Now it was Salter's turn to take his time to consider his options, after a while, Salter moved forward his stack of 25,000-value chips worth almost 500,000 which would put Badziakouski all-in as he had left. Badziakouski got up from his chair, sat back down, shook his head, glanced at Salter, and dived into the tank. After a while, he looked at Salter once more before folding.

Different poker players have different approaches to social media. Some you very rarely hear from until they win a tournament, and others are updating at every break to keep their friends/fans/backers (delete as applicable) informed.
One such player is Jack Sinclair, whose Instagram posts document the rise and fall of his tournament so far.
"It's been a slow start," said Sinclair on the first break. "I have about what I came into today with; nothing's really happened. I have maybe a little bit more so I can't complain.
"By this point, it's just habit," said Sinclair when asked about his social media updates. "I don't think it's necessarily beneficial; especially in intense situations. At final tables or deep in very big tournaments I post a lot less because it can be a distraction, but in general, I just do it when I have a moment and it's not too much of a hassle."

With five more levels of play today, Sinclair insists that the Main Event has become more of a "survival game".
"We're 50-odd players off the money. I had a tough table which just broke, and now I'm at another slightly less tough table! It'd be kind of good to cash because I have no Euros after this! So if I want to keep playing in Europe, I'd like to cash this or I'll have to do some currency exchange.
"At the moment the structure is so deep that I'm able to wait a bit more than usual. So I'm just chilling out at the moment."
Niveau: 15
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
In the first level of the day, 32 players were eliminated, and the remaining 131 are going on their first 15-minute break of the day.
When they return the blinds will be 3,000/6,000 with a big blind ante of 6,000. The current average stands atjust over 400,000.
