This is thirty minutes before the third tournament in this series, the £5,000 PLO, starts. A few of our short stacks might use this time to try and spin up a big stack in an attempt to try and put themselves in a position to win this or try their luck at the PLO instead.
Join us tomorrow to find out how it pans out. Good night or should I say good morning from The Empire.
With 30 seconds left on the clock, Sherkhan Farnood raised, and a now thoroughly angry Hellmuth, forgetting that they were playing limit, announced that he was all in and threw all his chips in the middle. Farnood agreed to raise to cover Hellmuth, and it was a coinflip.

Hellmuth:

Thus our day three will most likely be quieter than it might otherwise have been, as a livid Hellmuth leaves the table to complain about Farnood and the dealer to a gentleman holding a video camera.
Isaac managed a short-lived comeback when he doubled up though Raul Paez in a blind battle, but Phil Ivey soon took care of him in a button versus big blind battle.
We'll see you in the PLO tomorrow Isaac.
The dealer is now receiving a soothing massage from the TD, and with just three minutes left on the clock, it looks like things are going to be ok.
Isaac Haxton down to less than 10,000 after paying off Lededer who held two-pair on the end. He then said "Looks like I'll be playing PLO tomorrow!"
One player who'll be happy we're finishing early is Isaac Haxton. He's already stated to table mates he's feeling tired and this maybe affecting his decisions as he's just lost another pot to Yuval Bronshtein.
Haxton's final board read
and Bronshtein's read 
.Bronshtein bet out once more at the end and Haxton shook his head several times and made a call but mucked upon seeing his opponent's hidden
for three queens.Haxton short on 32,000. Bronshtein's hovering around 120,000.
Disaster for Erik Albinsson as he is virtually felted by Sherkhan Farnood. Farnood bet all the way down to fifth street and called Albinsson's bet on sixth. Come seventh, which they both checked, Albinsson had just 3,800 behind when Farnood showed his hand, and Albinsson just mucked.
Farnood:
Albinsson:
upHowever, Albinsson had a lucky double up courtesy of Farnood the very next hand, and the hand after that he was was doubled up again by Phil Hellmuth. He's currently hanging in with around 24,000.
There were a few mixed feeling amongst the players but the end of this level seemed a good a time as any as that's the time agreed.
25 more minutes of play then.
