We walked by David Levi and Tom Schneider's table, and saw that both had a ton of bets in front of them. We saw that the board had completed , and that Levi had fired out one more bet on the river. Schneider was already in the tank when we got there, and he thought for about another 60-90 seconds after we arrived, then eventually tossed the call in.
Levi tabled for top full house, and Schneider simply shook his head before mucking, saying "I flopped a set". After that pot, Levi is up to 72,000, while Schneider drops to 62,000.
We just caught George Danzer in a couple of hands that saw his stack go up and down like a yo-yo. The first hand was in Stud-8, and we didn't catch the action until the final card was dealt.

On the final street, Danzer put out a bet, and MacPhee raised it up. Danzer tanked for quite some time, before ultimately electing to call, but he mucked when MacPhee rolled over for trip fives. That boosted MacPhee up to 93,000, while knocking Danzer down to 33,400.
A few hands later, in the Omaha-8 section, we saw Danzer heads up with Justin Smith on a flop. Danzer led out, and Smith raised it up. Danzer made the call, and the hit the turn. Danzer check called a bet from Smith, and the river brought the . Both players checked, and Danzer rolled over for jacks and deuces. It was good enough, as Smith released his hand. That knocked Smith down to 39,500, while Danzer jumped back up to 58,000.
Mike Gorodinsky has been hovering around the top of the chip counts for most of the day, but we just spotted the end of a hand where he revealed a surprising wheel in Stud-8. After he scooped the giant pot, we pegged his now ginormous stack at around 180,000, which is nearly double anyone else in the room.
