Phil Ivey raised from late position and got an all-in re-raise from Paul Evans. Evans didn't have quite enough to make a complete raise, and Ivey made the call.
Evans: 
Ivey: 
Ivey had a lot of catching up to do, and he wasn't able to do so when the board ran 
. Evans just got himself a better chance of making the bubble.

Four players battled their way into a four-bet pot preflop, and they all found themselves looking down at a 
flop. The action went as follows:
James Metcalf (big blind) - bet
Kenny Hsiung (under the gun) - raise
Malissia Zapata - fold
Daivd Cairns - reraise
Metcalf - call
Hsiung - cap
Cairns - call
Metcalf - call
That's an awful lot of action, isn't it?
So they saw a 
turn and Metcalf checked. Hsiung bet again and both players called. The action was the same on the 
river.
So, showdown time.
Metcalf: 
for an overpair
Hsiung: 
for a set of nines
Cairns: 
for a set of tens
With that enormous pot, Cairns broke the magic 100,000 mark - he's at 104,800.
Our chip leader as we approach the bubble is Kirk Banks, on 111,000.
John Lynch and Terrence Chan made it to a 
flop and Lynch bet out. Chan, without even looking up from his sci-fi novel, made what may be the smoothest and most nonchalant raise that has ever been seen at the WSOP. Lynch called all in, and Chan didn't even look up until all the cards were on the table.
Lynch: 
Chan: dominating with 
Turn: not a jack but
River: 
, not a jack either
Lynch was eliminated, and Chan kept both his cool and Lynch's chips.
Qinghai Pan only had 2,600 left when he raised all in from the cutoff. His only taker was the big blind, who didn't even bother looking at his cards.
Pan turned up , and his opponent turned over one card, exposing the and then slowly looked at his next card. It was, much to Pan's disappointment, the 
.
A little bit of hope appeared for Pan in the form of a 
, but he didn't get the last bit of help he needed with the on the turn or the on the river.
Level: 14

Ante:
Jameson Painter check-called bets from Jonathan Tamayo on the 
flop and the turn. Both players checked the river, and Tamayo tabled 
, only to find that Painter's 
had made a four flush. Ouch.
So now, with Tamayo severely short-stacked on the official bubble, Shawn Buchanan raised in the cutoff and Tamayo reraised all in from the small blind.
On their backs.
Tamayo: 
Buchanan: 
Board:
Neither player hit a thing, and Tamayo stood up. He had to wait until all hands were complete at the other tables, though, to ascertain that he was in fact the bubble. He took the news well, with a gentlemanly smile.
"Min-cash can suck my **** anyways," he said cheerfully. "Good luck guys!"
As we head into the money, it looks as though Jameson Painter - our chip leader at the start of the day - is back in the lead on 145,000.
Erik Lopez got his very last in preflop with 
and found himself in exceptionally poor shape against Malissia Zapata's 
.
Though his tablemates, thoroughly enjoying themselves, did their best to call for the outdraw, the aces held up on the 
board and Lopez was eliminated. The extremely cheerful Zapata bumped her stack up a little, to a still pretty short 20,000.
