The players are now taking another twenty-minute break, during which the green 25-denomination chips will be colored up and raced off.
666 Spells Doom for Deeb
On a 
flop, Shaun Deeb faced a 3,700 bet. He raised to 15,050 and a second opponent came over the top for 36,000. Deeb set out a huge stack of his large-denomination chips, setting the reraiser all-in. He made the call.

The turn was the 
, but the river was the 
and Deeb shipped the vast majority of his stack across the table.
Freddy More Than Doubles
Ryan Fair moved all in for his last 15,000 chips before Freddy Deeb came over the top for his 42,000-chip stack. David Paredes had them both covered and he made the call to attempt to bust two players.
Fair: 
Deeb: 
Paredes: 
The board was spread 
and Deeb's pair held up to more than double up to 105,000. Paredes slips to 127,000 with Fair hitting the rail.
Seiver Sucks Out On Carroll
The hijack seat began the action by raising to 1,500 and then Cory Carroll reraised to 4,300 in the cutoff position. Scott Seiver four-bet to 10,200 from the big blind and action folded back to Carroll. He five-bet to 25,000 before Seiver shoved in. Carroll called.
Seiver held the 
, but was behind the 
for Carroll.
The flop was clean as far as Carroll was concerned, coming down 
. The turn was a dagger though, with the spiking down. Carroll did have a spade draw along with two more kings to win the hand on the river, but the just wouldn't do it and he was eliminated. Seiver boosted his stack to 167,000 in chips.
Big Pot For Just Ace-High
We arrived at the table with the board reading 
and what we assume was a raise from Sorel Mizzi of an additional 45,000 over the top of a bet from Scott Montgomery.
It didn't take long for Montgomery to respond by moving all in for roughly 19,000 more with Mizzi making the pot-committed call.
Montgomery: 
Mizzi: 
We were expecting to see some big hands but it was ace-high versus jack-high as both players were drawing!
Mizzi needed a non-club jack or ten to win it, or a non-club five to chop, but the river bricked the 
as Montgomery took down the huge pot with just ace-high.
Mizzi slips to 130,000 as Montgomery is now up to 180,000.
David Benyamine Eliminated
Eugene Katchalov opened for 1,500 in the cutoff and Aaron "aejones" Jones three-bet to 4,200 on the button. David Benyamine shoved for 32,000 from the small blind, Katchalov re-shoved behind him and Jones let his hand go.

Katchalov flopped top set on the 
board and sent Benyamine to the rail. He's up to 115,000.
OMG a Straight
Same table, but no one ran to the bathroom during this hand.
With the board reading 
on the turn, Juha Helppi checked to Phil Galfond, who bet 12,000. Helppi called. The river was the and Helppi check-called Galfond's 27,000 bet.
Galfond showed 
for the rivered straight and took his stack back up to 108,000. Helppi was left with 29,000.
Wong Doubles Through Demjan
All of the money went in on the flop of 
between Danny Wong and Sandor Demjan. Wong checked, Demjan bet, Wong moved all in for 30,000 and Demjan called.
Demjan had flopped a flush with the and Wong held the .
The turn brought the 
and gave Wong the nut flush. The river was the 
.
Wong doubled to about 70,000 and Demjan dropped to 133,000.
Begley Bluffs in the Clutch
On the turn, with the board reading 
, Tim Begley fired a bet of roughly 17,000 and was called by Roberto Romanello. The river completed the board with the and Begley jammed about 35,000. Romanello tanked for ages before eventually mucking his hand. Begley showed the 
for air after missing some draws and moved to 85,000 in chips.
