Dave Ulliott is down to 7,000 after a failed bluff attempt versus Kamal Choraria. The board read and Ulliott led for 1,200 from UTG and was called by Choraria on the button. Ulliott bemoaned his luck as he revealed the drawing to almost everything but ultimately ten-high . Choraria opened for the pot that helps him up to 16,500.
Fabrice Soulier is about as happy as a penguin in a microwave after losing with aces, aces and tens.
It was Allen Kessler who alerted us to the biggest of the three, the cliffnotes reading: aces versus queens, queen on the river.
Dan Shak was the man who took the 13,500 pot.
If that wasn't enough, Soulier exited moments later, no good against on a board.
Twenty minute break for one and all
With the players dropping faster than Blackpool at Chelsea, the tournament recommences.

John Racener pushed all-in UTG for around 750 and Stephen Chidwick made the call next to him.
Racener showed dominated by Chidwick's both before and after the board.
Chidwick now on 19,000.
Dave Ulliott found out a while ago that it's a bad idea to bluff Kamal Choraria and Levi Twinley has just found that out too. We caught up with the action at the river with the board reading and Choraria led for 1,200 only to face a raise to 4,200. He looked surprised at facing a raise but made the call with . Twinley could only muster to lose the pot putting him down to 9,000 whereas Choraria is up to 23,000.
Just two tables remaining in the Shadow room now, here's some of the counts.
Cousineau's jump up came from a 20,000 chip he just won when he 3-bet with against another player who decided to put his 10,000 in with just .
Stuart Rutter, meanwhile has been eliminated after getting in a 3-way pot with against against . The queens held to send both big slicks on their way.
