8.15pm: Geilich down but removed from outAt the beginning of level seven Ludovic Geilich told the PokerStars Blog that he'd be delighted if he can make it during the day with the 60,000 stack that he had on the time, well he's got some work to do as he's all the way down to 45,000 after a 3 barrel salvo went awry.
He raised under-the gun to 1,600 and Tom Bedell, who was within the small blind was the one caller. At the J♥5♠5♥J♠5♦ board Geilich bet 1,800, 4,100 and 14,200 respectively with the general bet setting Bedell all-in. The Norwegian called all three bets including the all-in. "I play the board," said Geilich after Bedell called his river shove, Bedell rolled over J♣9♣ for a larger boat. -- NW
8pm: Poker gods answer Godino's prayersGabriel Godino just got a miles needed reprieve to double his very short stack to a still short, but not quite as short stack.
The Spaniard shoved for 1,450 (not up to two big blinds) with Q♠7♠ and Richard Milne Snr isolated all-in for approximately 12,000 with A♠9♥. The others left them to it and the dealer burned and turned a 2♠9♠Q♥ flop, "that's bad," said Milne Snr who had gone from first to worst within the blink of a watch. The board ran out 2♣8♠ and Milne Snr quipped "I'm still here," as he counted his remaining 10,000 or so chips. -- NW

7:45pm: Beachy!If you are a PokerStars Qualifier and are wondering what you will get to your player bag then the wait is over way to Team PokerStars Online's Dale Philip who posted its contents on twitter. The PokerStars Blog is quite jealous of the beach ball!
7:40pm: Six figure clubThe six-figure club is an exclusive club of 1 these days as Christian Bauer, with 110,000, is the one man to breach that figure. His closest challenger seems to be Paul Kristoffersson who has 92,000. -- NW
7:30pm: Elliot not dancing anymoreUKIPT Nottingham finalist Willie Elliot won't be returning to a major Event final table this week after he busted to Ian Holmes.
He raised to 1,200 before Holmes tried to open the pot to 1,600 as he hadn't see Elliot's raise. The dealer tried to enforce a raise to 2,400 however the players called the ground who ruled a min raise to 1,800 would suffice.
Once that confusion was sorted, Elliot jammed 12,500 with pocket nines and was called by Holmes, holding big-slick. Holmes flopped an ace and rivered a king to oust the preferred Elliot. -- MC

"I started out well today, from 20k straight to 40k before getting as much as 60k and after that I probably played slightly badly. I went all the way down to about 26k about two and a half hours ago and now I'm back as much as 60k!
"I had kings against jacks. I opened early position, got three-bet from the small blind, I four-bet click it back and just five-bet jammed for roughly 20,000. I call and hold.
"I keep saying to myself I WILL relax but I keep playing like my usual self. I WILL must calm myself down slightly; I WILL BE over the moon if I WILL get to the top of the day with the stack I'VE now!" -- MC

On the Q♥9♠7♥ flop it checked to Phipps who bet 1,650 right into a pot of approximately 4,900, Casnocha then moved all-in for 9,700 and it folded back to Phipps. He tanked for approximately 30 seconds before folding what he said was a straight draw. -- NW

He told the blog that there have been a few limps and an isolation raise before he shoved 6,400 with pocket sixes. The raiser called with eight and held to bust the Brit.
Goulder wasn't downhearted and can enjoy some holiday time before playing the High Roller in a few days. -- MC
5:20pm: Kane feels the painUKIPT Edinburgh finalist Michael Kane has dropped to 23,000 after Anders Dahlin forced him off a hand.
Both players were in early position and went heads-up to a 7♦Q♦J♠ flop. Kane bet 1,000 and called after his Swedish opponent check-raised to 3,200.
On the 3♦ turn Dahlin led for 6,200 and Kane called after staring down his opponent. The board completed with the T♣ and Dahlin wasted little time in betting 14,175.

5pm: Goulder at halftimeAlex Goulder is likely one of the rising stars of the united kingdom poker scene. He's here in Marbella for Day 1A and the blog caught up with him within the tunnel about his day to this point.
"I wish you'd have asked he half an hour ago because it was going very well then but I just lost two pots, one in all them really big. I lost queens versus king-jack all in pre against a brief stack.
"In the really big pot I peeled a three-bet with Q♣T♣ and the flop came king-jack-three, one club and two spades. I check-raised to get it in with this guy and he jammed with nines, which was roughly optimistic! I tuned the flush draw after which bricked off - too many outs and all that! I'VE 6k now so we'll see." -- MC
