With 
already wide open on the table and the 
in front of Stephen Chidwick (under the gun), it was clear we missed something big. Max Silver shook hands with Chidwick and was getting up, his cards had already been mucked by the dealer.
"What did you have?" we sensitively asked Silver.
"I had the ace of spades and a queen..." Silver answered.
Max Silver bet 5,500 on a flop of 
and got action from Mikita Badziakouski, who defended his big blind. Silver bet 13,000 on the

Pierre Neuville was on the button and tanking when we got to his table. The board read 
, and Liv Boeree was all in for 42,600 under the gun. That represented almost all of Neuville's stack as well, and he elected to fold.
Mikko Turtiainen gathered 115,000 in chips on Day 1 but hasn't shown up yet today. We hope he's OK, as he's getting blinded off and his stack is diminishing quite rapidly.
Max Silver, who started the day with 175,000, was down to just 52,700 just now when he got it in before the flop against William Kassouf. Silver had

Zvi Stern opened to 4,500 from early position and Martin Finger three-bet to 14,000 from the hijack.

The former November Niner was more fixed on Finger than on Troyanovskiy it seemed, and eventually decided to pass. Finger called.
Vladimir Troyanovskiy: 
Martin Finger: 
The board ran out

Benjamin Winsor shoved from the cutoff over an open to 4,500 from Viktor Ustimov on his right. Ustimov snap-called since he had . Winsor was utterly crushed with 
but found some help on the 
flop. The 
turn further improved him with a flush draw, causing Ustimov to shake his head. He dodged the outs with the 
river.
Sergi Reixach and Jean-Noel Thorel, who battled in the €25,500 Single-Day High Roller a couple of days ago, have both been eliminated. Nick Petrangelo, Remi Castaignon and a lot of other players have also departed already. Keep an eye on our chip count page throughout the day to keep track of who's still in and who has departed.
