Closing in on Day Two

We're all set to wrap up here at the Crystal Crown Casino, with at least 45 players set to reach the midway point of the tournament.

We'll have a full chip count ahead of tomorrow's action, as well as more detailed hands and interviews to report as the field thins further.

Unfortunately Tommy Ahmedof (pictured) will not be among those coming back on Sunday, as the Swedish pro lost a flip for his tournament life.

Facing an all-in from a loose-aggressive button, Tommy made the call with 88 and saw his opponent flip A10, then hit the 10 on the flop.

"I had two coin flips today and lost them both," he told us, "Had I won either or even both, it could have been a very different day.

"But I'm happy with that play because I'm crushing a big percentage of his range in that spot and 50-50 with nearly all of the rest.

"It's frustrating to go out with the money in sight and to miss out on Day Two, but I wanted to come back with some chips, not to grind it out as a short stack."
