Medic!
Unfortunately we missed the hand, but Nenad Medic just won a huge pot on Table 3.
There were four players in the hand and one player all in. The board read 
and Medic had the best of it with 
for a flopped straight.
"I can't believe nobody had diamonds," one player kept saying.
Medic is sure glad no one had diamonds because with that 60,000-chip pot he is now in contention for the chip lead with 103,600.
Time to Go for Tomko
We didn't see the hand, but we do know that Dewey Tomko has been eliminated from today's event. Huey and Louie are also out.
The End for Eastender
Thespian and former Eastenders star Michael Greco reached a 
flop with Yuval Bronstein where Greco led for 4,400, leaving himself 4,100 behind. Bronstein made the call, but then dwelt unexpectedly when Greco moved in his remaining chips on the turn.
Eventually, Bronstein made the call, showing 
for the nut flush draw. Greco had 
.
I didn't catch the river (although I sense it was a third heart) as there were two hands occurring simultaneously on separate tables, but it favoured Bronstein who added almost apologetically, "I had just about the right price to call." "You had to call," replied Greco sincerely. "You're hitting everything."
Burkholder Doubles Opponent
In a very confusing hand, Steve "pikappraider" Burkholder has doubled an opponent at his table.
The pot was raised preflop and three players saw a flop of . A player in the blinds checked and the dealer thought the next player checked as well so he signaled to Burkholder that it was his turn to act.
Burkholder bet 2,200 and the player who was skipped appealed the bet. The floor was called over and ruled that since Burkholder was prompted by the dealer that the bet can be pulled back and that the action is on the player whose been skipped.
The player moved all in for 2,500 and Burkholder quickly called. The player in the blinds folded and the hands were tabled.
Showdown
Burkholder: 
Opponent: 
The aces held after the turn and river came 
, respectively and Burkholder's opponent doubled through.
Burkholder is still plenty healthy with 40,000 chips.
Montgomery the "Monkey"
After a series of preflop raises, Scott Montgomery had an opposing player all in and the hands were tabled:
Showdown
Montgomery: 
Opponent:
The board ran 
and Montgomery made a flush to eliminate his opponent.
While the dealer was verifying the elimination, Montgomery's opponent angrily knocked over his last few thousand chips and stormed off.
"I always bust the d*****bags," Montgomery told us. "The last guy called me a f***ing monkey."
Montgomery is always needling for a bit of fun and is all smiles with 50,000 chips.
Costa Excels
Peter Costa's stack has been increasing faster than Michael Mizrachi's bank account recently. Even at the start of this hand he had over 50,000. I joined the action on the turn of a 
, Costa leading out for 3,700 and Jason Potter making the call.
The river was the 
. Costa, with his hoodie wrapped around his head like a 21-year old online pro, held out his hands to block his view of the board. "I don't want to see," he announced. "Let me know when it's my go."
Potter, as meticulous as ever, carefully mulled over his decision before sliding a stack of blue 500 chips across the felt, which accounted for a pot bet of 11,300.
"Has he checked yet?" asked Costa, his eyes fixated on the felt immediately before him. When he realised the decision rested upon his shoulders, things got serious, and Costa pitched up tent in the think tank.
After a while, Potter called the clock and the floor was summoned, but before a countdown was reached, Costa made the call. "You're good," said Potter revealing pocket kings. Costa showed ".
