Burt Boutin limps from the cutoff for 3,000, the button raises to 10,000, and Boutin calls. The flop comes {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Boutin checks, the button bets 20,000, Boutin moves all in, and the button folds. Boutin takes the pot, increasing his stack to 110,000.

The Ups and Downs of Eric Hershler

A player moves all in from the button for 14,000, and Eric Hershler calls from the big blind with {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}. His opponent shows {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, and the board comes {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. Hershler's opponent doubles up with a pair of aces.

The next hand, a player in late position moves all in for 29,000, and Hershler calls from the small blind with {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}. His opponent shows {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, and it's a race situation. The board comes {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, and Hershler takes the pot with a set of jacks.

After the two hands, Eric Hershler is back to about 109,000 in chips.

Dr. Pauly Eliminated in 119th Place

[user10554]
[user10554]
Erica Schoenberg raises from middle position to 9,000, Paul McGuire moves all in for 30,000, and Schoenberg calls with {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}. McGuire shows {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The flop comes {Q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and McGuire picks up a diamond flush draw. The turn card is the {3-Clubs}, and McGuire also picks up a gutshot straight draw, and he has 15 outs going to the river.

But the last card is the {8-Clubs}, and Schoenberg wins the pot with her pocket nines. Paul 'Dr. Pauly' McGuire is eliminated in 119th place, earning $4,740. He also receives a bonus prize -- a hug from his friend Erica Schoenberg.

15-Minute Break (Probably Longer)

[user10554]
[user10554]
The players take a 15-minute break, and we expect it to last longer than that as they will be coloring up the black (100) chips. When play resumes in 15-25 minutes, the blinds will increase to 2,000-4,000, with a 500 ante.
