Tom Dwan had some chips when he left for the dinner break, but he got rid of them extremely quickly upon his return. It looks as though the young phenom will have to wait until at least tomorrow to work towards his first bracelet.
Men "The Master" Nguyen has amassed a large collection of chips, but just lost a good chunk of them to another player at his table.
Men Nguyen: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Nick Frangos: (X) (X) / 
Seat 3: 
/ 
/ 
Nguyen completed to get things started and got called by both Frangos and the player in Seat 3. Nguyen led out with bets in streets four and five and was called by both players. On sixth street, Frangos folded to a bet from the Seat 3 player, but Nguyen opted to stick around. Nguyen called one more bet on seventh street, but was no good against his opponent's queen-high straight.

Bronstein: (X) (X) /

Alan Boston is one of the old-school stud players, a guy who has been playing stud for years and years. Yuval Bronstein comes from the new school. When old school met new school interesting results occurred.
Boston completed on third street and was called by one opponent before Bronstein raised. Both Boston and the third player called the raise to fourth street. The third player had the best board and led out with a bet that Bronstein promptly raised.
"Queen-five," said Boston, pointing at his board. "Cribbage hand."
"I used to play cribbage when I was younger," remarked Amnon Filippi. "I haven't played in so long I forgot how."
Boston eventually called the raise, as did the third player. That player checked fifth street, then folded after Bronstein bet and Boston called. Boston took over the betting lead on sixth street. He check-called one bet, then checked again on the river. Bronstein checked behind and tabled 
for a pair of aces.
"I'll let you know in a second," Boston said. He squeezed his last card, then turned up a diamond flush, 
. Filippi seemed surprised that Boston hadn't bet his hand.
"I was going for a check-raise," said Boston. "I checked blind. I'm used to old-school stud. No one is ever checking two aces on the river. Ever. Unless he knew I had a four-flush, which is hard to picture."
Regardless, Boston collected the pot.
Daniel Negreanu is telling stories from back in the ay of players who would over-sell their action. He specifically mentioned a player in Los Angeles who would triple sell his action in a $1,000 tournament. But then on top of that, he'd get a stack and swap 5% with other people in the tournament. Then he'd dump his whole stack and have a 5% freeroll with $2,000 in his pocket.
Negreanu lso mentioned a story about Eskimo Clark in which Eskimo Clark made a final table. People sweating him started talking to each other. They discovered that one guy had a third, another had a third, and another had a half! Despite overselling his action, Clark made the final table. Whatever money he took down, he promised to pay back the rest of the over-sold action to his backers.
We doubt there's anyone in this tournament who oversold his action, but certainly some of the players in this tournament are sweating others.
Shawn Buchanan: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Abe Mosseri: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
With the showing, Mosseri, completed on third street and called Buchanan's raise. Mosseri would go on to call bets on fourth and fifth street before the pair decided to check their way through sixth street. Mosseri had no more call left in him on seventh street and folded to Buchanan's bet.
Annie Duke has gone missing. In a field of old men, it's hard to miss a woman. Duke's table hasn't broken and her seat is empty, so we can only assume she's out.
Kirk Morrison has a grin on hi face, but his chip stack is one of the shortest in the tournament right now, with about only 6,000.
Harman: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Opponent: (X) (X) / / (X)
At the river, Jen Harman's opponent led with his open aces. Harman raised, then stared silently at the felt. Her opponent thought it over a long time before calling. Harman opened a full house with 
. Harman's got about 40,000 now.
Alexander Kostritsyn:

/ (X)
Andrew Black: / 
/ (X)
Alexander Kostritsyn didn't do anything other than call his way through six rounds of betting on this last hand, but it was good enough to win the pot against Black. We didn't catch the last cards dealt out, but they were better than Black's, as the Irishman mucked his cards and gave up the pot.

Ivan Schertzer came in sixth place in this event last year, but he won't be fortunate enough to make a repeat performance. He lost the bulk of his chips to Michael Mizrachi, and was busted shortly after.
