One lost pot can't slow down Pat Moeller's big day.
He limp called when one of the blinds made it 2,400. Then joined his opponent in checking the flop.
Moeller called another 4,000-chip bet on the turn, but the river saw checks from both players.
Moeller claimed an ace, but mucked when his opponent showed .

The run-good continues for Nick Alafogiannis.
He limp-called from middle position when the player in the big blind made it 1,900. The small blind came along for the ride and they went three-handed to an flop.
The small blind led out for 2,375, the big blind made it 5,000 and Alafogiannis flatted. Once again, the small blind came along and the turn was revealed. The small blind checked, but not the big, she pushed all her chips in and only Alafogiannis called.
She had , but Alafogiannis had her crushed, having turned a straight after flopping an open-ended straight flush draw with .
The river obviously changed nothing and Alafogiannis pushed up close to 80,000.

To this point, it appears Blake Napierala will have to settle for that fourth-place finish in Event #6 last night.
Unless he chooses to re-enter this Main Event either later today or tomorrow.
He got it all in preflop dominated with against Adam Foster's . A flop that included the and not much else was enough to send Napierala to the rail and vault Foster up towards the top of the chip counts.

Two of the area's most respected rounders just tangled over a sizable pot.
Andy Spears made it 1,200 from late position before Travell Thomas started talking.
"Oh, I'm gonna crack you," he said, making the call from the small blind.
Jason Nablo also called from the big blind and they went three-way to the flop. Two checks were followed by a Spears bet of 2,000 which only Thomas called.
The turn came the and Thomas check-called another 3,800 Spears bet. The river was the trend following and after another check from Thomas, Spears fired a hefty 10,500.
"I think I have to fold my flush here man, and it sucks," Thomas said, tanking for a minute before eventually letting it go.
