"AZIZTAAAA!" was the yell we heard from Table 30 where Van Marcus is sitting. That caught our attention, and we made our way over to see that Marcus had just picked up a nice pot to move over 80,000 from Julius Colman.
On the hand, Colman check-raised Marcus on the 
flop from 7,000 to 23,500. Marcus called.
The turn was the 
, and Colman checked. Marcus moved all in for around 30,000, and Colman gave it up.
After the hand, Marcus wanted us to add a little note telling a special someone he misses them, followed by a "<3."

We just caught the very last bit of a hand that cost Mike Watson most of his chips. The board read 
when the dealer picked up Watson's 
and tossed them into the muck. Jarrod Glennon had shown 
and dragged in a nice double up.
Watson still has some chips to play with, but it's not nearly as comfortable compared to half an hour ago.

A short-stacked Nurlan Boobekov moved all in under the gun for 12,600 and received a call from Mike Watson in the hijack. The rest of the field folded and it was off to the races.
Watson:
Boobekov:
An ace in the window generated some excitement, but much to Boobekov's relief it was followed by a nine on the 
flop. Boobekov had a hammerlock on the hand, and just for good measure, the dealer burned and turned the 
. The meaningless 
was run out on the river and Boobekov's quads gave him a double within the first ten minutes of play.
