We're five and a half levels deep into this thing, which means registration has been closed for more than four hours. Yet, we still can't get an official number of runners from the CardRoom Magic staff that is handling the registration here.
We're told it's either 338 or 339 runners today, but then again, we were told 357 at one point. They keep tell us the number will be finalized soon, but there's apparently been little progress on that front for now. Until we hear more, your guess is as good as ours for the number of players who've turned up today.
Marcel Luske has been eliminated, Chance Kornuth had made a "live misclick" by accidentally betting 10,200 into a pot of around 2,400 on a against Luske and Neil Channing. Luske pushed all-in for about 19,000 and Channing got out the way, Kornuth called flipping for a set against Luske's . Kornuth made quads by the river and that was all she wrote for the flying Dutchman.
Konstantin Bucherl has doubled up to 40,000 or so, somehow managing to get it in with in a very good spot against . The ladies held on the board, and the WSOP $10,000 PLO finalist got the lot.
The flop of was checked to Martins Adeniya who fired 5,275. Stephane Albertini made the call before Arnaud Mattern check-raised to 16,650. Adeniya called and Albertini folded.
The came on the turn and Mattern shoved for around 40,000 and a pained Adeniya counted down his stack before making the call as the cameras surrounded him.
Mattern tapped the table, "Good call," flipping live at least against Adeniya's . The came on the river for the Frenchman though, and a visibly distraught Adeniya was disgusted and temporarily left the table for a few seconds. Mattern is up to 125,000 while Adeniya has just shrapnel left.
That Table Formerly Known As The Feature Table has now broken, and its denizens scattered about the room. But some people may be happier with their new seats than others.
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, for one. Of all the seats in all the Hilton, he is now occupying the one right next to his lady friend, Catherine Hong. ElkY has position, as it were, but Hong has the chip advantage - 40,000 to ElkY's 15,000 or so. We expect to see some action soon.
Jeff Madsen is down to just 9,000 after finding himself in a bad spot with against a short stack's pocket sevens. There were no surprises for anyone on the board and Madsen is in some trouble.
UTG+1 opened to 1,000 before Joe Serock reraised to 2,400 from middle position, Jake Cody, sitting next to him, reraised to 5,200 and it was passed all the way around to Serock who slid in his remaining 15,000. Cody quickly called flipping to Serock's and the board came to finish off the young American.
We're down to 220 players, meaning that we've lost about a third of the field, depending on exactly how many played - six levels in, we're still waiting on the official numbers.
