Anette Obrestad and Jason Koon have been testing each other other out so far. There as been a lot of button raising and the occasional three-bet, which has always gotten through so far.
That changed when Koon raised to 12,000 and called when Obrestad three-bet to 36,000.
The flop fell 
and Obrestad announced, "Pot."
Koon folded.

A lot players have been Tweeting this morning about how big a favorite David Benefield is in this event, now that it's down to 8 players. They might've looked at the name of Simeon Naydenov and thought, "Who is this guy?"
Benefield might've had the same thought, but now he knows all about the Bulgarian who's slowly building a fearsome reputation across the pond.
Benefield opened to 6,000 and Naydenov peeled before both players checked the 
flop.
The turn came 
and Naydenov check-called an 8,000 bet to see the 
river. He checked again to face a 22,000 bet that he treated to a check-raise all-in for around 150,000. Benefield threw his hands up a little, thought about it, and admitted defeat when he folded.
Andy Frankenberger had already taken out one of Leif Force's legs. He just cashed in one of his lammers and is down in early action.
David Benefield has again cashed in both his rebuy lammers at the start of play. He's done so each match he's played thus far. All other players have the standard stack.
