Kaveh Payman raised to 14,500 before Stephen Broomfield moved all in from the next seat. Defending champion JP Kelly moved all in from the small blind and everyone folded, including Payman. Kelly tabled the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Broomfield the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Kelly sent Brookfield to the rail in 12th place. Kelly now has 269,000.

Dennis Hassabis Eliminated in 11th Place (£8,317)

Dennis Hassabis - 11th Place
Dennis Hassabis - 11th Place

From under the gun, Dennis Hassabis raised all in and Mehdi Senhaji called from the small blind. Senhaji waited to see Hassabis' {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} before he stood up, leaned over the table to get a better look at what Hassabis had and then tabled the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}. It was somewhat of the slowroll agianst the shorter-stacked Hassabis, but he didn't seem to mind.

The board ran out {J-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Senhaji clapped his hands together and yelled out a muffled, "Come on!" Hassabis went out in 11th place and the remaining 10 players are now redrawing to one table.

Can JP Kelly Break Another Record?

Back-to-back years winning the same gold bracelet event, first defending champion in a WSOP Europe event, first player to win Hold'em bracelets in the same event in back-to-back years since Phil Hellmuth in 1992-1993; and specifically No-Limit Hold'em since Johnny Chan in 1987-1988, and now what? Well, if JP Kelly wins, he'll be the youngest player ever to reach three gold bracelets.

Kelly was born on February 10, 1986. The player holding the record as youngest to three bracelets is none other than superstar Phil Ivey, who was born on February 1, 1976. He won his third bracelet on May 3, 2002, 26 years, three months and two days old. If Kelly wins, he'll be 24 years, seven months and 11 days old. That's beats Ivey's record by a good amount.

That Darned Katz!

Nicky Katz moved all-in for his veritable short stack of around 50,000. Paul Pitchford tanked and folded but Jeppe Bisgaard made the call in the small blind.

Katz: {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}
Bisgaard: {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}

Board: {6-Hearts} {3-Spades} {K-Spades} {4-Clubs} {K-Clubs}

Katz doubles up to around the 100,000 mark. Bisgaard still has a big stack.
