Testa Eliminates 'Pegasus'
Double Trouble for Sinh Nguyen
On a board showing , Nguyen checked to Vesty from the small blind and the Irishman led out with a bet. Sinh then announced a raise and proceeded to move all of his chips into the middle. Vesty snap-called, tabling pocket sixes for a set and Sinh, visibily angry, dropped everyone's favorite four letter curseword at least three times (resulting in yet another F-bomb penalty; the tournament has seen at least four so far).
Nguyen would improve to three aces by the river, but the extra ace gave Vesty a full boat and earned him the monster pot. Nguyen was left with just a few thousand chips after the hand, while Vesty stacked up well over 125,000.
Erdman Doubles Through Jesus

It seemed as if lightning struck inside the poker room, as the board popped out one spade after another: .
Chris is still in fine shape, though the loss dropped him back under the 100k mark in chips.
Sauers Takes One from Fox
Fox had opened the pot for a 5,000 raise and Sauers re-popped it to 10,000; Fox made the call. The flop came and Fox checked to Sauers, who quickly fired a 5,000 bet.
Fox then opted to reraise, making it a total of 15,000 to go. Sauers sat back in his chair and thought for a moment before suddenly declaring, "I'm all in." He then got up out of his seat and walked a few feet away from the table - his back turned to Fox the entire time.
"You can look now, Jerry," said one of Jerry's railbirds, as Fox folded his hand.
Vanderbeek Pads His Stack
On a board showing , Hamedani checked to Vanderbeek, who decisively cut 20,000 from his stack and slid them into the middle. Hamedani counted and recounted his stack and studied the situation for a solid minute before eventually letting go of his hand.
Vanderbeek has maintained one of the tournament's largest stacks since late on Day 1.
