Just a reminder to those that may be following from within an hour's journey to the Grand Lisboa . . . registration closes in an hour.

So if anyone has a spare HK$88,800 or US$11,000 lying round, then head down as this is the last level before registration closes.

The cards are back in the air!

The players are heading on a 10-minute break.

Aditya Agarwal has just taken his seat in this tournament on a table featuring Emad Tahtouh, JJ Liu and Johnny Chan.

"I want a Coke with lemon" asked Van Marcus to the waitress.

She stood there staring blankly at Marcus before he asked a bi-lingual table mate, "hey, how do I order a Coke with lemon?"

He uttered something in Cantonese to the waitress and she quickly hurried off to fetch his order.

"Leng law . . . just say that" another responded.

"How f**king hard is it to order a drink here!" muttered Marcus as he began playing the next hand.

After entering the pot with a raise, only to have Stewart Scott three-bet out of the small blind, Theo Tran four-bet all in.

With Scott needing to call 21,500 into a pot over 20,000, he made the call tabling to be behind Tran's .

Unfortunately for Tran, the board would run out to see him busted from his second tournament today, while Scott climbs to 130,000 in chips.

Here are some of the counts from the High Rollers Event.

Lee Nelson - 126,000
Jay Kinkade - 125,000
Stewart Scott - 124,000
Celina Lin - 120,000
Masa Kagawa - 116,000
Grant Levy - 115,000
Will Ma - 115,000
JJ Liu - 102,000
Jonathan Lin - 100,000

Currently we have 60 players in the field.

Registration is still open until the end of the next level, and with players busting from the Main Event, there is a good chance that last years number of 61 should be reached if not exceeded.

Stay tuned for the final number as PokerNews provides all the updates as they occur.

On a board reading Kent Del Rosario fired out a bet of 35,500 into Emad Tahtouh.

Tahtouh sat there riffling chips for over four minutes before making the call.

Rosario tabled his for a rivered Broadway straight, and Tahtouh angrily mucked his hand to slip to just 25,000 in chips.
