The overnight chip leader Joseph Ressler and Viacheslav Igin have been playing quite a few pots together at Table #429 and here is the latest installment.
The action folded around to Ressler, who was seated on the button, and he raised to 2,400. Igin was in the big blind and he three-bet to 7,600 and Ressler called. The flop was

was checked through and Igin took the pot holding
; Ressler mucked his hand.

Nam Le and Igor Sharaskin just played for stacks on a flop of 
. Le was holding 
for the nut flush draw and open ended straight draw, and Sharaskin was holding 
for top two pair. But despite Sharaskin having the best hand at that time, Le was actually the favourite. Le did hit one of his outs when the 
hit the turn but the cruel 
on the river gave Sharaskin eights-full and Le was out.

Chino Rheem is not a quiet man, and lucky for us that he isn't. We heard him talking above a haggle of people over at Table #432 and darted over there as fast as we could. Rheem had two short stacks all-in and one of them was Guillaume Darcourt. We saw that Rheem was holding for broadway on a 
board. Rheem moved up to 120,000 and Darcourt and the third player in the hand are out.
