Any chance of an 'Apple' stack photo for his family and friends?

COME ON HOPPO

He's definitely one of the shorter stacks with about 27k. Fingers crossed.

Oh the bubble was a tense one.  This guy - Raul Paez Corral -was one of the short stacks (of which there were about 7) unafraid to ship it in and hope for the best... he got away with it twice, in fact, during Hand For Hand - and the first time while someone was considering a call, he released all the tension in the moment by shouting, "El bubbel boy!  More famoso!  I am the star right now!  I am like Ben Affleck!  I am Ben Affleck!"  as the media literally swarmed around the table.  No call though.

Michael Hogbom didn't quite make it either... here he is in the background talking to the sad railer lady in the gray hoody.  His eliminator underneath, making the universal hand sign of, "Eeh, what're you gonna do about it?"





But the actual bubble boy was Cristiaaaanooooo Blanco who did the traditional vs. the of Kenneth Hicks, Jr. Ace on the turn, and we're down to four tables.

That does mean that Craig 'the Apple' Hopkins has snuck into the money with his stack, which is what you actually wanted a picture of, for some reason...

Elaboration, courtesy of the Pokernews guys who had the full story rather than catching the bits drifting from in front of a four-deep row of tall Scandinavian men:

His exit wasn't just your run-of-the-mill preflop AK vs QQ race.  Oh no.  He actually had a reasonable stack and got to a flop with Kenneth Hicks Jr.  The flop had no Ace or King on it- Hicks then openshoved and Cristiano Blanco made the not-small call for his tournament life.  Joy!  He was ahead!  Misery!  Ace on the turn.  Ouch.

Any news about Mr Perrot ?

Claus Nielsen, who has actually been a blogger for a Danish site earlier in the tour, has emerged as huge chip leader after knocking out two players in successive hands.

First he calls Thierry Van Der Berg's raise and they see a flop, Thierry bets 24k, Claus raises to 58k and Thierry moved all-in with Queens, only for Claus to call with Jacks. One down!

Next hand Claus is still stacking his chips up and raises to 9.2k. Frederik Haugen moves in for about 33k, and Claus calls again with . Frederik shows but is sent to the rail after a .

Claus must have nearly 350k. Go bloggers!!!

Daniel Woolson has knocked out Brian Jensen with Kings vs Ace Queen.

Andy Black doubled up on a T-9-x board with A-T vs Christoffer Sonnesson's 9-7.

Henrik Gwinner has knocked out Giuseppe Caciolo with Nines vs Ace Queen.

Phew!!! It's going to be close as whether we finish 8 levels or get to 24 players...

Any news about Mr Perrot ?

He's still in at the moment, but he lost around 75k in that Kings vs Aces coup to Ricardo Sousa, before losing another 30k to Brian Jensen during the bubble with 99 vs KK.

Oh, the sickness.  The last full hand I am going to report tonight is this one:  the exit of Dennis Petronack. 

He was outchipped by Juan Lapido Maceiras (pictured) and his hand also outranked his - the Deathly Flop was:  .  Upon this flop, Maceiras made a move and Petronack went for it - as you might well with .
Maceiras showed:  .

Oh, what would be the ideal card for him now?  Yes - the wondrous appeared on the turn, and the on the river.  Wow.  Petronack wanders off looking slightly stunned, just in the money, or that would have been even harsher.   Maceiras' supporters go wild (in moderation, out of consideration for the bad beat) and then he says to the dealer, "I'm gonna give you a big tip."
