Hoss Not Out of it Just Yet
When we last saw Matt Hawrilenko, he was down to just 1,300 in chips. He had chipped up a bit since we left when a player in middle position raised. Another player called before Hawrilenko raised from the button. Both players called as they saw a 
flop which was checked to Hawrilenko who led out. The original preflop raiser made it two bets as the other player got out of the way and Hawrilenko called. The preflop raiser bet on the 
turn and got raised by Hawrilenko. He called the raise as well as Hawrilenko’s bet on the 
river. Hawrilenko turned over 
for top boat and raked in the pot.

Staying Awake is Sometimes Harder than Getting Chips
Level 5
: 125/250, 0 ante
Its only 10:00pm here in the Amazon room, but it is easy to see the level of exhaustion on player's faces. Barry Greenstein along with a handful of others can be caught catnapping in between hands.
We still have three crucial levels to go tonight, hopefully these players can pull through.
Ho in Control
A player in late position raised and Maria Ho called from the big blind. On the 
flop, Ho check-raised her opponent who called. On the 
turn, Ho check again but this time only called her opponent’s bet. Both players checked 
on the river and Ho flipped up 
which was good for the pot.

Durrrr Gone
Level 5
: 125/250, 0 ante
We don't have the details, but we thought all you "durrrr" fans would like to know that Tom Dwan has been eliminated from the tournament.
Hawrilenko Crippled
The button raised and a short stacked Matt Hawrilenko three-bet from the small blind. The button called as the players saw a 
flop where Hawrilenko led out and received a call. On the 
turn, Hawrilenko led out again but this time was answered with a raise. He called and the 
river went check-check. Hawrilenko turned over 
which was no good against his opponent’s 
.

Jimmy Fricke raised from middle position and was met with a reraise from Liz Lieu in late position. The cutoff, button, and big blind all made the, as did Fricke. Five players saw the

Fricke checked, Lieu bet, the cutoff raised, and Fricke decided to get out of the way. Lieu made the call and then check-called a bet on the 
river. The cutoff showed 
for a flopped set and Lieu quickly mucked.

A Pair of Threes Just Don't Cut it

. Ramdin tapped the table for a check, Corkins then sent out a bet. Ramdin made the call.
The dealer burned and turned the . Ramdin continued his non aggressive play and checked again. Corkins again bet hoping for a fold, but to his surprise he found himself being raised. Corkins made the call.
The

flop. The big blind then led out on the 
turn, Mizrachi raised, and the big blind called, leading to the on the river. Both players checked and the big blind revealed 
for a pair of jacks.
