Deported from Value Town
board, he must have been delighted to see opponent Justin Smith not insta-call. But despite the dwell, he did call, and indeed had the better hand with 
against the Irishman's 
. Consequently, Magill drops to 6,000.
Focused on the Task at Hand
With both Brandon Adams and Antonio Esfandiari receiving massages across opposite ends of the table - a rubdown symmetry of sorts -, they decided to place various wagers based on the answers of the masseuses.
"How many times," started Esfandiari after confirming with the masseuses that they didn't mind playing along, "do you think she has given out her telephone number to an interested party? And it can't be business related."
Mortensen-t Feltwards
Mortensen called a raise preflop to see a
flop, on which he check-called another bet, bringing the 
on the turn. Now once more, check-call 2,500, and then a final opportunity arose to check the 
river. He did so, then went into the tank as his opponent bet 6k. This was a fairly big chunk of his remaining chips, and he really gave it some time before making a fourth and final call.His opponent showed
for the flush, which turned out to be a similar though obviously superior hand to Mortensen's 
which he flashed the table before shaking his head and throwing them away.
Table Tuned to Radio Esfandiari
Just now he called a Nik Persaud preflop raise from the blinds and checked the
flop. "You're gonna bet about 850, and I'm gonna instacall," predicted Esfandiari.
Proving him wrong, Persaud checked - and again on the
turn before giving it up without a fight to Esfandiari's 1,025 bet on the river.

Just William Left on River
Jesper Hougaard made the initial preflop raise, called by Liu and Thorson. On the
flop, Liu bet 850 and only Thorson check-called.They both checked the
turn and on the 
river Thorson checked again. When Liu bet 2,550, he swiftly moved all in for around 6k, and Liu gave it up just as swiftly. Back to nearly 12k now...
Disaster for Negreanu
On the Up - Leaderwatch

Shaun Deeb - 47,000
Michael Binger - 42,000
Noah Boeken - 45,000
No sign of a runaway lead yet, however - the day is still young and playing no hands at all would probably have left your stack by this point with barely a dent.
