Back-to-Back for Brat
board and the turn had been checked through before Hellmuth bet on the end. He was called and his 
was good.The next hand just got as far as the
flop where a Hellmuth bet took it down.
Kravchenko Climbing

board and then mucked; Kravchenko is up to 94,500.

If he hadn't just lost a pot to an opponent holding

Like Sands Through One's Fingers
O'Disaster for O'Dell
Alex Keating opened under the gun and O'Dell and another gentleman on the cutoff both called. Over to Fu Wong in the small blind who reraised; three calls later and they were at the
flop.Wong bet out and O'Dell was the only caller, so they went heads up to the
turn. Wong checked and O'Dell bet; call. The river was the and Wong checked again. This time when O'Dell bet, Wong raised. O'Dell called, but mucked when Wong turned over pocket aces for a full house.Fair enough, that hand put Wong up to 40,000 and knocked former big stack O'Dell down to 52,000. But wait! There's more...
With the betting capped preflop, the short-stacked small blind moved all in on the
flop and O'Dell called in mid position. A couple seats down, Alex Kravchenko raised; O'Dell called that too. O'Dell check-called the continued betting from Kravchenko on the
turn and the 
river before flipping pocket fours for the flopped set that had turned into a lackluster full house by the river -- and Kravchenko tabled for the turned full house and rivered quads. Nice.Kravchenko's up to a very excellent 70,000 after that. The luckless O'Dell is down to 31,000 and just walked off in an attempt to center himself. Yikes.
Hang Hung a Little
. Tommy Hang check-called a bet from a player on the button. They both checked the 
river and Hang then led out on the 
river. His opponent called and showed , which was good for the pot as Hang could only produce the . Hang down to 66,000.
Naalden Nails It
He got his last in with
against an opponent's 
and the flop conveniently cam down a decisive X.A couple hands later, Naalden got himself in a spot of bother, his pocket eights up against Jeff Wagner's pocket aces. But an eight on the turn, and Naalden was right back up to a fairly respectable 21,000.
