Sirous Jamshidi opened to 6,000 and both Yan Chen and George Lind made the call.
All three players drew one, but it would be a 15,000-chip bet from Chen that would be enough to take the pot down.
Unfortunately for Jamshidi, he is one of the tournament short stacks at the moment with just 25,000 in chips and will be looking to gather some momentum soon if he is to add to his previous nine WSOP cashes; one of which is from this year.
We caught up to the end of a big hand between Andy Black and David Baker.
Black was all in, and had a -X-X hand in front of him in defense of his tourney life. But David Baker had the -- the Number One -- against which Black's hand could not compete.
Black is out, while Baker now has a whopping 240,000.
A lot of people -- players, media, dealers, staff -- are spending many, many hours in the Amazon and Pavilion ballrooms this summer. Generally speaking, the conditions are quite pleasant, although some have commented on the temperatures being perhaps a tad chilly at times. Of course, with highs in the triple-digits outdoors (as we've had in Vegas of late), it is always going to seem a bit cool inside the Rio.
In any case, the Amazon Room is perhaps a bit on the cool side today. At least players in our event came prepared.
Farzad Bonyadi -- one of the many decorated players in this event with three WSOP bracelets (including one in Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw) -- has just been eliminated.
In his final hand, Bonyadi pushed all in from UTG for his last 16,900 and got called by Doug Booth on the button. Bonyadi chose to give back one of his cards, and Booth chose to stick with the five he'd been dealt.
Booth showed . Bonyadi tabled his original cards -- -- and hoped to see something good when he looked at his new fifth one. Alas, it was the , and Bonyadi hits the rail.
John Monnette opened to 5,400 from the cutoff only to have Tom Dwan three-bet all in.
Monnette made the call for his 49,700 total and drew one to his .
Dwan stood pat with his , but unfortunately would see Monnette catch the to stay alive and double to 105,000 as Dwan was left crippled with just 11,000.
The following hand however, Dwan moved all in from the small blind and Peter Gould made the call.
Dwan stood pat with his while Gould drew one catching the to pair his .
Gould slips to 75,000 while Dwan climbs back to 28,000 in chips.
Mike Wattel pushed all in for about 15,000 from under the gun, Eric Kesselman called from the button, and Sirous Jamshidi called as well from the big blind, committing his last 13,600 as he did.
Jamshidi and Wattel each drew one card, while Kesselman stood pat. Cards on their backs:
Jamshidi
Wattel
Kesselman
The drawn king meant Wattel's day was done. Jamshidi survives with 48,000. And Kesselman now sits with 155,000.
We're back from the dinner break. Sometimes it takes a player a hand or two to get back into the mindset of the game. Sometimes it takes dealers a hand to settle back into the game, too.
On the first hand back over at George Danzer and Tom Dwan's table, the dealer had made the usual circuit around the table five times. Then, having lost track, he continued to deal a sixth round. After a couple of cards had been dealt on the extra round, the players alerted the dealer to his mistake, and a misdeal was declared.
Interestingly, Dwan in the small blind showed that with his first five cards he'd been dealt a pat 10. Meanwhile, Danzer (on the button) showed he had been dealt a pat 9.
