55 remain... are your players among them?

Many of the fantasy poker favourites play on here in London as the blinds have hit 300-600 with a 50 ante, but it seems life's a struggle for many.

David "Didfish" Pishvafar (pictured) was among the chip leaders earlier today, but his stack looked decidedly less intimidating just moments ago and as I type, Toni Merivuori has his short stack misery ended when his 7s find KK in opposition.

Marek Viscak continues his bid for a third final table on the ParadisePoker Tour, but the end came for the man he beat heads-up in Bulgaria, Aske Muff, despite his early promise.

The average stack now stands just shy of 20,000 chips as we continue to shed players at considerable speed and at this rate, we could be in for an early night!

Update - David Pishvafar was eliminated after first losing a big hand with Kings vs AQ, then running JJ into QQ. "It's all rigged," he joked as he made his exit.
