Another player going very well is Ashrique Miah. He played the bubble very aggressively and actively and is sitting on 500,000 plus. Mad Turk has been moved to his left, with Toby Lewis a couple of seats further on. Passive it is not.

[TightEnd]

The break to three tables threw up Paul Ratchford on the right of Wadey Ashraf. It did not take them long to clash and Wadey has just scooped a big big pot, 600k plus off Ratchford showing 99 on a 6-7-A-K-Q board. Judging from the guttural roar that Wadey emitted when he found out his hand was good, this was quite a surprise to him

more on this, its a blind on blind coup and Wadey has called all three streets, having played it soft pre-flop.

PLAY HAS NEARLY CONCLUDED FOR THE DAY

Unsurprisingly progress has been slow the last 20 minutes, lots of raise-fold. Stacks still big enough to avoid widespread pushing, a testament to the great structure at play here

Barring last minute surprises, I'll be back shortly to put the overnight chip counts up

[TightEnd]

Having said that, Steve Jelinek who has nursed a shortish stack for hours and hours has just been knocked out 21st

[TightEnd]

So, Play is over

10-15 minutes for the chip counts
