After losing Buffenbarger and Gold in quick succession, the back table, which has now been graced with the presence of Kenny Tran and Nicolas Levi, has slowed down somewhat.
Most of the action is raise, fold, fold, fold, etc, but there have been a couple of reraises, first Tabatabai on Tran, and then Kay on Levi, but apart from that, surprisingly slow progress considering we're now in the money.
Meanwhile, Jamie Gold is yet to return for the kebab he left behind, so it may be snapped up soon.

Marigliano: has a good memory
Marcello Marigliano just moved all in again, this time against Kenny Tran. It was on the turn with the board reading: . Nothing had happened on the flop, but now Tran had bet out 15k and found button Marigliano moving in, for around 70k on top.
Kenny Tran went into the tank, and asked Marigliano a question.
"My English not so good, could you please talk a bit slower?" requested Marigliano.
"What language do you speak?" asked Tran.
"Italian, French..."
"Perfect," said Tran, pointing at tablemate Marco Traniello. "I want to know why he didn't look at his hand to see if there was a club..."
Marco (presumably) answers the question in Italian.
"English only at the table," jokes Nicolas Levi. He's French, incidentally.
Marigliano thinks for a moment and replies, "I study a lot of maths. I have a good memory."
Whether this was what Tran was looking for or not, he eventually had the clock called on him and threw away his hand, saying, "Well played," to his enigmatic opponent.

It seems when we posted the prizepool amounts in our Prizepool & Payout section, there was a dyslexic error made. Third prize is actually £381,910, not £391,910 as previously posted.

Who ate my kebab?
Jamie Gold is dust (gold dust, I guess) after moving all in for just 11,500 and running into the of the silent assassin, Marco Traniello.
Left requesting a "king" with , his demands fell on deaf ears, the board coming .
Unlike the previous hand in which Jamie couldn't help but berate his opponent under his breath, the 2006 WSOP Champion was a genuine gentleman in defeat, shaking hands with all the players and wishing them good luck in the process.
More importantly though, Jamie left his kebab that he ordered. I'm tempted to eat it myself, but I'm afraid he will return and ask, "Where's my kebab?" only to be met by my ugly mug as I hold up an empty skewer, a dribble of kebab grease trickling from my mouth.

Over at the featured TV table, Gus Hansen has a small recording device. After he plays a hand, he gets up and walks around while speaking into the recorder... in his native tongue of Danish. Since I don't speak fluent Danish (or any Danish for that matter), I have to assume Hansen is talking about the hands he just played, or about the pretty girls on the rail.

...After doubling up Marcello Marigliano in a strange preflop all-in-fest. Gold moved in for around 55k on the button, and quick as a flash small blind Marigliano called all in (for 44k). Big blind Dominic Kay thought about it, with Jamie Gold saying, "Think how much money you could win. You're getting the right odds..." He passed though, and Marigliano turned his hand over first.
He had .
A surprised Gold said, "That's the best I could hope for!" showing .
The flop came , and a brief spate of somewhat coarse language was softened by, "Nice hand," as the turn and river came . Then the edge was roughened up again, as the cameras caught Gold saying, "Called with threes. This is the World Series....there's a difference between pushing with it and calling with it for all your chips."
