It was a bad spot for Lim and he seemed to know his days were numbered as he stood from his chair and prepared to make his exit. The 
flop was about as dry as they come, while the turn left Lim in need of a seven on the river. The dealer burned one last time and put out the .

Phil Collins is one of two members of last year's November Nine that are still alive (Sam Holden is the other), and he has just won a nice pot to start the day as he looks for back-to-back main event cashes.
Action started with Daniel Dizenzo raising to 10,000 from the hijack, and it folded to Collins in the big blind. He tossed out a three bet of 30,000, and Dizenzo made the call. The flop ran down , and Collins continuation bet to 20,000. Dizenzo made the call, and the turn brought the .
Collins tanked for about 90 seconds before deciding what to do, and at one point, Dizenzo confirmed with the dealer that Collins hadn't checked at one point. The dealer said it was still on Collins, and eventually, he slid out a stack of orange T5,000 chips for a bet of 100,000. This represented more then half of his stack, and most of Dizenzo's. He tanked for a good while as well, eventually folding his hand after about three minutes of thinking.
Collins is up to 280,000 after that hand, which is right around the average stack as we approach 700 players.

Derek Mymko started the day with just 25,000 in chips and would be needing a double or triple as soon as possible if he wanted to make the money. Well, that's exactly what has just happened.
We arrived at Table 377, with Mymko all in preflop against William Katona and the big-stacked Sean Rice. Mymko watched on as Katona led for 26,000 on the 
flop. Rice got out of the way and the at-risk Mymko and Katona would turn their hands over.
| Mymko: |
| Katona: |
The on the turn was exactly what Mymko was looking for and with the on the river changing nothing, Mymko raked in the triple. At this point, Rice said, "I had a king!"
"Well, thanks!" Mymko said to Katona who saved his life by betting his opponent out of the hand.
