"I didn't expect it to head like this..." said a rather dishevelled Rupert Elder his 80,000 chip stack. Elder had 16,200 coming back today, which left him 524th out of the 542 remaining and at this point he had mixed feelings on his current standing. Needless to say, he wasn't entirely optimistic about coming back and went out to enjoy an evening in town - something he's buying now that he has a decently-sized stack.
"I called a raise with 8-6 and check-raised all in on a 7-6-something flop against ace-ten. After that? I DO NOT remember anything else...nobody has called me," he laughed before adding, "I lost my coat last night, I AM HOPING I WILL BE ABLE TO get it back."
In the same position is Chaz Chattha who's hiding behind his sunglasses.
"I'm wearing these because I'm very hungover..." he said quietly. He was very appreciative once I told him there has been about ten hours to head before play would end. Nevertheless, the British pro seems to was the recipient of an early double-up since he's sitting with an excessively healthy 140,000 at this moment.
Elsewhere, Eugene Katchalov is as much as 160,000 after he eliminated Iliya Yordanov with A♣K♣ against J♦J♠ when the board came A♠K♦3♣3♦7♣. Fellow Team Pro Martin Hruby has 120,000 and managed to not lose too many chips with A♦K♥ against A♠A♥ on a 6♦4♦5♠8♥T♦ board. The general Team Pro Julien Brecard, continues to be on the lookout for a place to shove, he has 35,000 and can likely wish to double up sooner or later soon.
Over 100 players have already been eliminated to this point include (deep breath!): Martin Staszko, Jasper Wetemans, Jyri Merivirta, Dylan Linde, Josh Hart, Mike Hill, Maxim Panyak, Manig Loeser, Ana Marquez, David Vamplew, Jakob Karlsson, Adam Levy, Hugo Lemair, Ruben Visser and Roberto Romanello.
