the-gun dot. Peters was in there again, only this time he was the one doing the re-raising. From the button, he three-bet to 16,200, but Moorman was still lying in wait with yet another re-raise up his sleeve. From the small blind this time, Moorman squeezed all in again, about 85,000 total this time. Tabatabai gave him a good long stare before letting his cards go, and Peters apparently had an easier decision as he quickly folded as well.
Without even seeing a flop, Moorman has bostered his stack by 40,800 chips. He's back over the 100,000 mark now, having fully recovered from nearly three levels of being blinded out.

Chris Moorman Eliminated in 12th Place (£9,608)
Chris Moorman opened to 6,000 from UTG and Chris Bjorin made the call in the small blind. David Peters reraised to 21,100 from the big blind and the action went back onto Moorman.
The young Brit thought for several minutes, looking deep in concentration before announcing a 4-bet to 38,100. Bjorin folded and the onus was back on Peters who did not take too long before moving all-in. Moorman nodded and made the call with a dominated 
against Peters 
for a 200,000 chip pot.
The flop came 
and suddenly Moorman took the lead but the 
on the turn meant it was just a king or a jack on the river he needed to avoid. The 
came though on the end and Moorman becomes the first casualty of the final two tables.
Bjorin Bluffed - Part Two
Despite building up a big stack heading into our final two tables, Chris Bjorin has been forced to see a couple of bluffs, the latest one courtesy of chip leader Ilan Rouah.
I joined on the 
flop, but it appeared as though Bjorin has raised it up from under the gun and Rouah flatted his button.
On the flop, Bjorin led for 6,000, only for Rouah to bump it up to 15,000. Bjorin made the call, leading to a 
turn which both players checked.
The river was the 
, and after Bjorin had checked, Rouah fired out a bet of 22,700. Bjorin thought and thought, then thought a little more before eventually finding the fold, only for Rouah to flip a paltry 
onto the felt.
Praz Bansi Eliminated in 11th Place (£9,608)
Praz Bansi made it 6,700 to play, and Andrew Pantling put in the call next door. It was just the two of them, and they were heads up to a 
flop. Bansi followed up his raise with a bet of 8,000, only to see Pantling raise it up to 22,500. Bansi announced an all in for somewhere around 70,000 total, and Pantling instantly called with the covering stack to put his man at risk for his tournament life. And the news was not good for the Brit.
Showdown
Bansi: 
(top pair)
Pantling: 
(bottom two pair)
Bansi was going to need some help with a quickness if he was going to make the dinner break. The turn 
did give him another three outs by default, but the river 
was no help. Pantling's full house is the winner, and that knocks off Bansi in 10th place just as the staff is about to send the players off to chow.
Dinner Break
All that action has created a hearty appetite, it's time for a one hour dinner break.
