Roberto Romanello has run into some bad luck to drop into a dangerous zone in terms of his chipcounts, with less than 20 big blinds.
Romanello raised to 135,000 over the top of an opening bet to 55,000 and when the original raiser went all-in for 575,000, Romanello called it off with pocket queens. He was way in front up against , but an ace on the flop and no help for Romanello doubled his opponent up to 1.2million and dropped the Welsh Wizard and partypoker ambassador to just 525,000 chips, equating to 17 big blinds.
The post-break casualties included Jakub Michalak, Thomas Muehloecker, Louise Duffy, Barny Boatman and Stefan Schillhabel. Martin Kabrhel and Eric Le Goff were also gone, while Kully Sidhu walked into the tournament area around 20 minutes late with a ticket in hand he had bought before the registration closed.

In the last hand before the break, Paul Carr raised from under the gun and Lander Lijó Bereciartua called in the cutoff, the big blind also called. The flop came and the big blind checked. Carr bet 90,000 and Lijo raised to 280,000, forcing a fold from Stephen Woodhead in the big blind and a call by Carr.
On the turn, both players checked and Carr then bet the river for 315,000. Lijo shoved for another 912,000 on top of that and Carr was deep in the think tank. Eight minutes into the break, Lijo eventually called the clock while both had traded some table talk, guessing each other's hand.
Carr then folded the face up and Lijo flashed for casual quads. Fabio Sperling in the one seat was watching the show unfold before also heading into the break.
