Christopher Brammer opened the betting with a raise to 1,000 from middle position. Nobody wanted to tangle with the talented Brit until the action stopped on Chris Sly in the big blind. Sly called and it was heads-up to the flop.
Sly tapped the table and checked, Brammer continued with a 1,500 bet and Sly let his hand go. Nice and simple, but Brammer will take those all day long if he has to.

Canada's Jason Duval has 77,000 chips and looks to be our chip leader here in Event #28.
Duval has some impressive scores to his name, despite a relatively short live poker career. Among Duval's achievements are an EPT final table appearance, a WPT final table appearance and two cashes at this year's WSOP. If Duval continues this kind of form then he will be adding a third cash to that ever-growing list by the time this tournament ends.

We found Phil Collins with a raise to 2,700 in front of him, likely from reraising a player who had acted in front of him. The player to his left, on the button, had moved all in and he covered Collins. Collins went into the tank for a couple of minutes, and he finally called off his last 9,000.
Collins:
Button:
Collins was in bad shape, and the flop didn't bring much hope. He managed to spike the on the turn, however, and the river sealed his double up.
Meanwhile, Randy Lew was tanking with a tough decision of his own at a nearby table. Lew was also looking at an all-in bet from an opponent who covered him, this time with all the cards out. The board read , and Lew agonized over the decision. He laughed softly and shook his head, finally folding.
