Play resumes at 10pm UK time, one more elimination and they redraw for the official FT and go on the live stream

2-7 NL is a pretty good game for the rail, Stevie especially would be a very popular winner

gl to both

[Tonji]

If any player is due it must be Mr Chidwick, gl to both

[cambridgealex]

Mercier has huge bracelet bets on, and in particular vs Stevie. Think Fedor backed Stevie vs Mercier with Mercier at $110k for $100k per bracelet, so this is a huge swing for Jason and Fedor.

Which reports are these?

Seems like high six figures is what most ppl have said and that checks out with what he said in his interview straight after the win where he said it was his biggest win since 2008 (San Remo usd1.3m)
