4:20pm: Four down, four to goSo that's four levels down and another four to move. Just like a football match today is a game of 2 halves and you will find level 15-18 updates in a brand new post shortly. -- NW
4:15pm: Ace-nine the hand to carry when you to wish to circumvent the coldA tip for any short stacked players left within the field: get it in with ace-nine because that hand doesn't seem to be capable of lose right now.
The first player to check this theorem was Parker Talbot, he moved all-in for 59,000 with A♣9♣ and located a decision from Antonin Duda, who held pocket queens. The 7♦6♠4♦8♣5♥ board gave both a straight but Talbot's hole card gave him the next one.
At the similar time Marcelo Urbina was all-in for 40,000 holding A♥9♣ and he was sooner than his opponent's K♦9♠. The K♣K♥5♣ flop left Urbina drawing thin but he got there at the 3♣ turn and 2♣ river. Cue mini celebration, which was taken in good spirits by the remainder of the table. -- NW
4:05pm: Troyanovskiy at the doubleVladimir Troyanovskiy is more used to playing Main Events, High Rollers and Super High Rollers at the EPT but he's representing well at this grass roots level here at the UKIPT. He squeezed into the cash and has made a move up the counts with a double up.
Ross Greig opened to 8,000 from under the gun and tank called after Troyanovskiy three-bet all in for 68,200 from the hijack.
Greig: Q♣Q♠Troyanovskiy: A♠K♣
The board ran A♣8♠J♥5♠6♦ to make the Russian two pair. -- MC
3:50pm; Debs destroyed, bubbles UKIPT LondonDeborah Worley-Roberts is used to destroying other player's stacks. This time, unfortunately for her, it's her stack that was destroyed, and at the bubble too.
She opened from under the gun and Pablo Fernandez defended his big unaware of see a T♥A♥T♦ flop that both players checked. Fernandez led the 9♣ turn and set Worley-Roberts all in at the 2♥ river. She called both times with A♦K♣ but Fernandez opened T♣9♥ for a whole house.
"Hero or zero, boys!" mused Worley-Roberts. "That's poker!" she added before leaving.
Her exit meant there has been no use for hand-for-hand play and everybody left in is guaranteed £1,250. -- MC
3:45pm: Stylianou out in 162nd: Loosli finishes 161st.We're now at the pure bubble as Sylvain Loosli is out on 161st and Nicholas Stylianou finished 162nd. The latter check-raised all-in on a 8♠5♣5♥ flop for around 20 big blind and was snap called by Antonio Miranda. The Spaniard, who had three-bet pre-flop, had pocket jacks and his hand-held up at the Q♦ turn and 3♥ river. After that hand Miranda is as much as 600,000 and the probable chip leader. -- NW
3:35pm: Gordillo's luck runs outPablo Gordilla must've been probably the most confident players within the field after his remarkable achievements at the Sunday before last. That just took a knock though after he busted just shy of the money.
The Spaniard moved all in for 17,000 from under the gun and was only called by Anatoly Filatov within the small blind.
Gordilla: K♣9♦Filatov: A♥5♠
The board ran J♦8♣2♦3♣3♠ to overlook both players. The tournament is four places clear of the money now. -- MC

3:15pm; Double just about the bubbleThe tournament clock is showing that the players are only ten spots clear of the cash. It is a good time to double and clearly)( a foul time to bust.
Good news for Nathan Watson that he managed to double then. He raised from the cut-off after which moved all in for 36,300 after Anatoly Filatov three-bet from the button. Call.
Watson: A♦T♥Filatov: 8♣8♠
The board ran J♠9♥6♠T♦6♦. Filatov dropped to 150,000. -- MC
3:05pm: Nanev doubles WillisRumen Nanev is an ordinary at the European poker circuit but he'll must grind it out if he desires to make the cash. He dropped to 40,000 chips after he doubled up Robert Willis.
Nanev opened to 5,000 from under the gun and called when his Irish opponent three-bet all in for 22,500.
Nanev: T♥J♥Willis: A♥9♥
The board ran K♣6♦7♠Q♠4♠ to peer Willis stay alive. -- MC
2:55pm: Brilliant Barton speech gets Agerskov to check"I have you ever by the b**locks!" said Jason Barton to Rasmus Agerskov. It prompted rapturous laugher from Agerskov, the table and many of the room because of the high decibel level. It was also the climax of 5 minutes effort from Barton to get his Danish opponent to test behind.
The two players were battling heads up within the blinds and Barton had check-called bets of 7,400 and 15,100 at the flop and switch. The board rested as A♥9♠7♣5♠8♥ and Barton checked for a 3rd time.
Barton was babbling such a lot that he had Agerskov in a whole spin, such a lot in order that he eventually checked behind with 7♥5♣ for 2 pair, beating out Barton's Q♥9♥.
"Good speech, you were given me to test it!" said Agerskov who climbed to 150,000. -- MC
2:35pm: Chip countsMost of the tables are actually generally a part of Tournament Room A, whilst there's still a couple of tables within the outer part they're rapidly breaking into the principle a part of the room as players are eliminated.

2:20pm: Chip leaders and exitsDay 1A chip leader Gino Levrini looks to be top dog on the moment, his stack of 390,800 which puts him sooner than Evangelos Terzoudis who has 330,000. The latter is on the same table as David Peters, the yankee has roughly 250,000 so if the 2 of them visit war shall we have a runaway chip leader.
Of course poker is a 0 sum game so whilst the chip leaders make hay, others are heading to the exits, they include: Tobias Hausen, Benjamin Windsor, Rocco Palumbo, Lazar Micovic, Gary Solomons, Grayson Ramage, Lee Dixon, George Westwood, Isei Okimoto, Carlos Citara, Padraig O'Neill, Richard Blacklock, Clifford Goldkind, Peter Hegedus, Max Silver, John Bassett, Kristian Svendsen, Kyle Smith, Gregorz Wyraz, Karl Hammerager, Joeri Zandvliet, Jamie Roberts and Javier Etayo.

2pm: BreakThat's the top of level 12 and the rest players at the moment are on a fifteen minute break. -- NW
1:58pm: Good Evans! Richard makes excellent river callAfter seeing he'd made the proper call Richard Evans puffed out his cheeks within the manner of a person who'd just been put during the wringer. That's because he had as Alain Bissai Logbo really put him to the test.
The PokerStarsBlog joined the action on a 4♠J♠6♦ flop to peer Bissai Logbo (button) bet 12,000, both the small blind and Evans (cut-off) made the decision the 6♠, which was an excessively interesting card, fell at the turn. Action again checked to Bissai Logbo, he bet 27,000 and Evans was the one caller. There has been now over 100,000 within the middle because the T♥ completed the board. Evans quickly checked, Bissai Logbo fired again, this time for 52,500 and Evans went into the tank.
At this point Ludovic Geilich arrived on the table having been moved there from a breaking table. He and his friend Michael Kane - who was sat to the appropriate of Richard Evans - started up a talk which increased in volume until the dealer asked them to quieten down because of the gravitas of the verdict faced by Evans. Another minute ticked by after which Evans decided to name. "Good call," said Bissai Logbo, showing K♠T♦, indeed it was as Evans opened A♣J♥.
After that hand Evans is as much as 215,000 whilst Bissai Logbo drops to 150,000. -- NW

1:40pm: White turns to blackOliver White did all he could: get chips in good and leave it within the lap of the poker gods to make your mind up his fate.
He was all the way down to his last 7,600 when he shoved from early position. Jack O`Neill was sat within the cut-off and he raised to 12,600 which was enough to force every body else out.
White: A♣K♠O'Neill: K♦Q♥
The board ran K♥4♥5♠Q♦8♥ to make O'Neill two pair. -- MC
1:20pm: Ludo doing what Ludo doesThat is winning pots and plenty of them. Ludovic Geilich was still stacking some small gains from the former pot when, in position he called a early position raise from Thomas High and this meant the large blind came along in addition.
On the 2♦7♠6♣ flop both players checked to Geilich and his stab on the pot was enough to earn him another pot. -- NW
1:15pm: Tank tales with Deborah Worley-RobertsFrom under-the-gun+1 Pratyush Buddiga opened to 3,600, Madlena Trifonova then three-bet to 12,500 at the button and action passed to Deborah Worley-Roberts within the small blind and he or she went into the tank. She riffled her chips after which cut them right down to see how much she was playing, clearly contemplating whether she could afford a flat call, should raise in place of if folding was the proper option. A deathly silence enveloped the table as all of them realised that Worley-Roberts was facing a tricky decision.
A couple of minutes passed at which point Worley-Roberts glanced to her right and saw Trifonova studying her intently. "Oh Jesus Christ is it on me?" asked Worley-Roberts, cue much laughter. "Why didn't somebody tell me, I'd folded in my head three minutes ago. I'm so sorry." She mucked after which Buddiga did likewise. "I WILL NOT believe I did that especially after supplying you with (Jack O`Neill) shit for taking goodbye. I had 10-3 offsuit or some trash." To which O'Neill said: "It seemed like you had a very big decision to make!" -- NW
1:13pm: Jenkins off to the South of FranceFull Tilt Poker's Ben Jenkins grinded so hard yesterday to make it here today however it was all undone after he ran queens into kings to bust.
He actually utilised pocket kings to double early on and had 30 big blinds when he busted. He informed the blog that Tudor Purice had three-bet off 20 big blinds so he had little choice but to tear. He did and the opener had the kings, called, and busted him.
Jenkins is off to enroll in his family within the South of France so do not feel too sorry for him. -- MC

Another player who's gone deep in a UKIPT has got a double up as UKIPT4 Marbella 2 runner-up Katja Spillum Svendsen came out on top in a hand against Roberto Romanello.
