Tour pro Blake Bohn has already busted his first bullet. We didn't catch the action, but he had in front of him, good for aces up, but Harry Behling had better aces up with .
We found Todd Melander deep in the tank against an all-in wager from Kou Vang. The Mid-States Poker Tour team pro was all in for what looked to be a bit more than 11,000, and Melander double-checked and recapped his cards as he continued to tank. He shrugged and finally folded after a couple of minutes. Vang tossed into the middle for a missed combo draw.

Jeff Birt bet 8,000 on a board of , and one player called in the hijack, while another folded. On the river, Birt went with a much smaller bet, 4,000. His opponent called, leaving himself with just a few hundred behind, and Birt tabled for a set.
Ken Rosheisen bet 1,400 on a flop of , and Nick Pupillo made it 4,400 in late position. Jason Sell, who had checked from the small blind, shoved all in for 8,225, and Rosheisen let his opponents have at it. Pupillo immediately called.

Sell:
Sell's two overcards and a straight draw didn't have as much equity as he may have hoped since Pupillo had a better hand and a better draw. The turn and river were both bricks, and Sell sent his stack to Pupillo.
Pupillo, an Illinois native, has racked up more than $250,000 in cashes this year and is in the hunt for Mid-States Poker Tour Player of the Year, currently sitting in seventh.
