Quads For Overdijk; Berntsen No More
A grand total of five players saw a flop of 
fall. Norman Overdijk and three other players checked to Curtis Bertsen who shipped all in for a little over 200,000. It folded back to Overdijk who flat called with one player left to act. The final player folded, allowing Overdijk to triumphantly table 
for quad sevens.
Berntsen meekly tabled his 
for nothing but an insignificant flush draw. The 
on the turn filled his flush, but his fate was already sealed. The 
completed the board and he was sent packing. Overdijk, on the other hand, is now in a commanding chip lead with 745,000.

and unfortunately for Leblond, a king rolled off on the flop, eliminating him from play and sealing his fate as the bubble boy.
Simultaneously across the room, a short-stacked Patrick Wang was all in with 
against an opponent's . The flop looked fairly safe for Wang as it came 
, but the turn and river were the and the respectively, giving Wang's opponent a flush and eliminating him from play.
The tournament staff ruled that the payouts go by chip count which means that Leblond is our official bubble boy as he started the hand with less chips. Wang, on the other hand, is our 108th place finisher and the first player in the field to cash.
