The final 50

In times past we would have been toasting the start of Fantasy Poker points, as we've reached 49 players, but those of you with the likes of Carlos Oliveira, Joao Brito and Christos Xanthopoulous must wait a little longer.

In case you missed the rule tweak, only ITM players now score FP points, so there's now double the bubble for players in the room and blog competition entrants alike.

One man who won't be scoring any points this time around is Gabriel Costas, who bowed out after battling with a short stack for some time.

As reported, the Spanish player had been crippled by a classic bad beat earlier and Lady Luck was feeling equally cruel when his 88 took on AK for his tournament life. 

She waited for the river to deliver the knockout blow, the A♠ looking and less than pretty to Costas as it ended his Day 2 run.

Also missing out on the money is Jandrulo - aka Alejandro Rodrigo Gutierrez. We checked his Twitter feed a few moments ago and the ParadisePoker pro hit the rail when his 88 was busted by Q10 around an hour ago.

We're closing in on another break in play, after which blinds will increase to 1500/3000 with 300 ante. The average stack is approx 119,000.
