. The board read

. Deeb held

The 
on the turn was clean, but the 
on the river gave Deeb's opponent a better hand eliminating him from the tournament.
Whilst the rail around Phil Ivey was heaving earlier today, little will they have known that just two tables down sat a man who'd won almost as many bracelets. In fact, if I asked everyone in this building I'd imagine only a small percentage would be able to put a name to the face. But, with six bracelets, Jay Heimowitz is someone who certainly deserves our respect, and I bet he would have a few stories to tell about how Vegas 'used to be'.
Today, Heimowitz is after bracelet number seven, and with 32,000 he could well be in with a chance. On the very last hand before the break, Heimowitz was involved in a monstrous pot which saw four separate stacks find their way into the middle. I joined the table late, but fortunately Paul Parker was at hand to describe the action, and it was so frantic that it would be best served in list format:
Seat 8 raised.
Seat 9 (Heimowitz) called
Seat 2 reraised
Seat 3 (Charles Alexandre Sylvestre) called
Seat 4 (Jeff Banghart) re-reraised
Seat 8 folded
Heimowitz called
Seat 2 called all in
Seat 3 called
Phew.
Flop: 
The flop was a rather more simple affair, Banghart announcing all-in and Sylvestre making the call, albeit with a sigh. Either way, we finally had a showdown:
Seat 2: Didn't show
Sylvestre: 
Banghart: 
Heimowitz: 
The turn and river meant three things:
(1) Seat 2 and Banghart were eliminated.
(2) Sylvestre and Banghart chopped the pot
(3) Sylvestre is now one of the chip leaders with 51,500 and heads into the dinner break with a smile that would take a crowbar and a tub of Vaseline to remove.
Six levels are in the books and that means it's time for dinner.
Good luck in credit card roulette!

James Akenhead is turning into a chip magnet.
He opened to 900 from middle position and a player behind him three-bet to 2,500. A short-stacked player moved all in for 8,125 and Akenhead went deep into the tank. He was eying the player who three-bet him.
"You want to play a big pot?" Akenhead asked him.
The player shrugged.
Akenhead thought for a bit longer and then double-fisted three stacks of 20 T500 chips into the middle and slammed an extra few on top making it 32,000 to go. His opponent folded, and he had the shorty at risk:
Showdown
Akenhead: 
Shorty: 
"I don't even want to see this," the short-stacked player muttered.
The flop was far from an eye soar though, it fell 
giving him top set. Akenhead had backdoor draws though and the 
on the turn kept them alive.
The very second the spiked on the river, Akenhead's opponent was on the other side of the rail. He forgot his phone though, and sheepishly returned to grab it.
Akenhead's straight gave him not only the winning hand, but a 59,000-chip stack as well.
In an unopened pot, Team PokerStars Pro Arnaud Mattern and former bracelet winner Blair Rodman (big blind) were two of three players to see a flop of .
The action was checked through to the 
turn where Rodman led out for 700. Mattern called and the other player stepped out of the way.
On the 
river, Rodman bet 1,000, only for Mattern to raise to 5,300. Rodman took one look down at his chips and pushed in for a total of 5,400. Although it was only 100 more to call, Mattern folded, perhaps so that he didn't have to show his hand, but also signifying that he had his hand, foot and just about every body part caught in the cookie jar.
Either way, Rodman picked up the pot and now has just under the 15,000 mark.
Terrence Chan has doubled up courtesy of the Dude (a name our field reporter likes to give to unknown players) and is now on 21,350 as a result. All the action occurred preflop, Chan limping UTG, the Dude raising to 1,100 from UTG+1, Chan reraising to 4,500, the Dude moving all in, and Chan making the call.
