Greg Raymer is OUT, his sixes losing a raise against Ace Queen. Gunnar Osterbrod and David Williams are also OUT.

Juan, I found Carlos Lopez but no sign of your other guy. Mad even asked Carlos in Spanish if he knew where 'Krusty' was but he didn't. Carlos has around 18k.

Bill Edler who won both a WPT and WSOP bracelet in 2007 bets 4,100 on a board getting Joe 'JoeHachem' Hachem (I'm sorry I really like referring to him by his Stars name) to fold, just as there table was broken.

I frantically accrued these chip counts as the countdown for the break sounded...

Vanessa Selbst -- 38,975
Trond Eidsvig -- 14,975
Reuben Peters -- 15,700
Ryan Daut -- 15,175
Nick Gibson -- 15,975
Florian Langmann -- 9,800
TJ Cloutier -- 52,600
Rob Hollink -- 24,150
Daniel Neagreanu -- 31,800
Cliff Josephy -- 13,875
Ryan Bambrick -- 34,800
Allen Kessler -- 10,125
Bill Edler -- 31,825
Isabelle Mercier -- 29,700
Tom McEvoy -- 15,850
Justin Bonomo -- 13,000
Adebayo Odetoyinbo -- 10,575
Stephen Pearce -- 40,800
Hevad Khan -- 17,550
William Thorsson -- 46,975
Mark Friedman -- 2,725
Barry Greenstein -- 19,075
Joe Hachem -- 30,550
Noah Boeken -- 15,425
Martin Wendt -- 14,850

Karl Mahrenholz's seat is empty, which either means he has shrunk so small that we can't see him, perhaps like that bit at the end of Beetlejuice when Michael Keaton's head has shrinking dust sprinkled over it, or, and quite possibly the more likely of the two explanations, he is out.


Mark Friedman, who you may remember from his third place finish in the GUKPT Grand Final at the Grosvenor Victoria in London, has been bashed down to the felt and is now on a paltry, frown creating 2,725. I didn't catch the betting action, but when I joined the action, they were counting out the chips on a board of with Friedman's paying off Yankieboy's Two Diamonds.

Samuel Oberlin -- 97,000
Brian Lindsay -- 96,000

Tronde Eidsvig is OUT, he pushed with Eights, a guy who hadn't seen his push raised, but was forced to re-raise Tronde's bet with A-4. The big blind also shoved with Tens, but Mr A-4 spiked his Ace on the turn.

It took longer than expected, but the Ade Bayo spiel has finally been prised out, and what a flurry of verbal diarrhea it was.

All-in from early position, the action halted at Yankieboy down the other end of the table who carefully contemplated his decision.

"Just in case," says Ade raising from his seat.

"I think you have Queen or King high," he adds.

"You've been thinking for a while now, that's a good sign."

"Your hand can't be that good."

"I have too short of a stack, I have to make a move."

"This is my lucky hand."

At this point, Yankieboy somehow managed to sneak in a word, a simple "go on then" as he made the call.

"Have you got an Ace?" asked Ade, holding his cards aloft without actually showing them.

As Yankieboy shrugs, Ade reveals , comfortably ahead of his opponent's . "That's good, nice hand," he confesses dejectedly. As the board comes out, Ade finally zips up and you can almost sense him chanting "No Ace, no Ace, no Ace" in his head. And Ade would have got his wish, the board coming a harmless two hearts . But if you thought that was the end of the 'talk', then think again my pretties.

"I'm back."

"One more of those and I'll be dangerous."

"Just when you thought it would be peace and quiet."

"I was worried that someone was going to say 'Noooo, don't call, he's a rock.'"

"I'm only crazy in the big blind, the rest of the time I've got the goods. I know people always say that, but it's the truth."

And on that note, I decided I had enough for my report and duly scampered off into the distance as Ade's mouth continued to motor away.

TJ Cloutier is OUT. He was goading his opponent to move in on the river of a three diamonds board saying, "Come on, just put your chips in the middle." which said opponent, Asa Smith, did. TJ instantly called and Asa showed for the flopped flush.

"Flush?" said the veteran, looking back at his cards, "Flush is good." He mucked and then left the table...

Added to the list of Brits playing today is, Andy Lowe aka 'Goldenboys' as directed to us by Stuart Taylor, he's got 40k.

Gavin Grifffin has managed to bleed almost all his chips away, first losing with A-K against 6-6 on a A-Q-6 board. That left him with around 50k, but he's now just down to 15k having folded on the river to a push on a .

Although he exploded out of the blocks and became the first player to break that 100k mark, Gavin Griffin has exploded again, but this time in the wrong sense as he has now self-exploded his way down to 49k after making a mistimed move against Neville Desai pictured below.

With 20-25k in the pot and a board of three clubs , Neville bet 5k from the small blind only for Gavin to riffle his chips, tilt his head slightly and shove in a re-raise of 17,000 more, virtually all of Neville's remaining chips.

Before Gavin had barely pushed his raise over the line, Neville jumped out of his chair like a leaping salmon being ejected from the passenger seat of an aeroplane and announced "call" in double quick time.

Gavin turned over , and Neville showed a straight, to take down a pot and a 80 plus k stack.

We haven't quite discovered how he accrued his Mount Everest, but Brian Lindsay is your current chip leader with a quite monstrous 205,000.

Chip leader Brian Lindsay may be a dot to everyone else in the chasing field, but leading that pack relatively comfortably is Julio Marines who has just elevated his stack to 170k after eliminating Yankieboy. On a Two Diamonds board, Yankieboy pushed all-in and Julio called, his in great shape against an inferior . A on the River was of no use and Julio was able to cement his second place spot.

Matthew Hilger has around 17k, he's sharing a table with his fellow author Tom McEvoy, who is doing a lot better with around 50k.

The Gavin Griffin implosion is complete, he shoved with Q-5o, was called, and predictably ended up on the rail.

Daniel Negreanu just knocked out a shorter stack with Eights against Fives.

Needing one of two remaining 5's, the flop came out: 9-7-6 and suddenly the short stack doesn't want a 5. Then the turn was a second 9 and now he needs a 5 again, (wish he'd make his mind up) but the river bricks out with the two spades.
