Due to a lack of space in the bar area, the PokerStars pub quiz has moved to the media room. Benjamin Spragg is the quiz master. The winning team will join the winners of the go-karting and bowling in a special SNG, with first place taking a £1,100 tournament ticket.
There will be a short hiatus in reporting, as reporters cannot readily enter and exit the media room without disrupting the eager quiz players.

Shortly after losing a big pot, Rungarun Thongnonsung was all in from late position with a short stack and was called by Guillermo Sanchez on the button, who had Thongnonsung well covered as players flipped their cards.
Rungarun Thongnonsung: Q♠9♦
Guillermo Sanchez: 3♥3♠
The board ran out A♦A♠K♠4♣6♥. Thongnonsung didn't manage to improve and so Sanchez held with his pocket threes to win the pot. Thongnonsung was eliminated from the tournament.
