Scott Clements got his remaining ~45,000 chips into the middle preflop with 
, and he was racing for a double up against Bertrand Grospellier's 
.
Clements managed to fade the overcards on a board of 
, and that's good enough to double him back up to about 90,000. He's still at a big deficit to Grospellier's 390,000-chip stack.
We just caught the tail end of a big pot over on Table ElkY/Risky.
The board showed 
when we walked up to the table, and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier checked. Scott Clements fired out a big bet of 100,000 straight, only to see ElkY check-raise all in for about 140,000 total. Clements could not call; he folded, leaving himself just 35,000 chips to Grospellier's 445,000.
Jason Somerville opened to 6,000 from the button, and Julian Herold three-bet it to 16,000 straight. Somerville made it 46,000, Herold popped it back to 105,000, and Somerville shoved. Just like that, all of the chips were in the middle, and the cards were on their backs:
Somerville: 
Herold: 
Herold was in trouble, and the dealer wouldn't save him. The board ran 
, and Somerville has knocked off Herold to advance to tonight's Round of 16.
Everyone's had their dinner and made it back here to shake hands with their next opponent. There are 32 players left across 8 tables, and the cards are in the air in Round 4.
