Nice Guys Finish Last
Ain't it the truth?
Chad Batista raised to 450 from early position and a player in middle position moved all in for 2,500. Action folded back to Batista who paused for a second.
"You're a nice guy," Batista said before calling.
Showdown
Batista: 
Nice Guy: 
The 
gave Batista's opponent counterfeit outs and the 
on the turn brought even more outs. The river bricked however and Batista KO'd the nice guy, chipping up to 15,000.
Phil Gordon Looking To Get KO'd?
Phil Gordon recently lost a big pot when his 
was dominated by his opponent's 
. Upon seeing that he wasn't totally out of chips, Gordon said "Hurry and bust me so I can catch my plane."
One of the other players at his table jokingly replied, "What chapter of your book is that in?"
Recent Eliminations
Brett Jungblut and Ben Fineman have gone missing in action and since their tables haven't broke we unfortunately have to assume they've been eliminated.
Every Chip Matters
The big stack over at Isaac Haxton's table had raised to 500 from middle position with Haxton following up with a three-bet to 1,500 in the cutoff. When action folded around to the original raiser he made the call.
The flop came 
with Haxton's opponent checking. When Haxton fired in a bet of 1,500, his opponent tossed his cards away to end the hand.
Lind Trending Up
George Lind opened to 475 from the cutoff and a player in the small blind three-bet to 1,600. Lind made the call.
Both players checked the 
flop and the turn. The player in the big blind checked a third time after the 
rivered and Lind bet 1,500. His opponent folded and he raked in the pot.
Lind is now up to 8,600 chips.
Vamo Brasil
With the board reading 
, Maria "Maridu" Mayrinck bet 650 and Jesse James raised to 2,500. Maridu moved all in for 4,300 and James made the call.
Showdown
Mayrinck: 
James: 
The 
on the turn filled Maridu up and all James could hope for was a chop. A queen did not come on the river, rather it was the doubling Maridu to 9,500 chips.
James was left with only a few thousand and busted soon after.
Batista Loses Some Momentum
Chad Batista was in the big blind when he called a raise to 600 from a player in middle position. On a flop of 
there was some back and forth betting that resulted in his opponent's entire stack of about 4,500 getting in the middle.
Batista: 
Opponent:
Batista was outkicked and failed to improve on the turn or the river. He looked frustrated with how the hand went down and left his chair. He's still doing ok, though. Right now he is sitting on a stack of about 24,500.
