o here we are on the penultimate day of the PCA EPT Bahamas. Incidentally, I don't think this has been mentioned yet, but this tournament has been, in my opinion, superbly run. When Snoops and I first arrived, we noticed the similarities between the Atlantis and the Rio, and we're having flashbacks of the incredibly difficult WSOP. But all these fears have been allayed, I don't think I've heard a single complaint from the players about anything, a remarkable feat considering the 1000+  players.

It makes you wonder what the WSOP would be like if Pokerstars were in charge...

The first player to experience the bitter taste of dust today is American Jared Mahoney. All-in with against Evan Tindell's , his life in the tournament was looking rather peachy until the dealer threw out a shoulder-dropping Flop. A on the Turn meant that Mahoney was eagerly searching for one of three Queens for a bigger full house. However, it didn't arrive and the harmless River meant that Mohoney was gone, only to be comforted, if that was possible, by the seemingly genuine apologies of his humble opponent.

Bryan Colin has been eliminated from the feature table with Q-2 versus Q-8.

Most of his chips the way of Hafiz Khan after the latter's A-K hit a King on the River against Colin's Pocket Jacks.

Early double up for Victor Ramdin, he was in the big blind, calling Craig Hopkins small blind raise. The board came out and all the chips quickly ended up in the middle.

Victor:

Craig:

A turn and a river was met with a clap from the Pokerstars player as  he increased his stack to around 400k. Hopkins still has about 500k left though.

Chip leader David Pham has started off very quickly, he raised it up to 37k, Kristoffer Edberg re-raised to 105k and Pham moved in, the Scandinavian releasing his .

Magnus Karlsson raises to 32k from the hijack over on table 5, Joseph Elpayaa asks for a count before shoving in a big stack of red chips re-raising to 115k. A deep sigh and another Scandie is on the backfoot.

Craig Hopkins just got a little lucky to knock out Jesse Chinni, the latter holding against the Brit's . But a two hearts board later and the American was the one leaving the table.

'The Apple' also gave us the details of Robert Lederer exit, he re-raised all-in on a 9-8-x board with T-7, but was called by pocket 4's. A 4 on the turn left him with just 8 outs for the river which failed to materialise. (Or for him, materialize).

Michael Cooper is all a-whooping and a-hollaring after his held against Christopher Klodnicki's on a board, all the money in on the flop. A one million chip pot sent his way.

Elton Tsang is no longer still standing. Although stumbling on a pair of Threes pre-flop, Elton ran into the Pocket Jacks of Michael Cooper, and like a candle in the wind, he was gone. Tsang has now joined the circle of players on the rail.

----------

Garrett Adelstein has eliminated Gregory Byard.

Christopher Klodnicki is OUT. Tens into Michael Cooper's A-Q which triumphed on a J-A-2-4-K.

And now it's time for... The Richard Fohrenbach and Magnus Karlsson Show!!!

First Fohrenbach raises it up with , Karlsson pushes behind him with and Fohrenbach calls.

Board: two hearts three diamonds two spades

Double up for the Scandie.

Next!

In a small blind/big blind battle, they see a , Fohrenbach bets 40k and Karlsson moved all-in. Fohrenbach called with , Karlsson showed . Karlsson missed his flush and now the American doubles through.

Next!

Fohrenbach raises from the cutoff. Karlsson moves in again and Fohrenbach calls.

Fohrenbach:

Karlsson:

Board:

Fohrenbach and Karlsson. Both still in. Just!

On a two hearts flop. Michael Cooper bets 60k, Emil Timberg adds another 100k on top and Michael makes the call.

Both check the turn before Michael checks to the Norwegian once more on the river. Emil struggles to pull out three big stacks of blue chips, worth 100k per stack. Cooper folds and Emil quickly flips his with a bit of glee.

Cooper starts talking in his Southern drawl, "Only time...only time I've been bluffed..."

Emil, "How would you know?"

"Aahhh, only reason I didn' call you there was because I had pocket fours, but I ain't here to play, I'm here to win."

Crikey O'Reilly, on the very last hand before the break it all went bananas, three all-ins (and a call!) occurred on three tables, meaning that myself and the camera crew endured five minutes of sheer bedlam that would make a Take That concert look tame.

The first showdown witnessed was between Paul Holub and Benjamin Reed, Holub having the best of it with versus Reed's in-deep-deep-doggy-do .

A two hearts Two Clubs later and it was high five time, Holub celebrating boisterously with his friends on the rail. Meanwhile, the slightly more reserved Reed gathered his belonging and slipped off unnoticed.

---------

Also out is John Zioulas. All-in with on a three clubs Flop, John will have been mighty relieved to have been shown an from Michael Cooper, but at the same time a little on edge about the draw possibilities. As the dealer placed a non-draw-completing onto the green baize, Cooper shouted out "Black" authoritatively whilst John responded with "Keep it red, keep it red!" Unfortunately for John, it was Cooper's prayers that were answered as out popped a flush-filling on the River. Cue the usual "Yes!" pumped up celebration and the subsequent look of devastation from the victim, and we're down to 33.

---------

It hasn't all be busto galore though, as on David Pham's former table, we actually stumbled across a double up. It wouldn't have been hard to lose someone here though, Eric Ven Den Burg in quite splendid shape against Kristoffer Edberg with versus an in-need-of-divine-assistance .

Although the Flop threatened a miracle getaway, it didn't arrive as the raggy Turn was followed by an eye-brow raising case .

Rumour has it that Kristoffer Edberg has been eliminated, but we'll need to confirm that exit.

Yep, he's out. The K-9 vs Eric Van Den Burg's K-K the clincher.

The funny thing with the Dutch guys Thierry and Eric, is that every time they win a decent pot or double through, they end up doing an interview with a blonde dutch lady. It's quite surreal to see Thierry Van Den Berg, who just doubled up with on a board against the mouthy James D'Ambrosio, rake up the chips, do the interview and play a hand all at the same time.

Magnus Karlsson is OUT, his pair of fours getting beat on the turn by William Thorson's A-Q. Ace on the turn.

Thorson over a million in chips now.

-----------

High fiving Paul Holub has just taken down a big pot off David Pham. The Flop was Two Diamonds and Hobul was all-in for 260k more after Pham had bet out 250k. But even though it was so little to cool considering the massive amount already in the pot, Pham opted for the fold. Perhaps this was is the difference between the pro's and the amateurs?

David Pham's count is now close to 2.5 million. A value bet of 165k on a was paid off by Victor Ramdin who mucked when he saw .

Evan Tindell has doubled through James D'Ambrosio with vs .

"Doesn't matter, a queen is coming on the river!" said the increasingly loud D'Ambrosio.

Board: Two Clubs two spades

Eric Van Den Burg bets 100k on a flop, Jacques Zaicik moves in for 440k more and Eric passed, only to be shown .
