[Djinn]

The blinds are currently 1,600/3,200, ante 300.

It has been announced that they will play from 26 players down to....18.  They will stop at the money.  I'm looking at a bit of a half day at the office...

[Djinn]

Kirill Rabstov gets it all in with vs. the of Samir Shakhtoor, spiking two Sixes to knock out one of Snoopy's picks straight away... 

Then neighbouring shortstack Yuri Kerzhapkin gets a call for his all-in Jacks from Vivian Anseline's .  Despite the flop, a second housed Yuri up and doubled him through.

[Djinn]

Interesting action on table Runarsson:  Runar gets extremely het up after he finds himself re-re-raised all-in preflop by Georges Teboul.  He talks at his opponent for a minute or so, until some of the more restless elements on the table kind of prod him to make a decision. 
"I can speak to the man, right?" yells Runar, "You can call the clock, you can do nothing else!  He's not involved in the hand...give him a yellow card..."
Someone calls the clock.

With 30 seconds left to act, on a decision for his tournament, Runar says, "I've never done this before," and passes face up.

Georges shows the . 

[Djinn]

Turgut Guner is OUT in 24th place...

He moved in for a total of 31,900 after a double preflop limp from Georges Teboul and Jeffrey Lisandro.  Teboul (and the blinds, who were yet to act) got out of the way, but Lisandro looked at the 15k pot and decided to call with his .
Georges Teboul showed .

Flop:     Turgut looked hopeful...
Turn: 
River:    Turgut looked a bit stunned as the chips were shipped gently the other way, leaving him to do the walk of shame.
_________________________

Clement Amagat finishes in 23rd place, at almost exactly the same time.  No details though, might have to ask Benjo...

[Djinn]

Christophe Cabras is OUT in 22nd place...

...getting it all in with on an 8-4-7 flop against Atanas Gueorgiueu's .  No improvement, no money finish - and painfully close, too...

It's going at incredible speed today - all this action within the first 40 minutes of play.  It was perhaps an odd decision to play a full five 90 minute levels yesterday (when the advertised structure announced that Day Two would play down to 72) but one way or another it IS going to be a six-day tournament and that's that.

[Djinn]

Johan Storakers (shortstacked) just went out in harsh style to Ram Vaswani... I just saw his vs. Ram's with a raggy board, crowned with what looked like a rivered Ten.  A shrug from the semi-contrite victor and it's all nearly over...20 players remaining...

[Djinn]

A mountain of chips gets pushed to Will Ma courtesy of neighbour David Redlin (pictured) a couple of minutes ago...
The board read (although I think the Ace might have been the river).  Will's were on their backs, and were the winning hand - I heard they'd been up against Jacks.  The amount Will was all in for on the river alone was 86,100, with around 120k in the pot already, that puts him up around the 300k mark, while David Redlin has just 40k currently.

[Djinn]

Vivian 'Aniki' Anseline is OUT in 20th place... all in preflop with vs. Jeff Wallace's .  The eliminating board:  and we are Hand For Hand...

[Djinn]

Now perilously short stacked, David Redlin shoved preflop over mid-position raiser Atanas Gueorgiueu, who called sharpish with his , finding young Redlin on .  "Bubble boy," he commented to himself, "That was stupid..."
Flop: 
Turn: 
River: 

And David's back in it, remarking on the age-old truism that luck is needed in poker.

[Djinn]

We have a Final 18...

Otto Richard raised preflop, and found Tor Gammelgard in the big blind raising 113k.  That was mainly all in neat white 5k chips, but Otto's stack was all towers of lower denom chips and when he announced 'Call' he ended up leaving himself a sad 20k behind.
On the flop, Tor put him all-in, he autocalled.
Tor: 
Otto: 
The turn and river:

SO Otto Richard is our bubble, 19th place finisher.

[Djinn]

So - they will play 18 down to 6 tomorrow (Thursday) from 4pm (3pm UK time).  Coverage will continue right here, as I don't feel I really got started today...

Bonjour les Anglais!

The final two tables, hopefully rested after their miniday yesterday, are just kicking off.  Same level they were playing yesterday, unbelievably... 1,600/3,200 ante 300 for a few minutes, then up to 2k/4k ante 400.

[Djinn]

Attack of the Eights:

Paul Gourlay all-in under the gun with the Eights, no call, but some blinds for the Rocketman...

David Redlin all-in with against ..a board of looked good for one but better for the other and the short-stacked American doubles up to around 150k.
