Jeff "yellowsub86" Williams scored a double-up after getting his stack in with

Todd Brunson and Jamie Pickering got into it preflop, and the raising war ended with all of Brunson's ~13,000 chips in the middle. Pickering had him just barely covered, and the cards were on their backs:
Brunson: 
Pickering: 
The board frowned on Brunson as it ran out 
That's no good for Todd, and he has been sent to the rail. Pickering nearly doubles with those chips, and he's up to 28,000.
Martin Kabrhel opened from middle position, Phil Hellmuth called, David Baker called on the button and Tony Cousineau made it 8,000 to go from the small blind. Kabrhel reraised to 14,400, both Hellmuth and Baker folded and Cousineau called all-in.

Kabrehl 
The board ran out 
and Cousineau was eliminated. Kabrehl is the new chip leader with 190,000.
There was already 12,000 in the pot on the river, the board reading 
. Antony Lellouche checked from the small blind and Sorel Mizzi bet 10,800. Lellouche raised to 25,000 straight and Mizzi made the call.
Lellouche turned over 
for tens full of eights and raked in a pot worth more than 62,000. He is up to 81,000 while Mizzi was left with only 3,600 in chips.
Phil Hellmuth told us that he was about to play a pot with 
when his phone rang. It was his parents calling from the rail, so Hellmuth ditched his hand to go chat with the folks. When he returned to the table, the board showed 
, and a player with jack-nine had made a straight on the river. Hellmuth said he would have gone broke in that pot.
On the next hand, Hellmuth played pocket deuces in a heads-up pot. The flop came 
, and Hellmuth was able to stack a player who got it in with queen-jack.
Rather than going broke with queen-trey, Hellmuth has knocked out a player and nearly doubled his way up to 43,000, his high point since joining the field about an hour ago.
We lost him in the sea of familiar faces, but John Juanda has just been broken onto the table directly in front of us. He's got 24,200 chips in front of him, and he's now sitting with Pat Pezzin, Ted Lawson, and chip leader Tom Marchese.
Mike Watson was eliminated when he ran into kicker trouble after turning top pair, his 
up against on a 
board.
The action was folded around to the small blind, who limped in. Shaun Deeb made it 1,200 to go from the big blind and the small blind called. Deeb asked the small blind how much he was playing.
"About 15k," was the response.
The flop came down 
. The small blind checked, Deeb bet 2,200, the small blind shoved and Deeb called.

The turn was the 
, the river was the 
, and Deeb's top pair held up to eliminate his opponent and take his stack up to 48,000.
