Paul Pitchford raised to 24,000 from the hijack seat, and he found a call from Mehdi Senhaji, who had position on the button.
The two men checked through a flop of 
, and the 
landed on fourth street. A delayed continuation bet of 32,000 was just what Pitchford needed to take it down, and onward we go.
Jeppe Bisgaard raisaed to 26,000 from the hijack seat, and Mehdi Senhaji called next door to go heads up to the flop.
It came down 
, and Bisgaard bet. The bet was, errrrr, all in for Senhaji's effective 219,000! No call came, and Bisgaard takes down that little bot. Big risk, small reward, but he's back to about 400,000 now.
From the button, Karim Jomeen raised to 25,000. Scott Shelley shoved all in from the small blind for 165,000 and after Paul Pitchford folded from the big blind, Jomeen snap-called and tabled the 
. Shelley revealed the 
and had an optimistic view on the situation saying, "Well, I'm live."
The flop came down 
and Shelley picked up a pair of fours. Although the flop wasn't the six-five-three combo that his rail was cheering so loudly for, Shelley shrugged his shoulders and didn't felt a little bit better about the situation.
The turn brought the 
to the felt, nailing Shelley with trips and causing a volcanic eruption of noise from his cheering section that surrounded the stage. The river then completed the board with the and improved Shelley to a full house.
Jomeen was left with just 6,000 chips after sending over the payment to Shelley, who can now breathe again with some much needed life.
While of of this was going on, Daniel Negreanu showed up to wish fellow teammate JP kelly good luck. Mehdi Senhaji took the opportunity to jump out of his seat and snatch a quick photo with Negreanu, ignoring all of the excitement that was going on behind him just a few feet away.
We've played two full levels (minus four minutes), and everyone needs a little break. We'll take twenty minutes to wander around Leicester Square, but there's plenty more action to come when we get back.
Ready? Break!
