Level 2
: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
The finished board read 
and we arrived at the table to see Sam Trickett all in for his last 43,000. Marc-Andre Ladouceur was pondering a call and eventually decided to do so.

Galfond Takes Lead Over Parker
Level 2
: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Phil Galfond limped in on the button, Brock Parker raised to 7,400, and after staring at Parker for 20 seconds, he called.
The flop fell 
, Parker led out for 6,500, and Galfond tank-called.
The turn was the 
, Parker slid out another 16,000, and again Galfond called.
Parker emptied the chamber on the river (
), firing out 37,000, and Galfond moved all in for roughly 20,000 more. Parker called, then began to open his hand (we saw the 
), but quickly mucked when Galfond showed 
for queens and nines.
Parker cashed in one of his lammers, while Galfond has 320,000 in chips in front of him.

Hellmuth Haranguing All Who Will Hear Him
Level 3
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
With a swarm of Brazilian media members assembled to watch their countryman Thiago Nishijima play his Round of 32 matchup, Phil Hellmuth has grown quite agitated by repeated intrusions into his personal bubble.
After asking the floor to direct the press to stand behind Nishijima, rather than hovering over his own shoulder, Hellmuth recently made his opinion clear in the only way he knows how.
"This is ridiculous!" he thundered to a tournament director, "We're playing a heads-up match here. Nothing against Brazil, but start taking press passes away and I bet they'll listen."
After "Red Bull" Robbie Thompson assembled a phalanx of chairs to protect him from the press, Hellmuth has returned his focus to the task at hand, taking a small pot recently after showing down the winner.
An Eight-Bet Shove and a Call
Level 3
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
When we reached the table, there was a four-bet of 30,000 sitting in front of Randy "nanonoko" Lew. Fabrizio Gonzalez proceeded to five-bet, making it 52,000, Lew tanked before six-betting to 80,000, and Gonzalez quickly seven-bet to 111,000.
Lew tanked for 30 seconds or so, then put in the eight bet, moving all in for 230,000. Gonzalez quickly called.
Lew: 
Gonzalez: 
The 
flop gave Gonzalez a freeroll, and the 
on the turn kept his flush odds alive, but the 
bricked on the river, and the two chopped the pot.
All of the chips are on the table in this match.
