[goatzilla]

any chance we could get some Greg Dyer updates? THANKS!!

[NoflopsHomer]

We will do Mr Goatzilla, but it'll have to be in an hours time, as we are now on a 75 minute dinner break.

APAT Champ Phil Starrs has shot up to 70k, he was very glad to be off the Sverre Sundbo, David Williams, Ramzi Jelassi table.

Finally Stefan Mattsson knocks out Kristian Ulriksen with Aces against Queens AIPF.

Just spoken to Julian at the break, he has 50k after he raised with Jacks, bet out on an 8 high flop and found a tilting player push with Ace Queen which missed.

Play will restart in 10 minutes or so and we'll get more news on the others.

Also snapped before the break (during which we left our treacle slow internet connection to 'sort itself out' while we ate delicious ice cream at the marina):

Sylvester Geoghegan - still in the seat he started in, with around average chips.

New tablemates Rayan Nathan and Ian Woodley - lots of chips congregating in the back right corner of the room.

[Djinn]

Down to 15 tables of eight...

Chips are looking like this:

Martin Wendt  115k
Adam Junglen  50k
Paul Wasicka  100
Greg Dyer  93k
Sverre Sundbo  60k
Mark Vos  40k
Fabrice Soulier  98k
Mark Teltscher  78k
Dag Martin Mikkelsen  120k
Dani Stern  31k
Nikolaus Jedlicka  135k
Jan Sjavik  50k
Phil Starrs  64k
Thor Hansen  55k
Ian Woodley  48k
Rayan Nathan  44k
Sylvester Geoghegan  40k
Michael Greco  16k
Thomas Wahlroos  45k
Javed Abrahams  34k

[NoflopsHomer]

The chip lead is bouncing all over the place now.

Paul Wasicka was over 100k, but was forced to fold on the river of a board after his opponent moved all-in on the river.



DTD's Michael Greco is up to 30k having been down to just 4k. No sign of Richard Ashby though, I think he's out.

Pete Giordano and Samuel Laborde (who looks a lot like his countryman Arnaud Mattern). The former passing after his 8.5k bet on the turn of a board was suspiciously min-raised by his opponent who only had 12k back.



Martin Wendt, the Scandie Mitchell Brother.



Finally, I arrive at the table of Dag Martin Mikkelsen and Dani Stern who are in what looks to be a 30k+ pot. The board reads . Dag checks the river, Dani moves all-in, having the Norwegian well covered. After about 30 seconds Dag makes the call and shows , Dani mucks and 'DMMikkel' is up to what looks to be 90k. (You can also see Jen working hard in the background here!)

is Richard Ashby out

Yep - at least one level ago, sorry...

The blinds go from 500/1,000 to 600/1,200 and are about to rise to 800/1,600 - a level which will definitely see off a lot of the <20k stacks. 

[Djinn]

Thor Hansen doubles up off of the volatile Juan Lapido who spent the first couple of levels today winning every other pot (the others picked up by Nikolaus Jedlicka, it looks like). They saw a flop heads up of at which point it looked like Hansen's whole stack sailed across the line as his were found to be miles ahead of the young player's ... turn and river brought some Threes, and 26,000 more chips for the Scandinavian.
