Vivek Rajkumar opened with a late-position raise, and Andrew Grimason moved all in for 31,200 from the big blind. Vivek quickly called, and the cards were on their backs:
Rajkumar: 
Grimason: 
The flop was in Grimason's neighborhood as it came down 
to give him some hope with two cards to come. The turn 
wasn't a great card, though, and the 
river was a blank as well.
Grimason's day is done, and Vivek receives a chip increase up to 105,000.
In a massive three-way all-in clash Albert Gardes, Ilkka Koskinen and Noah Schwartz all had their chips in preflop.
Koskinen: 
Schwartz: 
Gardes: 
A rather cruel cooler became a rather brutal beat as the board ran out 
to make Schwartz a full house, kings full of tens, to take it down and send two to the rail. Schwartz is now up to 120,000.
With the board reading 
, Vitaly Lunkin checked it over from the small blind to Noah Boeken on the button who fired 4,000 into the 15,000-chip pot. Lunkin made the call and the hit the river. Both players checked it down.
Lunkin opened 
for the jack-high flush which was good to take it down. Lunkin is up to 61,000 with Boeken having a rough start to the day as he slips to 57,000.

Some of you might be wondering what has happened to our videos as you crave your daily dose of poker news updates from the lovely Gloria Balding, Lynn Gilmartin and Kristy Arnett.
Do not fear! The girls have not gone on holidays! There are a few gremlins in the video software that are far too technical for us to describe, but are preventing new videos from being published. Rest assured that we have the very best people on the task and hope to have our videos pumping again for you very soon.
We were motioned to the table by Humberto Brenes, and we scurried over to see a board of 
spread out and all of Brenes' ~25,000 chips in the middle. "Nuts!" he said, showing up 
for the ace-high flush.
From across the table, Danny Wong said "Real nuts!" He showed us 
for the straight flush, and that's good enough to cooler Brenes right out of here. Wong is up to 55,000 after that timely river card.
Level: 10
Blinds: 500/1,000

Team PokerStars Pros Vanessa Selbst and Noah Boeken have both increased their stacks this afternoon to now sit at around 140,000 which puts them firmly entrenched in our top ten.
PokerStars Team France Pro Thomas Bichon has chipped up a little to sit at around 80,000, while Jason Mercier has also increased his stack slightly to move up to 70,000.
At the bottom end of the leaderboard, Greg Raymer has struggled to get things moving today as he still hovers around the 40,000 chip mark while Humberto Brenes was recently sent to the rail.
On a flop of 
Ross Boatman moved all in for his last 16,400 chips and Chau Giang made the call from late position.
Boatman:
Giang: 
Giang had an overpair and flush draw but would need to improve against Boatman's two pair. The turn was the 
to make a full house for Boatman which remained the winner despite Giang catching his flush on the river.
Giang is back to 71,000 with Boatman doubling to 53,000.
There was about 20,000 in the pot when we walked up to a board showing 
. Paul Marrow was first to act, and he bet 19,500. Chris Bell promptly moved all in for 35,500, and Marrow called saying, "I haven't got anything yet."
Marrow:
Bell: 
The river was a safe 
for Bell, and he's found his double up close to 90,000.
Marrow was left with just bout 15,000 chips, and he lost that remainder on the next hand.
