J.C. Alvarado is sitting on Antonio Esfandiari's left at the moment. Sitting on Antonio Esfandiari's left guarantees a couple of things for a player. One, you're going to be facing numerous raises with which to contend. Also, you will be contending with various suggestions for prop bets, too.
Just now the suggestion from Esfandiari had to do with the question of which was the better film -- Braveheart or Pulp Fiction. Esfandiari favored Braveheart, while Alvarado rated the Tarantino film higher.
The prop bet had to do with predicting which film the majority of players sitting in seat 5 at three randomly-selected tables would prefer. Before they got to terms, Alvarado resisted engaging in the bet, claiming he never won any such gambles.
Alvarado does win some gambles, though, as he just now knocked out Arnold Spee to chip up to 150,000. Esfandiari is sitting with 215,000.

Sorry, buddy
Facing a lead bet from his opponent on a flop, Scott Neuman moved all in for his remaining 71,000 from the button and was insta-called. Though Neuman held the lead on the flop with against his opponent's , the turn came the and the river the to make him a nine-high straight, snapping off Neuman's queens and eliminating him from the Main Event... though he didn't realize it at first.
"Oh, God it's a straight to his nine!" Neuman said, practically growling. Seizing a stack of chips in each hand, he slammed them into the middle of the table before walking away.

We caught up with Isaac Baron on the flop. The gent in the big blind checked to him, Baron bet 12,000, and the big blind called.
Both players checked the turn, and the big blind check-called another 27,000 from Baron on the river. Baron turned over for two pair, kings and queens -- but the big blind turned over to pip him, and Baron is down to 218,000.

On a board of Owen Crowe bet 55,000 from the big blind and a player under the gun made the call.
The river brought the and Crowe fired again, this time for 100,000. His opponent thought for only a short time before making the call.
Crowe frowned, saying "Pair of threes" and his opponennt tabled . Crowe, both impressed and crushed by his opponent's read said, "Nice call." A careful observer could see emotion taking control, as Crowe restacked his chips with shaky hands.
Owen Crowe has dropped more than half his stack since he shot up past the million chip mark. He currently has 410,000.

Before the flop, Jordan Rich opened with a middle position raise and got three callers. The flop came . The big blind checked, Rich bet 14,000, the cutoff folded, the button called, then the big blind check-raised to 32,000. Rich responded by pushing all in for about 120,000 more. The button folded, and Rich's opponent went into deep-think mode.
After rechecking his cards and counting out his stack, Rich's opponent stood up and looked intently at Rich for about a minute. "Don't stare at me," said Rich. Finally his opponent sat down and folded.

The Vitallian Stallion!
Seat one opens the action to 8,000. Vitaly Lunkin then goes all in for 38,900. The next player to act thinks for a minute before flat calling. Back around to the original raiser who then goes all in, the flatter insta-calls. IGNITION!
The flatter shows , Seat one (the original raiser) shows . Mr Lunkin then tables his powerhouse . Lets run 'em!
The flop came and the aces were still looking good. The turn was the giving Lunkin a double gutshot straight draw. Some "oooh's" and "ahhh's" came from the crowd that had gathered around the table. Then like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, the hit the river giving Lunkin the ten high straight.
Lunkin triples up to over 130,000 and is all smiles.
