There are three very different demeanors at each of the tables. Stuart Rutter and Julien Nuijten are chatting amiably. At the moment they're discussing world cup teams in between hands. At the other end of the spectrum, Josh Tieman and Danny Estes are both staring in opposite directions. They haven't made eye contact, said a word, or cracked a smile since they started playing heads up. And somewhere in the middle, Joseph Elpayaa and Cary Katz are not too chatty, but they're not icy toward each other either. Though if I were Elpayaa, I'd be a little worried by the miniature skull Katz is using as a card protector.
On a 
flop, Cary Katz checked, and Joseph Elpayaa bet 8,000. Katz called, then bet 15,000 after the 
on the turn. Elpayaa's turn to call. The river was the , and Katz checked. Elpayaa bet a substantial 43,000, and Katz couldn't have called any faster. He turned up 
for trip treys, a pretty strong heads up hand. Unless your opponent has 
and flopped a boat, of course. Elpayaa scooped the pot with the case three, but he felt his opponent's pain. "That would make me want to shoot myself," he said. He's up to 520,000 while Katz is down to 380,000.
Danny Estes opened to 19,000 with the button and Josh Tieman re-raised to 46,000. Estes called and the flop fell 
.
Tieman led for 54,000 and Estes called.
The turn was the and Tieman checked to Estes who bet 95,000. Tieman folded and Estes raked in the pot.
Here are the standings:
Estes: 510,000 chips
Tieman: 390,000 chips
With the board reading 
, Josh Tieman bet 30,000 and Danny Estes raised to 103,000. Tieman re-raised all-in for over 300,000 and Estes folded.
Tieman's back in the lead with 520,000 chips, Estes has 380,000.
With the blinds only at 4,000/8,000 there is a lot of room for play and no need for panic,
The last few minutes have been very quiet because of this.
We'll keep you posted when the chips start moving.
Stuart Rutter raised to 18,000 on the button and Julien Nuijten called.
Both players checked the 
flop, but after the 
turned Nuijten checked and Rutter bet 20,000. Nuijten check-raised to 64,000 and Rutter called.
The fell on the river, and both players checked again.
Rutter tabled 
, Nuijten mucked and the standings are still even:
Rutter: 445,000 chips
Nuijter: 455,000 chips
