Pay attention, everyone! This is how you need to run if you're going to be chip leader in the WSOPE Main Event:
Bojan Geldovic: 
Quinn Do: all in preflop with 
Board: 
The unfortunate Do took his leave, while Gledovic's monster stack is now flirting with the 800,000 mark.
Almira Scripchenko opened to 8,000 before Michael Benvenuti three-bet all in for 54,200. Scripchenko gave it a good, hard look, then made the call for about half her stack. It was a race:
Scripchenko: 
Benvenuti: 
Benvenuti was nervous for his tournament fate, but his fears would be laid to rest as the dealer ran a safe board of 
. That's a double up for Mr. Benvenuti, while the last lady left standing has been set all the way back to just 41,000.
Viktor Blom opened for 6,800 and Roland de Wolfe called to see a flop; de Wolfe flat-called a further 14,500 from Blom when the flop came down 
.
The turn was the 
and this time they both checked. But on the 
river, things got interesting.
Blom now bet out 25,000 - only for de Wolfe to shove for around 86,000. A long period in the tank followed, and eventually Blom called, but de Wolfe tabled 
for a rivered set, and doubled to around 210,000.
"Nice bluff," laughed Blom, whose downward motion in the chip counts continues. He's at 350,000 now.
Daniel Negreanu likes this tournament and had hopes of making his third final table here in a row but those hopes have just been dashed. Darren Woods opened to 7,100 from the cut-off to face a 20,100 three-bet from Negreanu in the SB. Woods mulled over his decision before sticking in a four-bet and very quickly Negreanu moved in. "I guess I call" said Woods as the push was for little more.
Negreanu: 
Woods: 
The board came 
to see Woods' hand hold up. "I can't believe you thought I was going to fold there" Said Negreanu. "I'm never folding in that spot" he continued.
"I'm one of those people who never believe anyone" responded Woods who now how around 540,000 chips.
From under the gun, Phil Ivey raised to 7,500. Youngster Rudy Blondeau called from the hijack seat to make it heads up to the flop.
The flop came down 
and Ivey fired a continuation bet of 11,000. Blondeau called to see the fall on the turn. Ivey slowed down with a check and Blondeau checked behind.
The river completed the board with the and Ivey checked again. Blondeau fired 23,000 and then Ivey put in a check-raise to 66,000. Blondeau tanked for a bit, but found the courage to stick the chips in for the call. Ivey tabled the and Blondeau the 
. The two chopped up the pot with Blondeau returning to 165,000 and Ivey to 490,000.
Starting the day with just 37,200, Simon Persson had actually climbed up through the first level, although not to the point where Andrew Pantling would have been seriously damaged by losing to a preflop confrontation with him. In fact, he ran smack into Pantling's 
and busted just 11 places from the money.
Under the gun, Daniel Steinberg opened to 7,500, and he found one call as Eli Elezra came along from the big blind.
The two men took a flop of 
, and Elezra knocked the table. Steinberg continued out with 8,000 chips, Elezra check-raised to 25,000 straight, and Steinberg called.
The turn caused Elezra to pause and count down his own stack. After some time soaking in the tank, he said "Sixty-one more," and moved all in for what looked like 61,300 to our eyes. Steinberg quickly called with the covering stack, flipping up . Elezra nodded knowingly and turned up his 
, standing from the table in preparation for his exit.
The river did nothing to improve his plight, either, and Elezra is just another name in the bust-out list now.
Marc Inizan raised preflop and bet out on both the flop and turn of the 
board before Hoi Cheung pushed for an additional 58,200. There followed an almost interminable spell in the tank for Inizan - said spell only broken when he folded, dropping to to 200,000. Cheung upped his stack significantly to 130,000.
A pretty big pot ended up being chopped by James Mitchell and Thomas Bichon (just shy of 200k) but Mitchell looked a tad disappointed at the way the river rolled...
It started with a preflop raise to 7,500 from Nicolas Levi under the gun, called by James Mitchell and Thomas Bichon, and the big blind Rob Akery. Only Mitchell (the bettor - 14,500) and button Bichon survived the 
flop, however.
The turn brought the and a check from Mitchell. A long pause from Bichon, who finally brought out and bet 26,000. Mitchell called without much hesitation his end. On the 
river, Mitchell check-called another bet, of 55k, and showed down the same full house with his as Bichon had caught on the river with his , which could have been in a world of difficulty in other circumstances.
Anton Wigg has just been eliminated by Hoyt Corkins. The two got into a raising battle preflop that saw Wigg's dominated by the for Corkins when all of the money was in the middle.
The board ran through 
and Wigg hit the rail. Corkins is now up to about 215,000.
