He's the man that showed George the  .

He's Azad Pivooti and has a giant Buddha as his card protector. Had around 30k last time I looked.

I kid you not, there is a second player here with the same large buddha statue as some kind of protector (not a card one as it would totally obscure them):

And George Danzer is OUT - something had happened to whittle his chips down to a short stack, which he pushed in when another guy raised in front of him.  The guy happened to be holding , so when he flipped his , George said, "You can call it a gamble..."
Board:    and the cameras followed him as he did the Slow Walk...

[NoflopsHomer]

Thewy news now, he has over 20k. He just made a 2k bet on the river from the BB after the flop and turn of a  board were checked in a 4-way pot between himself, utg, button and SB. Everyone passed including Andreas Hagen in the SB who showed  for the slowplayed flopped flush.

Thewy showed  .

Pictured counting his chips, this gent found which looked okay on the board, and the double up came from which decided to give him a spin.
Turn and river were red, and all the potential of the nut draw up in smoke...

Well, as it nears the dinner break, some shorter stacks appear to have made healthy recoveries, like that of Vicky Coren - back to 20k after reportedly bluffing neighbour Henrik Olander off a pot... and Frode Fagerli definitely in contention for high chips - 50k and growing...

[Djinn]

While heading downwards are Marcel Luske's tower of small denom chips, now less than 10k, and it looked very like Richard Gryko might be OUT, from the walk towards the exit a minute ago.  Could just be jumping the dinner queue.  But probably out.

[NoflopsHomer]

Thewy is down to 8k.
There was an UTG limper and another limper and Thewy raised to 2,400 (blinds 200/400) and only the UTG called. The flop came and both checked:

Turn:

 

UTG bets 3k, Julian calls.

River:

 

UTG bets 5k, Julian calls.

Julian: 

UTG: 

Ouch. I spoken to Julian and he said he wasn't sure where he was at, and was worried UTG has AA or KK. The check on the flop probably saves him from letting the pot get too big and losing all his chips. On the other hand, UTG might have had JJ and paid him off. It's certainly a difficult hand to play after utg has limp/called 2,400 preflop with blinds 200/400. Thoughts anyone?

[Djinn]

So, we are now heading into a 45 minute DINNER BREAK

Talk amongst yourselves!  Or listen to some music; pity me for not making the buffet before everyone and their two best friends crowded round it.

I play it the same, keep the pot controlled and let him think his smaller PP is good.
