Darnaby Shows the Goods
Hold'em
James Darnaby raised from the cutoff position and got his only call from Cydney Violette. The two saw a flop of 
. When Violette checked, Darnaby fired out a bet, with Violette opting to fold.
Once Violette's cards were in the muck, Darnaby showed the 
and asked if it was good. Violette said, "I had one of those, too." At that point, Darnaby showed his other card, the

Down Goes Durrrr
Hold'em
We didn't see the hand. We only saw the result -- Tom Dwan walking away from the tournament floor, payout slip in hand. Looks like he won't be shipping a bracelet in Event 31.
Reslock Nearly Triples
Hold'em
As can be expected, a lot of the shorter stacks are getting all their chips in the middle now that our bubble has burst. Ming Reslock was one of those players, and things weren't looking good for her until she hit a runner-runner flush against Don Zewin.
The pot was original three-handed, with Ming raising, Jeff Shulman re-raising and Zewin four-betting.
All three players saw a flop of 
. Zewin bet from the big blind and Reslock raised all in. Shulman thought about his options for a while before folding, with Zewin making the call.
Reslock: 
Zewin: 
Zewin was happy with how things were looking to shape up, but his happiness faded when the 
on the turn and the the 
on the river gave Reslock a full house.
Hunt Begins Again
Stud 8/b
Dwan: / 
/ (X)
Hunt: 
/ 
/ (X)
Tom Dwan is warily circling today, looking for spots where he can pick off chips from his opponents. He must have thought he was in a great spot against Thomas Hunt. At sixth street, "durrrr" was showing two open kings. He bet and Hunt, with two open fives, raised, leaving himself 500 chips behind. Dwan re-raised and Hunt called, getting all the chips in. It looked to be a chop, as Dwan had kings and queens for high and Hunt had a pair of fives and a made low. But Hunt also had a freeroll to a straight, a card which came in when Hunt drew the 
river. Dwan didn't fill up, and as a result Hunt dragged the whole pot.
Dwan still has 40,000. Hunt doubled up to 30,000.

Pop?
We heard the floor staff call for all dealers to complete the hand they were on and then wait. The next announcement we heard was that the tournament was in the money. It seems that we didn't deal a single hand of hand-for-hand play.
So that's 80 happy players. We're doing our best to clean up the counts so we can figure out exactly who's still here and who isn't.
Wrong Game, Bax!
Stud 8/b
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Someone was playing the wrong game. Cliff Josephy got to the river with George Lind and was facing a bet. He shook his head.
"I'll be honest with you," he said. "I didn't realize we were playing Stud Eight." In fact, it was the second hand of Stud Hi/Lo for that round. Josephy eventually did call with a pair of kings, which got the high half against Lind's low.
"I hate to think what I folded last hand," said Josephy.
Bubble Time
In the first 40 minutes of post-dinner play, two full tables have broken. The tournament has 86 remaining players, with 80 getting paid. Expect things to tighten up for a while until we get through the money bubble.
Cantu Can Do
Razz
Brandon Cantu: 5-7-4 / 3-5-3-2
Jeffrey Tunkel : 6-4-k / 6-10-8-A
We arrived on fifth street to see Brandon Cantu making a bet with Jeffrey Tunkel calling. When Tunkel hit an ace on sixth street he went all in and Cantu made the call. Tunkel was behind and failed to catch up. As Tunkel headed to the rail, Cantu skipped away to watch the closing minutes of the basketball game.
