LEVEL UP

Blinds 2k/4k ante 500          29 players remaining

There are a couple of stacks which are way out in front - one of them is on the TV table in front of Johan Storakers.  This player has had a pretty phenomenal record here at the Masterclassics, I think a first place, a second and an eighth, and has just doubled up to around 300k after getting it all in either on the flop or preflop against Peter Dalhuijsen.  He had a flush draw which came through on the river.

Elsewhere Tony Bloom has gone on the tear, rocketing up to a massive 365k today.  He knocked out Acar for a tidy pot and now dominates his table now that other Chip Monster Norinder has gone to the TV table.

OUT are Hairabedian, Vreeswijk and Mazlum, if that hasn"t been said before.

Go on the Bloom!!!

Actually there are now 28 players left. Not sure who shoved and who called, but Nick Gibson found himself holding  :as: and facing an all-in Bouchaib holding  qc js.

Flop -  

Turn -  td and there is some oooh-ing for Bouchaib"s straight draw

River -   and it"s Nick Gibson who"s picked up a straight. Bouchaib is OUT and Nick Gibson is in slightly better shape, although still not nearly on a level with the monster stacks he"s sharing the TV table with.

Storakers in the break, unwilling to leave the table that it looks like he"ll be occupying for the foreseeable after that monster double-up.

In a great mood currently is Michael Martin. Not sure exactly how he picked up 300k in chips, but he"s very very happy about it. And judging by this photo, a bit surprised too.

He called me on the last break and I know that he knocked out two other players....Rensink and Cobben......so that"s where he got part of that stack.  And, he"s forced to wear a hat because he dreadfully needs a haircut.

Thanks, I was wondering where they"d gone. I do quite miss Renskink"s hat though. Will endeavour to get photo of bad Martin hairdo.

Down to 26, and the short stacks, like Rumit Somaiya with just 58,500 are getting a little bit desperate, but not lemming-like, seeing as the standard raise this level seems to have settled on 11k. 

Over in the Non-TV area, there"s been a lot of textbook-defying under-the-gun action.  For example, Trond Erik Eidsvig and Noah Boeken both stole the considerable blinds from that position just now, the latter having Ilari Sahamies to his right, after a table break (that can"t be the easiest blind to attack...).  But when Christian Grundtvig tried the same trick, he found Helland re-raising over 30k and passed.

It"s officially fair to stop calling Rumit "One Hand Rumit," though.

Another outage, this time Mr Van Der Brink and his shiny shiny white outfit. I"m afraid this is the best photo I could get as he scarpered.

Meanwhile Tony Bloom"s brakes appear to be still firmly off (or someone"s cut the cables)...

He button raised just now to 10,400, given a spin by big blind Eidsvig.
Flop:   ::  Eidsvig checked, Bloom bet 17k, call.
Turn:  ::  Double check
River:   slightly slower double check

Eidsvig flips the   , which turns out to be good...
