In the money!

Congratulations to the eight Team Paradise players who have made the money in WSOP #32 - they're now guaranteed at least $2,786!

The man with perhaps the biggest reason to smile is UK player Tom Garland (pictured), who has now cashed in two consecutive years wearing Paradise colours.

After an hour's play just two of the ten team members who made Day 2 missed out, with Manuel Cuberos going out quickly before Portuguese Luis Machado suffering a near bubble knockout.

It was a more positive hour for out Swedish big stacks, however, with both Robert Norberg and Alexander Hanell adding more chips to the armoury.

Norberg eliminated a short stack in a 20,000 pot when he turned the nut straight, before bluffing his way to another nice win to sit on 85,000 chips.

Compatriot Hanell still leads the way with 90,000, but was a little disappointed not to have more after he had the nut flush vs second nut flush. The high stakes pro and his rival both checked their monster hands on the monotone flop, before the board paired and slowed both men down.

Update - Jose Luis Cobo has fallen victim to the post-bubble rush, shipping his short into action and failing to get the help he needed. The Spaniard cashed for $2,786.
