We mentioned earlier that a lot of the orphaned stacks of chips belong to top pros who are making a late entrance. But not all of them.
At Scott Lazar and Davood Mehrmand's table, there is a stack being blinded away on Lazar's right. The name on the entry list shows the player as "Bo D. Ho." Mr. Ho, your stack is being blinded off, so you might want to come down to the Rio as quickly as possible.
Melissa Hayden and Chris Ferguson were heads-up on the flop. Both players checked and the turn brought the . Hayden led out for 2,200 and Ferguson made the call. The river was the and Hayden checked, then called a 2,500 bet from Ferguson. Hayden had while Ferguson had .

Davood Mehrmand claims he folded A-Q (which would have him in the lead), but he had a bad feeling because Lazar looked so strong when he pushed.
The turn card is the , and the river card is the , giving Lazar the pot with two pair. (And if Mehrmand were still in the hand, he would have received a bad beat.)

The last remaining table from the poker tent has just been moved into the Amazon Room.
It was a big change for the last table, who actually seemed to be comfortable out there by themselves in a rather peaceful atmosphere. There was a satellite going on the other side of the tent, but their area was relaxed and peaceful. Now that they're in the Amazon Room, there is much more background noise, including the cricket-like chatter of 1,500 people shuffling their chips.
