Seeing as he's not on the list, and also cleverly deduced from the fact that he was in the press room shortly before the dinner break, we're guessing that Peter Hedlund is OUT, making the remaining runners, as a group, approximately 54% less talkative than before.

Timothy Vance News Now (I think it might be the first so far...)
The gruff-voiced American plays in a short-sharp manner which is quite refreshing after the amount of times I've heard 'Time' called today... He got involved in one of those blind on blind scenarios (as the bb) with sb limper Jonas Danielsson.
Flop:
Danielsson bet out 3,500. Instacall.
Turn: The least blank of all possible cards, I reckon:
Danielsson tries a 3k bet, and Vance insta thumps down a stack of blue 1k chips. It's 15k total - he gets a call.
River:
Check from Danielssen and Vance's cards - the
- are over before you see his hand move. The microflush wins a decent pot.

Jan Sorensen has a lot of chips:
So does Young American Joseph Serock. He took a few off of Trond just now holding Q-7 on a Queen-high board. I believe Trond had raised with A-J and was a bit unhappy about it. Poor old Trond.
Also this gentleman is not doing badly, chip-wise - Patrik Andersson.

I believe I reported a hand earlier where the be-Western-shirted gentleman below, Mr Soren Jensen, went a bit nuts over a split pot. Well, he's been going even nuts-er since then.
A little before the dinner break, the gentle buzz-y hum of the press room is disturbed by a howl from outside. Everybody stops typing/drinking stolen tea/watching youtube videos and looks up. Mr Jensen is stomping around outside in the hallway, making weird squeaky yelping noises every few seconds. Busted, think we, exchange glances that say "yikes," and wait for the howls to stop before going back to whatever we were collectively doing before.
During the dinner break, he is in the lobby. He is on his phone. He is gesticulating like a crazy man. He does this for most of the dinner break. We begin to pity him. Let it go, think we, have you not got over your bad beat yet, crazy man? Leave your poor wife alone, she can't make it go away. We also begin to pity whoever he's on the phone to.
But when we come back from the break, he's still in! With lots of chips! It turns out that all the howling was not because he'd busted out, but amazingly because he'd won a hand and got so excited about it that he had to leave the room and make squeaking noises in the hallway! We do not understand.
So anyway. Now he makes it 7k utg. Vegard Mandel, two to his left, makes it 15k - maybe half his stack. Soren flat calls.
Flop -
Vegard moves in, and Soren instacalls.
Vegard Mandel -
Soren "Crazy Boy" Jensen -
Turn -
River -
Soren rises from his seat, fists in the air. He shouts at length in Danish. It sounds like, "C*** sorry me! Harm sir the veal lids me!" And so on. And then, recognisably in a kind of Scandie-English: "Sheep eat baby! Sheep eat baby!!!" Sorry, Vegard fans, he is totally gone. I do quite hope Soren makes final table now. God help us all when he does bust out...

Meanwhile Henrik Rune gets re-raised all in by Christoffer Thorsen after raising to 6k preflop, but gets the same 6k (well, obviously not exactly the same) back the very next hand when he takes his turn moving in pre over a raiser. No calling on table Cagey right now, but it looks like a stack around 25k is almost seen as an insult around here and it's over the line at the first hint of resteal opportunity.
____________________________________________________________________
I really can't top that Soren story. I feel like I might as well go home now. But seeing as that isn't an option: DOUBLE TAKEDOWN NEWS!
Tim Vance (all the way from St. Louis, Missouri, I overheard), below pictured (and really remarkable Jack Nicholson-voice-alike) just took out two players, one holding
and one what looked like
with his
which held all the way from preflop to the river, which is what you need to knock people out. A bit more excitable now, Mr. Vance did some standing up, shaking hands with his busted opponents, talking to the dealer, talking to the new player on the table (you get the picture). I wonder whether he's ever studied with a vocal coach.
He now has a very respectable 170,000.

Prize for Magicking Chips out of Seemingly Thin Air goes to Danny 'The_D_RY' Ryan who last time I checked had just one slightly sad stack of blue chips but now seems to have around 120k.

Indeed, I have just witnessed a second astounding hand involving Mr Vance. Luca Pagano raises to 7k utg. Mr Vance makes it 21k. Mr Pagano makes it all in, or an additional 44.9k to Mr Vance. Says Vance, "Yowzers," or something similarly stereotypically American. He dwells for a few minutes. "Well, I
do
have a hand." He dwells some more. "You see, when your stack gets this big, I'm gonna like it even when it's 45k less." Mr Pagano shrugs.
Some minutes later (the intervening time whiled away by me listening to BA Kildalen whispering offensive things about Americans in my ear), Mr Vance says, "What you got? Kings? Aces?" He asks if he can turn over his hand before he decides whether to call or fold. He's not allowed to do that, it's a ten-minute penalty apparently. "Which would make it 15 minutes so far," says Pagano.
Some minutes pass before he passes a not-very-premium
face up, and follows it with some more minutes' worth of bravado along the lines of, "Nice hand, sir, oh, I won't lay it down again" type stuff. The crowd that had formed is disappointed, and leaves.

Severin Hovde has doubled up courtesy of a now-a-bit-sad Nicolas Dervaux. Dervaux made it 7k and Hovde moved in for 13.4k total; call.

Trond checks a
board, and then cagily calls Jan Sorensen's 8k bet. He mucks when Sorensen shows
. He shakes his head and smiles, sadly, like he's cradling a baby in an Athena poster.
I need a nap.

Gino Alacqua - 42,000

Rasmus Nielsen (pictured) just picked up about 20k like so...
Peter Eastgate raised preflop to 8k, called by Andreas Glannbro. Over to Rasmus in the blind who slowly upped it to 35k - enough to commit the initial raiser's whole stack. He was no longer interested, but it took Glannbro a little longer to let it go. Which he did, tapping the table.

Joseph Serock has taken down a pretty chunky 40k pot. He called a bet from Jan Sorensen on a
flop, and then they both checked the
turn and, a bit inexplicably (I guess he thought Sorensen would bet), the
river. Sorensen just mucked when he saw Serock's
.
He's since been ABUSING his giganto-stack and bullying poor old Trond Eidsvig (in a very unbiased reporting sort of way). He raises from the button and Trond calls. Poor, honest, hard-working, attractive Trond checks the
flop and Serock bets 14k. Trond folds.

Tung Huynh is eliminated by continual talker Leroy Soesman (pictured next to Rolf in his spacevisor) who drew attention to the situation by saying, "I'm losing my audience! 'Oh he's all in again, what a surprise!'" which of course drew back his audience and camera crew... He showed
to Huynh's
.
The board emerged...
...
to bring the total number of players down to a bubble-approaching 48.
Also pictured - dealer (attention 5%) and the lovely Kristen (attention 100%)
