Sunny With Outbreaks of Call

Although not one of the early chip leaders, it would be unwise to discount Sunny Chattha. Just now he checked to opponent Justin Kean on the river, with the board standing 5s-3h-9h-8h-Tc. Kean bet 3,500 (just under the size of the pot). Sunny calmly looked at everything there was to look at - the pot, Justin, his chips, the board again, and then suddenly came to a decision - call. Kean instantly tapped the table, flipping the Ac (and later the 7c) while Sunny took the pot down with no less (and no more) than 2d-2h!

Elsewhere:

Azzy Asghar, resplendant in white suit like James Bond at the races has amassed a very respectable 45k which he 'stacks' by forming a long caterpillar of on-their-sides chips. He's very cheerful, even when doubling up Matthew Nieberg who moved his tiny stack in pre with Kd-8d saying, "How much?" in the big blind, then quickly adding, "Oh it doesn't matter. I call," with Qc-7s. Nieberg took that one, but it wasn't enough to get him back in the game and he's now out.

Elsewhere still:

Karl Fenton and Anthony Dunsford see a 4c-Qh-7s raised flop heads up. Dunsford checks, Fenton bets 2,175. A long pause. Dunsford now check-raises to 6,125. Instantly Fenton moves all-in (or throws in enough 5k chips to set his opponent in). And other very long pause. This is somewhat surprising given that Dunsford has now committed half his stack, but it turns out he was right to be unhappy with his Ac-Qd... He called all-in and Fenton flipped 4h-4s for the flopped set, muttering, "Unlucky" as the turn and river brought threes completing his house and bumping Dunsford out of the tournament.

We are now on a 40 minute break...
