Hollink Halted
Rob Hollink raised from the button, and he called a three-bet from Alex Balandin. Both players took two cards, and Balandin fired out a bet. Hollink raised to 3,800 to get himself all in, and Balandin put him to the test.
Hollink drew one card on each of the last two rounds, but it was to no avail. Balandin stood pat with 
, good enough to send Hollink moseying off through the exit door.
Uchida Slipping On Bubble
Raymond Davis raised and Shunjiro Uchida called. Davis drew one and Uchida drew two. Davis then fired and Uchida called. On the next draw, both players took one card. Davis fired a bet and after some time in the tank, Uchida folded and Davis won the pot, showing that he held the

Eli's Comin' Back
Eli Elezra was all in for 3,200 from the button, and small blind Raymond Davis reraised, successfully isolating himself against the all-in short stack. Davis drew one card the whole way, while Elezra drew one time and stood pat twice.
After the final card was dealt, Elezra turned over , good enough to earn him a much-needed baby double up to 8,400.
Davis still has about 70,000 to work with.

Don't Mess With Him
Jack Link's mascot Sasquatch has been loitering around the Rio for most of the day, shooting a series of commercials for the main WSOP sponsor. There have been tirades with Hellmuth over in the corner, flipping over of poker tables here and there, and a few vicious grunts echoing through the rafters of the Amazon Room this evening.
A crowd of camera men and spectators just came over to the area in front of our event with everyone's eyes fixed one one of the side doors as if the queen was about to make her entrance. Instead, an enormously hairy bipedal humanoid came charging through the doors grunting and flailing his arms around violently.
It's really quite amusing at the moment, if a bit distracting for the players in the immediate vicinity.
