I just had a chance to get a quick word with Oliver Boyce (he of the infamous bad beat from earlier) during the break. Remarkably he’s back up to 8k even though that hand had him hanging on with just 1500 left. He told me that “what hurts isn’t losing the hand as a bad beat but that I have lost so much more because it would have made me one of the chip leaders, and I would have cruised into Saturday”.

Good luck to Oliver in the future and hopefully he can keep turning it around anyway as he seems like a top bloke.
