Paul Pitchford opened to 7,500 in late position and Massimiliano Mauceri pushed all-in for around 27,000 from the small blind. Pitchford didn't like it but made the call with a speculative 
only to find himself crushed by the Italian's 
before and after the 
board.
Pitchford drops to 85,000 while Maurceri has around 55,000 now.
Mehdi Senhaji opened to 7,000 from the button and JP Kelly called in the big blind.
The flop came 
and Kelly checked, Senhaji decided to overbet-jam for his whole 200,000 stack. Kelly decided to muck and save the better part of his own 110,000 stack.
From the button, Martin Hansen raised to 7,500. Keith "The Camel" Hawkins reraised all in from the small blind for 43,600. Hansen tanked for several minutes and then Hawkins ended up calling the clock. About half a minute later, Hansen folded and showed the . Hawkins let Hansen pick one and it was the .
Anton Wigg was under the gun, and he stuck his last 21,700 chips into the middle. A couple of his table mates gave him a look, but nobody could do any more than that, and Wigg added 6,900 chips to his stack with the blinds and antes.
Two hands later, the table folded around to Wigg's small blind, and he moved in again, this time for 24,800 total. Big blind Georges Tohme looked at one card and then at Wigg, and then he announced a call. Wigg flipped over 
, and Tohme was racing for the knockout with 
.
There was an ace on the flop, and Wigg stood to gather his possessions. In the end, the board of 
is the last one Wigg will see today, knocked off in 20th place.
"One for six in flips today," he said to nobody in particular on his way off to the cashier's desk.

Stephan Nitschke just survived a hail of gunfire in a manner befitting a member of the A-Team (the bad guys never hit anything in that do they?)
James Tomlin had opened preflop to 7,500 and Xiang Tan called. Nitschke then pushed all-in for just 12,400 more. Tomlin folded and Tan called with 
against Nitschke's 
.
The board came an exciting 
and somehow Tan contrived to miss all his outs.
First into the pot, James Tomlin opened it by shoving his last 46,600 chips into the center of the table. The two players to his left folded, but big blind Mehdi Senhaji cut out the calling chips and leaned back in his chair. Finally, he seemed to convince himself, and he announced the call.
Showdown
Tomlin: 
(double down!)
Senhaji:
Well, obv. There was an eight on the flop but he couldn't find the rest of the help he needed as the board ran down to send him packing.
After that pot, Senhaji is up to... ummm... well, he's up to a lot. He could use some chip-stacking lessons, though. Stacks of 33 and 47 are awfully hard to count. We'll try and get a little more specific, but he's up over 300,000 now and really widening his lead as this night progresses.
