Tom Dwan was very interested in finding out which table Phil Ivey's at. That may be because things aren't going well for Dwan at his own table. He's down to 3,250 after tangling with Veronica Dabul. Dabul was in the big blind and called Dwan's pre-flop raise from the cutoff. She then checked to "durrrr", who bet 725 on a flop of 
. Dwan insta-mucked the moment that Dabul raised to 2,500.
Dabul is up to 25,500.
David Cairns opened the pot with an early-position raise, and John Phan moved all in for 2,250. Cairns called, and over went the cards:
Cairns: 
Phan: 
Board: 
.
That's pretty useless for Phan, and he and his ace-ten have both been mucked. Cairns is up to 19,500 courtesy of that little knockout pot, but the better news is that he's rid himself and the rest of his table of "The Razor".
Chris Moneymaker, who now has to contend with Phil Ivey on his right, made a lead of 1,100 on a flop of 
. The button player was the only other opponent in the hand. That player raised all in for 5,000 total. Moneymaker quickly called with 
, a set of queens, and found himself up against a naked flush draw, 
. The 
that hit the turn filled Moneymaker's opponent's flush, and the 
river did not pair the board.
That hand pushed Moneymaker down to 17,000. A few hands later he rivered a small set, 
, after he and his opponent checked the turn. Moneymaker's 2,000-chip bet with was quickly called by his opponent, who had flopped a set of tens with .
Moneymaker still has 12,500 to work with.
Chris Ferguson was in position for a heads-up flop of 
. After his opponent checked, Ferguson took his usual deliberate time to also check. The turn was the and brought a bet of 1,600 from Ferguson's opponent. Ferguson maintained his stoic visage before calling.
The river came 
. Ferguson's opponent checked, then called a bet of 2,100. Ferguson opened for top pair; it was most certainly no good against his opponent's flopped set of jacks, . Ferguson is down to 8,000 as a result.
James "mig.com" Mackey was all in for his last 3,000 chips with 
, and he ran it into the of Chan Ping.
The board of ran down pretty uselessly for Mackey, and he's been given the rest of the day off. Ping is at 13,800 for his fans keeping score at home.
Level: 5
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 25
Just before the break, Allen Cunningham opened for 500 pre-flop and was called by Dan Smith from the button. They both checked a flop of 
. On the turn 
, Cunningham bet 1,300 and Smith called. The river was a third spade, the . Cunningham bet 3,000, then was faced with a tough decision when Smith moved all in for 9,500 total. Cunningham thought for quite some time, as player were starting to leave on break, before he called. Smith showed the nut flush, , and Cunningham mucked. Smith now has about 23,000 in chips.
Hey! Break time! See you back in 20 minutes.
Antonio Esfandiari was all in for his last 5,800 before the flop with . Rodrigo Portaleone looked him up with , and The Magician seemed content to race for double or nothing in this spot.
He was, however, not so content with the board of 
. That gave Portaleone the winning set of jacks, moving him up to 17,000 and sending Esfandiari meandering toward the exit.
As he left, his table was chatting with Tom "durrrr" Dwan about an unusual bank robbery hypothetical he has been throwing around. This is the first we've heard of it as well, but it sounds like Esfandiari, durrrr, and Allen Cunningham are involved in an ongoing discussion about the likelihood the three of them could successfully rob a bank with one year to plan the heist.
"Durrrr thinks it's 87%!" Esfandiari yelled as he walked away. "What a fish cake!"
We walked up to the table to see a board of spread out, and about 8,500 chips in the pot. Vanessa Rousso had checked, and Dmitry Motorov had moved all in for 8,000, enough to cover Rousso. She was in the tank when we spotted the hand in progress.
After a couple minutes of thinking it over, Rousso asked, "Where are you from?" but her opponent didn't respond. Finally, she tossed her last 5,000 into the pot to put herself at risk.
Motorov showed her for the full-house-turned-quads. "Is that all?" Rousso asked, flinging her cards into the muck. "Did you know that I had jacks or no?" She stood up from the table and gathered her things.
Motorov finally spoke: "I'm from Russia," was the only thing he said, and Rousso headed for the rail.
