    Steal, Re-Steal, Re-Re-Steal?

    In a hand that is destined not to make the ESPN television production of this tournament, Billy Kopp opened from middle position with a raise to 450,000. Action moved next to Ben Lamb, who reraised to 1.375 million. That reraise drew folds from Kevin Schaffel and Jordan Smith. Small blind Jeff Shulman did the exact opposite -- he moved all in. Everyone else folded, allowing Schuman to add 2 million chips to his stack without taking a flop.

    Lamb Gives Railbirds Reason to Cheer

    Ben Lamb put his foot on the gas and never took it off. He opened preflop for 515,000 and was called by small blind Kevin Schaffel. Schaffel check-called 625,000 on a flop of {K-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. The turn was a third diamond, the {J-Diamonds}, drawing a hush over the gallery.

    Schaffel checked to Lamb a second time. Lamb announced a bet of 1.35 million and slid the matching chips into the mdidle of the table. His railbirds got rowdy with cheers and applause when Schaffel released his hand.

    Maimone Has Kicker Trouble

    Eric Buchman raised to 525,000 from the cutoff and Nick Maimone called from the big blind.

    The flop came down {K-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}. Maimone checked, and Buchman checked behind. The turn was the {6-Hearts} and Maimone led out for 750,000. Buchman made the call. The river fell the {8-Hearts}. Maimone fired again for 1.25 million and Buchman called.

    Maimone showed {K-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} for two pair, kings and eights, but Buchman showed {K-Hearts} {7-Clubs} for kings and eights... with a higher kicker. Yes, Buchman's seven played to wrest the pot away from Maimone.

    Shulman Raise Gets It Done

    Jordan Smith raised from middle position to 525,000, and Jeff Shulman made the call behind him.

    The flop came all babies -- {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Smith continued with a bet of 775,000. Then Shulman raised to 2,000,000. Smith tanked for a short while, then folded.

    Smith has 16.95 million, and Shulman is up to 14.2 million.

    With Slash, Duff and Adler all on the stage I guess that begs the question, "Where's Axel Rose?"

    I've come to the conclusion that Travis Barker is a better drummer than Ringo.
