6:20pm: Lose one win one for TroyanovskiyVladimir isn't exactly shy about wielding his chip stack around and he just played two meaty pots in succession, winning one and losing one. Within the first there has been a raise to 50,000 under-the-gun from Rasmus Agerskov, Brett Angell flat called within the small blind, Troyanovskiy then three-bet to 190,000 from the large blind and Agerskov was the one caller.
The J♥7♠K♠ flop was checked through and the 6♣ fell at the turn, Troyanovskiy checked again, Agerskov bet 125,000 and Troyanovskiy smooth called. The 4♠ fell at the river, both players checked and Agerskov's K♣Q♣ was prior to Troyanovskiy's A♥J♠. "I should've have jammed on you, do you call?" asked Agerskov. "Of course," shrugged Troyanovskiy.
A couple of hands later he called Brett Angell's button open from the small blind and the 2 of them saw a 3♠4♣T♣ flop, which checked through to the K♣ turn. Troyanovskiy led for 55,000, Angell raised to 172,000 and Troyanovskiy smooth called the raise.

5:40pm: Confrontation over as Fernandez busts to LevriniIt's fair to mention that Gino Levrini and Pablo Fernandez won't be sending one another Christmas cards this year. The 2 players got into two arguments earlier over the quantity of time the yankee took to think in hands. Levrini used some choice words towards Fernandez when defending himself and just eliminated the Spaniard in a classic race.
All the chips went in pre flop in a hand worth greater than 900,000.
Levrini: J♦J♥ Fernandez: A♦Q♠
The board ran 8♠K♣5♠T♥4♠ to peer the jacks hold.
Fernandez wished everyone the entire best and headed to the pay out desk. -- MC
5:35pm: Blanco and Fleischer visit warFrom the button Simon Fleischer opened and Lucas Blanco defended from the small blind. Fleischer then bet the flop and switch of a 5♠A♥9♣2♥ board, with Blanco check-calling twice to create a pot of 700,000 by the point the 8♠ completed the board.
Blanco checked again, Fleischer set him in for about 500,000 and Blanco snap called. Fleischer turned over A♠9♠ and seemed confident it was the most efficient hand, but Blanco had 5♥5♣ for a flopped set and Fleischer said: "Oh wow," when he saw Blanco's hand.
After that hand Blanco is as much as 1,700,000, whilst Fleischer is all the way down to 500,000. -- NW
5:20pm: Troyanovskiy as much as 3.4m, Richard and Geilich goneVladimir Troyanovskiy is as much as 3,400,000 after eliminating two players in quick succession. First he took out Ludovic Geilich when he Russian flopped a suite of threes on a six high flop. The Scot had pocket eights, committed his chips and didn't hit his two outer.
Then he raised to 51,000 with A♥J♦ and called when Otto Richard shoved for 550,000 with pocket twos. A K♣6♣5♠6♦5♦ meant Richard's pair was counterfeited at the river. With 18 players left the Russian already has the common stack for when seven players remain. -- NW
5:10pm: Meca leaves space for Gellich to double with Otto callPatrik Meca was eliminated in 22nd place and Ludovic Geillich moved into the distance created on table 2 and located it much more pleasant.
The action folded around to Otto Richard at the button and he shoved, having both Geillich and Fabrizio Fuchs covered. Fuchs folded but Geillich snap called off his 345,000 stack.
Richard: A♠7♣Geillich: A♣T♣
The board ran T♥6♣J♠Q♦J♦ to make the Scot two pair.
"I was auto calling, like online you probably have that box ticked to name any bet." Said a jovial Geillich. --MC
4:55pm: Hawkins can't hold, out in 23rdAfter a raise to 56,000 under-the-gun from Sandro Mescola, it folded all of the method to Keith Hawkins within the small blind and he moved all-in for 233,000. Upon getting a count of the all-in stack Mescola thought for a few minutes before making the call.
Hawkins: A♣Q♠Mescola: A♠J♠
Hawkins had Mescola dominated however the board came 6♦2♦7♦J♥T♥, Mescola hit his kicker to win the hand and send a legend of UK poker packing. -- NW
