Darryll Fish made it 2,000 to go from middle position and was called by the player in the big blind.
The flop came down 
. It was checked to Fish, who checked his cards one more time before tossing in a bet of 2,800. It was uncontested and Fish took the pot.
The seat formerly occupied by reigning EPT Grand Final champion Nicolas Chouity is now filled with one Dan Heimiller instead. We would guess that Chouity is therefore bust.
The flop was 
.
Men Nguyen was heads up with another player at the table. It was checked to Nguyen who made it 11,400, which would have effectively put his opponent all in.
The player would not be putting his tournament life on the line this time, as he folded.
The tournament staff are doing their very best, but we suspect no-one really expected this event to come back with this many players and the guys in suits are rather thin on the ground.
"Seat open on 372!" one dealer was crying for five or ten minutes before the floor arrived, "Six-handed!" He was still dealing but looking increasingly desperate for the floor's attention. Eventually the floor arrived and some new players were seated at the table. We think it may have just taken that long for them to come over here from way over in the orange section.
We're not sure if these two things are connected, but Jared Hamby has mysteriously vanished and been replaced by another player, while Tyler Cornell is up to 100,000.
Mr. Andrew Boccia started the day on 34,500, but he's now down to 30,500 after filing to turn up and being blinded off for a few rounds.
We hope he's OK.
Allen Kessler is now at around triple the stack he started the day on, but that's only about 7,000 and he remains in shoving mode. He has yet to get a call since that very early double up, but if he keeps it up then it's just a matter of time.
The player in the cutoff opened for 2,000. On the button, Brian Paris made it 5,300. The cutoff made it 25,000 leaving 2,000 behind. Paris moved all in and the player in the cutoff made the call.
Cutoff: 
Paris: 
The board rolled out 
giving Paris the double up to 60,000.
Victor Ramdin opened for 2,400 in mid position and a gentleman in late position pushed for 11,200. Ramdin made the call, and they were on their backs.
Their somewhat less than premium hands:
Late Position Gentleman: 
Ramdin: 
Board: 
The late-position gent became just late, as in dead, although only in a tournament sense. Ramdin moved up to 47,000.
We caught the action on the river of the 
board, with a gentleman in mid-position snap-shoving for 40,000 into a 60,000 pot. Thien Nguyen in the cutoff tanked up for a long, long time, and then called, turning over 
for a straight. His opponent was furious.
"Nice slowroll," he said, flashing 
before storming off.
Nguyen raked in the huge pot, and it turned out it wasn't really a slowroll - he'd really been concerned that his opponent could had been holding 
for the higher straight. More of a nitroll, perhaps.
Either way, Nguyen is up to 165,000 and if he's not actually our chip leader right now, he can't be far off.
