Matt Waxman opened to 2,400 under the gun while discussing the contents of the shake he had in front of him. Tim West seemed interested, but not so much in the contents of the shake anymore. West made it 6,200 from the button, and both blinds folded. Waxman made the call to see a flop.
Both players checked and the hit the turn. Waxman bet out 7,000 and West made the call. The fell on the river and Waxman slid three pink 5,000 chips forward. West instantly called the 15,000 bet, but had to muck his as Waxman tabled .
"That's what you get for three-betting that crap" Waxman laughed. "That's a calling hand" he continued, "Right George?". George Danzer nodded and the subject changed back to the contents of the shake again.
Simon Lam was the first player to act, and he moved all in for around 10 big blinds. The action folded to Martin Jacobson in the big, and he eyed the amount of the shove quickly before calling and revealing .
Lam showed , and the two were off to the races.
The dealer fanned , giving Lam a backdoor straight draw, but the on the turn eliminated those dreams altogether.
The on the river was a brick as well, and Lam was eliminated. Jacobson chipped up to 131,000.
Alec Torelli started out the day as one of the shortest stacks and didn't make a comeback. He had to fold in a pot just minutes ago where his neighbor check-raised him all in on , leaving himself with just 16,000 behind.
He shoved those 13 big blinds in with off suit and received a call from Scott Clements who held , according to Marc-Andre Ladouceur. The best hand pre flop was also the best hand post river, and Torelli made his exit.
With just three players remaining at the table, play stopped for about a minute. With a table quickly broken, Faraz Jaka and Jason Koon joined the table and play commenced again.
Layne Flack opened the button to 3,000 and the small blind quickly released. Mickey Petersen in the big blind shoved all in for 40,300 total and Flack made the call after some hefty thinking.

Petersen:
While Petersen was the player all in, this hand was crucial for Flack as well with just 11,000 behind if he would lose. The flop was terrific for Flack, but he wasn't safe just yet. The on the turn was a good card for Petersen, but the on the river was a blank and the EPT Copenhagen winner made his exit. Flack in the meantime if up to almost a 100,000.
On a board we saw 5,500 in front of EPT Sanremo winner Ludovic Lacay. The all in button and a total of 28,600 chips lay before Larry Wright and he said "I'm feeling pretty confident, you didn't snap". Lacay looked like he wanted to fold, but called in the end anyway.
Wright turned over for the nuts, Lacay angrily threw his forward. "Go for the gutshot, hit the $#@*! gutshot" said the Frenchman. The on the river was a blank and Wright doubled up.
