Updates will continue in new post, found here. -- NW

4:20pm: Death by quads sends Szeremeta out in 24thIf this hand had happened online they'd say the software was rigged! From under-the-gun+1 Rasmus Agerskov raised to 40,000, Otto Richard three-bet to 110,000 from the bring to a halt and Nicholas Szeremeta then moved all-in for 450,000 from the small blind. Back on Agerskov he too moved all-in and Richard went into the tank for quite a while before folding what he said on the end of the hand was pocket queens. Time for showdown:

Szermeta: A♣A♠Agerskov: K♠K♦

The J♥K♣5♠8♣K♥ board gave Agerskov quads, Szermeta meanwhile shrugged with the air of a person who's seen all of it before. He also acknowledged that earlier he'd cracked Agerskov's kings with ace-king to stick within the tournament. -- NW

4:10pm: Troyanovskiy straightens out Peleckis, right down to 24UKIPT London is redrawing the last 24 players onto three tables after the elimination of Lukas Pelekis.

The action folded around to Vladimir Troyanovskiy at the button and he raised and snap called after Pelekis moved all in for 215,000 from the massive blind.

Pelekis: J♦5♠Troyanovskiy: K♣J♣

Troyanovskiy set free a bit of noise of disgust when the flop fanned 3♠5♥T♠ but was back to his calm, collected self when the board ran out 9♠Q♦ to make him a straight. He moved back as much as 1,450,000.

There will now be a brief break whilst a redraw of the overall 24 players is conducted. -- MC

4pm: Angell flush with chips"Must be nice," and "wow," were just two of the comments as Brett Angell stacked the 1,526,000 chips he'd just won against Vladimir Troyanovskiy.

It was the Russian who started the action, raising to 43,000, Lukas Peleckis flat called at the button and Angell then three-bet to 150,000 from the large blind. Back on Troyanovskiy he moved all-in for around 2,000,000, Peleckis folded and Angell now had a call. He took his headphones out and said to Troyanovskiy: "I BELIEVED chances are you'll do that," before pushing his chips over the line.

Troyanovskiy: A♣K♥Angell: A♦K♣

The J♠2♦T♦3♦4♦ board meant Angell made a four-flush to audible gasps from the table, Troyanovskiy barely flinched. Angell's stack was counted down and he had 763,000 to begin the hand so he's as much as around 1,600,000, whilst Troyanovskiy is all the way down to 1,200,000. -- NW

Angell had some luck from the gods

3:50pm: Beiske busts in blind battleGeorg Beiske have been eliminated in 27th place after a battle within the blinds didn't determine well for him.

The action folded around to Lucas Blanco within the small blind and he raised and called after Beiske shoved.

Blanco: K♣Q♠Beiske: A♣2♣

The board ran 7♦Q♥J♦8♣Q♦ to make the Spaniard trips. -- MC

3:35pm: Kings holdA little over HALF-HOUR after his kings were cracked by the ace-king of Nic Szeremeta, Rasmus Agerskov found them again and this time they held.

He three-bet to 95,000 excessive of Jose Rubio's open of 43,000, when it got back to Rubio he shoved for 541,000 with pocket sixes and Agerskov snap called. The 4♥K♥7♥3♠2♣ board meant Agerskov's kings held but it surely wasn't clear which player covered whom

The stacks were counted down and Rubio had 541,000 to Agerskov's 542,000 meaning he was out. The 2 players had clearly been chatting an even bit in this event, they shook hands, exchanged pleasantries and agreed to check out and grab a drink at somepoint through the remainder of the festival. -- NW

3:25pm: Kimura's luck ran outKima Kimura was lucky to outlive her last all in but she wasn't so lucky the following time.

She opened shoved all in and was called by Rasmus Agerskov at the button, who was holding his lucky hand.

Kimura: A♠8♣Agerskov: T♣T♠

The board came 2♥2♣3♣3♥8♦ to send her to the pay out desk. Agerskov's stac, after a up to date dip, recovered to 550,000. -- MC

LEVEL UP: BLINDS 10,000/20,000, 3,000

3:10pm: Troyanovskiy back into the leadVladimir Troyanovskiy has moved back to the summit after he eliminated Tom Gallagher to transport as much as around 1.7 million.

The Irishman was a tad unlucky after he raised from under the gun and shoved after Troyanovskiy three-bet him from the cut-off. Call.

Gallagher: A♣Q♥Troyanovskiy: A♦T♦

The board ran a Russian flavoured 9♦4♥K♥T♥9♥. -- MC

3:05pm: Not the year of RomaniaDragos Vasile Alinei is the most recent casualty of level 21, busting out to Simon Fleischer. The previous opened to 37,000 and called when Fleischer three-bet to 81,000. At the 9♥A♣J♦ board Alinei simply open shoved for around 250,000 and Fleischer quickly called.

Alinei: 5♥5♦Fleischer: A♠Q♦

The 4♣ turn and 3♦ river saw Alinei head to the rail. -- NW

2:55pm: Tominaga's run endsDaichi Tominaga was right down to around 15 big blinds and committed them with K♠Q♣, unfortunately for him Brett Angell work up with A♣Q♥ and hung on the 2♥K♣2♦A♦5♦ board.

Angell is as much as 1,250,000. -- NW

2:50pm: What am i able to do? Spike an aceWe're right down to four tables as just 32 players remain, but it surely was virtually 31...

From early position Nic Szeremeta opened to 45,000 and it folded to Rasmus Agerskov within the small blind. He asked Szeremeta how much he was playing, about 310,000 total was the answer. Agerskov then slid out a raise to 90,000, Szeremeta moved all-in for 312,000 total and Agerskov called.

Agerskov: K♣K♦Szeremeta: A♠K♥

"What am i able to do," said Szeremeta more to himself than anyone else as he stood as much as watch his fate be dealt. The 7♦A♦Q♣ board meant he took the lead and Agerskov said: "spike an ace!" He hit another one at the A♣ turn and there has been nobody outer at the 5♥. -- NW

Szeremeta survived

2:45pm: Two (almost three) more departA flurry of action occurred at three separate tables and the cries of, "All in an call" echoed across the room.

Rasmus Agerskov took out Hrair Mekhsian after the latter claimed to have moved all in blind for his last 240,000. His holding of king-nine was actually quite strong but he did not beat his Danish opponent's pocket tens.

Meanwhile, Kima Kimura squeezed all in after a raise from Vladimir Troyanovskiy and a choice from Ludovic Geillich. Both players called to a 4♠T♠6♥ flop where Geillich folded to a raffle from the Russian.

Kimura was in serious trouble along with her A♦7♥ to Troyanovskiy's A♠K♠ however the board ran out 4♣6♦ for a chop!

The third all in saw Brett Angell take Cristoph Maximowitz take out over on table one. -- MC

Sly: A♦Q♣Peleckis: A♥K♣

Blinds up: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

2:02pm: Break timeThe players are on their first break of the day.

2pm: Levrini's back!Gino Levrini was the chip leader after Day 1A and made it through to today but with a brief stack. The yank has his mojo back though after he eliminated Javed Ullah by creating a great call.

Ullah raised from mid position and Levrini defended his big blind before he led at a 6♠5♥3♦ flop. Ullah called and both payers checked the Q♣ turn to go straight to the 8♠ river. Levrini led again, for 69,000 and Ullah shoved for 347,000.

Levrini tanked for a couple of minutes before Pablo Fernandez called the clock. "Oh s**t, decisions are tough!" Levrini said to himself after which steadied himself and made the decision.

It was a super call with K♥Q♥ as Ullah was bluffing with A♣J♥. That put the yankee over the million mark. -- MC

1:45pm: Gonzalez is a millionaireAntonio Gonzalez is the most recent member of the millionaire's club after eliminating Matas Cimbolas in a blind on blind battle worth around 500,000 total. The entire chips went in on a T♠5♦6♠ flop with Gonzalez holding K♦T♦ and Cimbolas an inferior top pair with .

The 3♦ turn and T♣ river meant Cimbolas was on his way and Gonzalez is as much as 1,100,000. 39 players remain looking for the primary Event title. -- NW

Gonzalez goes great guns

1:35pm: Levrini loving life once moreIt's fair to mention Gino Levrini was not happy about how his Day 3 ended, the Day 1A chip leader took a succession of beats to finish the day with 200,000. He's so much happier now though after winning a little bit pot against Lukas Peleckis. There has been already numerous chips within the middle by the point we picked up the action at the river of a 2♣6♦5♥Q♥T♣ board, Levrini puhsed forward a big gamble of 140,000 and Peleckis tank-called, Levrini showed 4♦3♣ for the nuts and Peleckis mucked.

The American is as much as around 650,000 after that hand, whilst Peleckis drops to 750,000. -- NW

1:25pm: Sintos sent on his wayThe worst thing about calling all in with a king high flush draw is seeing you're up against the nut flush draw. Epameinondas Sintos saw this before busting to Caicai Huang.

Jose Rubio had raised from under the gun and collected three callers en path to an 8♦3♣9♣ flop. He continued for 62,000 and was called by David Lichentin and Sintos before Huang check-raised all in. Rubio tank folded and Lichentin did so quickly but Sintos called all in for an additional 270,000.

Sintos: K♣J♣Huang: A♣7♣

Sintos was in bad shape and the 6♦6♥ turn and river changed not a specific thing. Sintos was sent to the rail and Huang has a stack approaching 1,000,000. -- MC

1:05pm: Davey overtakes Silver in race for goldThe UKIPT leader board race was tightly contested all season as players compete for some fantastic prizes. The whole points champion will win buy-ins plus hotel to all events for UKIPT Season 5. The whole points runner-up wins buy-ins and hotel package for four events (Main Event entry, and accommodation) with third place receiving buy-in and accommodation to 2 events.

At the beginning of UKIPT Isle of Man, Dara Davey was top, with Max Silver just three points behind. A victory in a £100 side event vaulted Silver to first but last night Davey reclaimed top spot after a sixth place finish in event#8 - £200 NL Turbo Deepstack‏. There's still points up for grabs in side events, but for now Davey is back within the lead. Silver's quest to overhaul him begins with the £2,000 UKIPT High Roller, which got under way at noon. -- NW

Davey is top of the leader board again

Blinds up: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

12:59pm: More for Troyanovskiy Vladimir Troyanovskiy has reclaimed the chip lead after eliminating Espen Solaas in a cooler of a hand. After Daichi Tominaga opened to 20,000, Troyanovskiy three-bet to 43,000 just for Solaas to cold four-bet all-in for approximately 200,000. Tominaga folded, but Troyanovskiy didn't desire a count, he slid some chips forward and opened A♥A♦. Solaas saw the bad news and flipped Q♦Q♠. He was a 80-20 underdog and it didn't get any better for him because the A♣2♦K♦ flop all but ended proceedings, the 3♦ turn left him drawing dead because the meaningless T♣ peeled off at the river.

Troyanovskiy is as much as 1,460,000 in consequence and is chip leader another time. -- NW

12:56pm: Massive pot sees Fernandez leap into the leadThe biggest pot of the tournament just played out between Pablo Fernandez and Javed Ullah. The latter busted and the previous leapt into the chip lead with around 1.4 million.

Fernandez raised from early position before Ullah three-bet to 68,000 off the button. Fernandez's response was to four-bet jam for an efficient 570,000. Ullah tanked for 5 minutes before he called all in. "Holy f**k, that is massive!" commented Gino Levrini. He wasn't wrong.

Ullah: T♣T♥Fernandez: A♦K♣

The board ran Q♠K♥K♣5♠6♥ to make the Spaniard trips kings to vault over Troyanovskiy within the counts. -- MC

12:50pm: Boobekov given the bootUKIPT London have been shrunk to a six-table affair after the elimination of Nurlan Boobekov.

He was unfortunate as he ran ace-jack at the button into the dominating ace-king of Hrair Mekhsian within the big blind. There has been no assistance on the board for the Aussie and he departed.

Table 7 was broken up and Vladimir Troyanovskiy was moved into seat 8 at Ludovic Geillich's table. The Scot looked up and smiled when he saw the chip leader approaching. -- MC

12:35pm: Chip leaders clashVladimir Troyanovskiy and Lukas Peleckis are currently the 2 biggest stacks and they are also sat side by side - a minimum of until their table breaks, it will become the primary to do so.Troyanovskiy has position, nevertheless it didn't matter within the following hand because Peleckis won it to near the gap.

It was actually Nurlan Boobekov who started the action, making it 21,000 to head in early position, Peleckis smooth called from the small blind, just for Troyanovskiy to three-bet from the large. Boobekov got out the way in which but Peleckis stuck around and the 2 of them saw a 7♠3♠Q♠ flop hit the felt. Nobody bit though and the 4♠ came at the turn. Peleckis decided to bet 70,000 at this juncture and Troyanovskiy smooth called. Both players then checked the 2♣ river, Peleckis showed T♠9♠, Troyanovskiy showed just the 8♠ as he mucked. -- NW

12:30pm: Kima Kimura chipping upKima Kimura started the day because the shortest stack with just eight big blinds to her name. She's now got 33 big blinds after here pure aggression got Ludovic Geilich to put down a hand, that isn't easy, it's always the opposite direction round!

She raised pre-flop from early position and Geilich defended from the massive blind. At the 2♦4♥K♥ flop Kimura c-bet 25,000, Geilich check-raised to 75,000 and Kimura then moved all-in for 188,000 total. Geilich spent the most productive a part of five minutes within the tank, all the time he had the 113,000 chips that it cost to name within the palm of his hand. Although he didn't say a word he was using the international signals for, 'she will have this, she will have that, should I call?'

He ultimately elected to fold though, he's all the way down to 290,000, whilst Kimura is as much as 330,000. -- NW

ukipt4 london 2 day3 kima kimura.jpg

It's been a super begin to the day for Kimura

12:20pm: Snowmen melt for EorgiouGeorges Eorgiou is the second one player out today after his pair of eights didn't delay against Benjamin Heath's A♦Q♠ on a 9♦Q♦A♥2♥J♥ board. Eorgiou was all-in for around 15 big blinds, Heath's now as much as around 700,000. -- NW

12:15pm: Barton busts, but Kimura doublesThere was a double up and a bust out within the opening 10 minutes, first the double up. After Georg Beiske opened to 20,000 from the button with J♣T♥, Kima Kimura moved all-in for 79,000 with pocket jacks and Beiske called off the additional. Her handheld at the 7♦2♠5♦T♥6♥ flop, but she's still short with around 172,000.

Meanwhile, on table seven Jason Barton three-bet all-in for around 250,000 with A♠K♠ and Lukas Peleckis, who was the unique raiser, called with A♦J♠ to position Barton in peril. The 8♠8♣J♣ flop gave Peleckis the lead and it hung on the A♣ turn and Q♦ river. -- NW

12pm: Cards are within the airThe preamble is over, play has just started here on the Grand Connaught Rooms. -- NW
