Marvin Rettenmaier flew in direct from San Francisco for the GPM and is facing a long day battling jet-lag. He was contemplating a nap just now after he busted to Andrew Chen.

George Danzer was hinting he wasn't pulling his weight towards Team Germany's total so far, but he's in with a good chance of going deep in Heat 3 after he coolered Ivan Soshnikov.
Danzer was in the cutoff with 
and Soshnikov was in the blinds with 
. It doesn't take Sherlock to figure out what happened.
The board ran 
to send the Russian to the rail.
Rocco Palumbo has been eliminated from Heat 3. He got it in with queen ten against the eight nine of Alex Bilokur. We're unsure when the chips went in, but Bilokur supposedly hit a gutshot to eliminate Palumbo, if we understood the Italian telling his country mate good enough.
Marc-Andre Ladouceur first knocked out Bryn Kenney over on Table 1. The two got their chips in with ace king (Ladouceur) against queens (Kenney. The board ran out 
and Ladouceur busted the Team America player.
"I'll miss the stories" Ladouceur said with a smile. The table agreed.
Not much later Ladouceur eliminated Igor Yaroshevsky. Ladouceur again had and was up against 
before the flop. The board ran out

Can anyone save Team America in the other tables? Of course!
Team America... Coming again to save the mother freaking day... #GlobalPokerMastersFollow @Willie_Hmmm
Ami Barer opened for 1,200 from early position and got a call from the button. Vanessa Selbst in the big blind squeezed all in and Barer instantly called. The button folded and the cards went on their backs.
Ami Barer:
Vanessa Selbst:
The board ran out 
and Selbst hit the rail. Time for some dinner for the Team PokerStars Pro, as there wont be a scheduled dinner break. Something at least Patrick Bruel isn't too happy with.
Oleksandr Gnatenko was heard using hid third one time chip after getting his stack in versus Rocco Palumbo. The first two (in previous heats) must've been duds but the latest one worked.
Palumbo opened from the button and called when Gnatenko three-bet all in from the small blind for 7,675.
Gnatenko:
Palumbo:
The board ran 
to make the Ukrainian a better two pair.
Not good news for Team UK as Simon Deadman has busted first from Table 2. Only Ukraine are between them and the bottom relegation place on the league table, so points are really needed in this heat.
Team Canada's Sorel Mizzi opened from the button and called after Deadman shoved for 7,000 from the big blind.
Deadman:

As we're kind of used to by now, the first few levels are rather quiet. Of course, some players bust, a set over set situation is a guaranteed bust out in this tournament, but mostly it's small pots.
In a bit, the structure of the tournament dictates more pushing and calling, and the bust outs will follow each other up rather quickly. We're ready for them, are you?
Over on table 1, all eight players are still seated. We haven't seen any interesting hands just yet, but the table talk has been pretty entertaining.
First the conversation centered around Bryn Kenney's diamond necklace, and what it was worth.
Later the entire table, minus Patrick Bruel who was minding his own business, focused on smoking weed and getting busted doing it by the cops. Some players, which will remain unnamed for now, shared personal stories of getting busted. One even impersonated the cop busting him; "You're smoking weed on my street?!" The accent and furious voice the impersonating was done in had everyone laugh, including Bruel this time.
In the mean time, Oliver Price got his chips in before the flop against Soshnikov but both players had ace king and chopped it up.
