Johnny Chan is OUT. A-5 vs 8-8 vs J-J. The Jacks scooping the lot.
Here's Greg Dyer, sitting next to Julian Thew. (You can also see Katja Thater and Michael Greco on the table behind)
Julian raised it up from early position, and found one caller, the flop came
, Julian bet 9k, his opponent made it 29k. After a long dwell which involved getting his opponent to agree to show, Thewy passed his
face up, he got shown
. "I'm so glad I didn't have Queens!" He told me.
Nikolaus Jedlicka, just behind chip leader Martin Wendt (150k). Nik has 135k

Javed Abrahams takes a bite out of Ian Woodley - calling Woodley's preflop raise in the blinds he saw a flop of
, checked to the aggressive Woodley who promptly bet 8,500 (about the pot). Javed thought for a minute, then his single chip tower went over the line - 16,500 more for Ian Woodley to call. Some head-shaking, cheek-puffing-out discomfort later, and Woodley passed giving the youngster a slightly healthier stack.
________________________________________
This is now what the tournament area looks like with 84 players remaining:
I was politely ushered out of the too-small area by a floorperson who looked genuinely regretful that he had to remove the press who were all doing a stirling job of getting in the way of each other and knocking the back of the players' chairs annoyingly. I must have looked more mutinous than I felt, though, as he added, "Thomas said," knowing that there are few authority figures in poker so respected. There are a few gaps between some thin potted plants through which we have a pretty good view of table Woodley/Nathan/Hansen/Abrahams, though, so expect update service to continue...

Yes, the problem is that by breaking the tables in order, they've gradually compressed the players into a smaller and smaller space. What should've been done was to break the tables alternatively. (e.g 25, 23, 21) Thus freeing up the space for everyone, including the film crews. At the moment, half the cardroom is empty and the other half, jamtastically packed.

Snapped just before ejection:
Mark 'The Thinker' Vos, who's had a lot of chips all the way through the tournament, the difference has been what they've been worth (towers of hundreds and 500s have replaced the earlier green 25s):
Michael Greco, lone remaining Dusk Till Dawn player - has been hanging on with a microstack for a long time:
This guy just doubled up nicely with
- I only had a second to see what was happening but there was definitely a Ten on the board and a pile of Thomas Wahlroos' chips heading into a little lake in front of him. He didn't look up for the whole time I was standing there, and this was the point I got sent behind the rail. Was planning on a companion picture of a now short-stacked losing Wahlroos, but he gave me a rude finger gesture instead so he doesn't get on this post.
Sole remaining female player Katja Thater, calmly playing what looks to be a slightly dwindling stack:

Javed Abrahams doubled up to just over 70k through neighbour (and chip monster - must be the best part of 200k in front of him) Fabrice Soulier... Caught him collecting the chips with a board of
in the middle and only his hand -
- showing.
The very next hand, now short stacked Rayan Nathan (about 16k) raised to 5,000 preflop. The blinds are currently 1k/2k... button Fabrice Soulier called as did small blind Javed Abrahams. The flop:
Check to Rayan who unsurprisingly shoved - the Frenchman on the button smoothly called and they were on their backs:
Rayan Nathan -
Fabrice Soulier -
So Rayan Nathan is OUT and yet another table has been broken.

Access now at a minimum.
Although I'm told we are just playing to the money tonight, there's still 15 people or so to go.
Here's some photos of what I've managed to just about get.
Michael Greco had short-stacked Katja Thater all-in with Q-Q vs 5-4 on a 9-5-x board, Katja spiked her two pair on the turn, Greco was not amused. Thewy came by quickly for a short pep talk.
Two photos showing how close I'm actually allowed to the action.
Do my eyes deceive me or is this Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr?

Julian Thew is OUT -
After a very promising nearly two days, he found himself with 45k facing a raise from Dags Mikkelsen to 5,500, holding
. "I heard that lots of aggressive Scandinavian players have been calling in position with pairs like Nines and Tens," mused Julian, "I decided to call..." The flop came 8-4-5. Mikkelsen bet out 10k, and Julian moved in. "As soon as he called I knew I was toast," admitted Thewy, and sure enough Dags had made a set of Fours. "I had a good run," though, he added, with the same equanimity with which he often faces elimination, even close to the bubble. There are currently 64 players remaining, and they will stop at 56 - the money.

Can you try and get updates on Ansky (Dani Stern) and
Adam
Junglen
? Thanks.
Adam
Junglen
looks have over 160k now. I was over on the other side of the room behind a press raile and saw a crowd gathering around that table, then with a fist pump, he raked in a big pot.
Sadly this below is the best view I can get of his stack. One of the spectators told me he had A-7 against K-Q and flopped two pair to bust the player who was sitting to his right. Probably not the most reliable information ever but all I could manage sorry.
Dani Stern is even more problematic to provide news on, he's right in the middle of the room, and the only nearby spectator rail is being used by Pokerstars to set-up their feature table for tomorrow. He has his back to us from the press rail, just to make matters worse.
TioMac - I'm afraid I don't know the names of any of the remaining Spanish players, but I'm sure there's still a fair few.
60 players remain and we are 4 from the bubble.
Paul
Wasicka
is the latest casualty, though he still had time to come to the pressroom to do an interview, seems like a nice enough guy.
DTD's
Michael
Greco
has doubled up with A-K against A-9. And then sighed very loudly.

Yes, we're down to the actual bubble, play has slowed to a crawl and players' railers are getting really, really excited. I can't see a thing, but I have found three young informants perched on chairs ringside who shared this information about Wasicka's exit with me:
Paul Wasicka moved in preflop with
, called by Sylvester Geoghegan with
. The flop was a resoundingly straighty 9-T-J and Sylvester was apparently jumping up and down in an agitation of joy as he knocked out the American pro. Apparently there had been quite a lot of chat with Pete the Beat on this table, lots of, "If you raise once more I am going all in," followed by, "Well, I'll call." Pete couldn't call this time (he had 5-7 off) but Mr. G. could and did.

A couple of earlier big stacks have been severely shortened in the last level - it looks like Dani Stern now has around 40k, while Fabrice Soulier is the most dramatic riches to rags tale of today - the Chair Informers tell me he has only 30k after a prolonged downswing that started when he paid off a player with Sevens full on the river and has ended with him in precarious position on the bubble.
Did I mention it's..............

And the bubble has bust. A short stack moving in with
and getting called by Martin Wendt's A-K. A King on the turn putting everyone else in the money.
Managed to get a shot of Dani Stern during the bubble for Yuv. Looks to have a stack of blue, a stack of red and two stacks of grey, so around 34k.
So 56 players remain, and just like that, we've stopped for the night. Play restarts at 5pm (4pm UK). Tomorrow, the feature table will be set-up as well as the redraw for the remaining players. For the Brits, Michael Greco, Ian Woodley, Phil Starrs and Javed Abrahams are all still there we think.
See you tomorrow.
