It's not easy catching a good hand, but sometimes you hear a slight ruffle, a few raised voices perhaps, or the pushing aside of chairs.

One of these occasions just happened on one of the very back tables.

After some preflop action, the three Mateyboys see a flop of

Seat 5 and 7 check, Seat 10 bets 500

Seat 5 calls, Seat 7 raises to 3,000

Seat 10 makes it 10,600 leaving Seat 5 to move all-in for a total of 9,600.

Are you still with me?

Seat 7 dwells for ages, giving it a lot of talk... predominatly due to the cameras being present.

Anyhow, he eventually folds, proudly slamming down .

Seat 5 shows

Seat 10 has

Turn =

River =

The all-in man survives.

"Best hand I've ever played!" comments Seat 7 adamantly

The Screens tell us that there are still a huge 1,280 players remaining (although I saw two go broke just while walking through the room just now).
Blinds 100/200 ante 25.

Dutchman Marc Naalden, who final tabled in Copenhagen at the start of the year, has just eliminated Mateyboy with T-T vs K-J on a 6-A-3-Q-2 flop.

He's still only on 7.5k though.

The rather aesthetically pleasing Jennifer Leigh has been eliminated from the comp after running pocket ladies into a set of ducks.

Narrowly missing out on Climber of the Day is Noah Boeken - whose 20k or so in mostly low-denomination chips have come back from just 2,000.  "Next time I see you I'll have 200,000...." prophesies Noah.  Nothing like PMA eh, Snoops?

With just 950 players remaining, they're guaranteed pretty much to hit their target of 900 or fewer by the end of this level, but with multiple start days they've got to play through til the bitter end.  12pm tomorrow and it all starts all over again.

Quick report on Rob Sherwood - he's currently running well on 43,700, not much change since the break, he's won a couple of blinds - "done enough to stay even"
