With action back to Myhre, he called Noh's raise. The player in between also called to a flop of
. Myhre led into his opponents and was called only by Noh.The turn was a third club. Myhre bet 18,500, putting Noh deep into the tank. He ultimately announced all in and was snap-called by Myhre.

Noh:
Myhre had flopped a set of kings against Noh's pocket aces;Noh had the best flush draw on the turn along with the two remaining aces to overtake Myhre. The river was black, but it was a spade -- the
. The stacks were counted down with Myhre having Noh just barely covered. As a result of that massive pot Myhre has 110,000 chips and Noh is out!
The flop fell down
and following a check from Huntly, Neilson fired out 2,825 and was called in one spot before Marcus commented, "I could have gone broke with this hand" as he tossed his cards into the muck.Huntly followed suit and both Neilson and his opponent checked the
on the turn to see the 
land on the river and another check from Neilson follow.His opponent mulled for a little before sliding out a bet of 3,200.
"Show me Ace-Queen or Queen-Jack" stated Neilson as he made the call, only to see the
of his opponent chop with his 
."Wow . . . I had Jacks" stated Marcus as he shook his head in disbelief at a possible double or triple up.
"What were you smoking?" asked Huntly.
"Do you call my shove preflop?" directed Marcus towards Neilson.
Neilson looked Marcus' stack up and down before responding with the answer Marcus didn't really want to hear - yes!
In a four-way pot that checked to the river,
, Huntly was the only person to call the small blind's bet of 1,600. He pitched his cards into the muck in disgust when the small blind turned over 
for a set of sevens. Huntly then added, "I don't know why I don't believe ya," suggesting he has paid off the particular player several times today.
Preflop, an unknown player opened with a raise to 800 from middle position. Action then folded around the table to Moneymaker in late who reraised to 2,800. A couple more folds brought the action around to Rahme in the small blind and he made the call. The original raiser let go of his hand, sending Rahme and Moneymaker heads-up to the
flop. A pair of checks prompted the dealer to burn and turn the
. Rahme checked, Moneymaker bet 3,500 and Rahme shoved all in for 12,000. Moneymaker insta-called and tabled a pocket pair of kings for top set. Rahme had the best of it though, as he turned over 
for Broadway. With one card left to sweat, Rahme needed to dodge a jack, an eight, a ten and the case king in order to stay alive and double up, but the deck sided with Moneymaker, delivering the
on the river giving him a full house.The elimination hoisted Moneymaker well over the 45,000 mark in chips.
It could be that the mix of playing styles yesterday was more explosive and that today's players veer more towards the TAG end of the scale. But once we get into the next level, in about twenty minutes, we expect that the pace of play -- and eliminations -- will pick up significantly.
that held against Moneymaker's on a board of 
.Moneymaker let loose a deep, disappointed sigh after paying of 18,575 to his opponent. It seemed to say, "Here we go again. Back to work."
Marcus joined 2005 WSOP Champion Chris Moneymaker while Neilson sits with fellow Australian Kristian Lunardi.
However it is the pairing of Huntly with James 'Welcome Back' Potter that is of the most interest.
"Just when I thought this table couldn't get any better!" uttered Potter as he leant back on his chair with a huge smile on his face.
Not only are Huntly and Potter good friends hailing from the same state back in Australia, but they are also bunking together here in Macau.
Table Two now has to put up with not just one . . . but two Aussie larrikins for the remainder of the day!
Good Luck!

flop. When the turn fell , Molin led out for 2,200, roughly the size of the pot. His opponent called.The river fell
. Molin counted down his whole stack of 7,125 and pushed it into the middle. His opponent thought things over for roughly a minute and then announced a call."Nuts?" another player at the table asked Molin.
"No, I'm going home," Molin replied. He tabled
for ace-high. His opponent turned over 
."Nines?" a stunned Molin asked. "Wow." He slapped himself in the face, gathered his belongings and headed for the rail.
