Familiar faces prevailed in the voting and six of those 20 are still sitting behind chip stacks in our $10K limit hold'em field-- Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Chris Ferguson, Barry Greenstein, and Jennifer Harman.
Steve Chanthabouasy raised under the gun, and Bill Chen made it three bets in position.
Off the two men went to a flop of 
, and Chanthabouasy check-raised a Chen bet. Both players put in two small bets apiece leading to the 
on fourth street. Chen flat-called a full bet there, and another one on the 
river.
At showdown, Chanthabouasy showed 
for second pair, and Chen stared at it for a moment to make sure before flipping over his winning 
. Chen was nodding vigorously as the dealer pushed him the pot, moving his stack up to about 72,000.
We joined the action on the flop as the dealer put down 
. Phil Hellmuth was heads up, and he led out with a bet. Vladimir Schmelev bumped it up to two bets, and Hellmuth said, "All right, you get to bust me," as he reraised for most of his remaining chips. Schmelev called.
That brought them to the 
turn, and Hellmuth checked. Schmelev bet, and Hellmuth tanked before raising all in with 
. Schmelev quickly called the extra couple thousand, and he tabled the nuts, 
.
Hellmuth was drawing dead, and he was already heading out the door mumbling, "Some brilliant f***ing players here," as the dealer filled out the board with the

Hellmuth has left the building, and Schmelev is up to 111,000.
Maria Ho opened for a raise from UTG and Todd Brunson defended his big blind.
Brunson check-called Ho's bet on the

Pat Walsh fired out a dark bet as we walked up to a flop of 
, and Isaac Haxton put in the flat call.
Walsh check-called a bet on the 
turn, and one more time on the
