Jeffrey Lisandro
Van Marcus seems to have no qualms with educating players at his table. He was all over Daniel Farid after Farid folded on the flop in a hold'em hand to the 375-chip all-in bet of Jeffrey Lisandro.
"There was 2,800 in the pot! Mathematically you have to call!" said Marcus.
"Not with a pair of threes," Farid responded.
"It doesn't matter. Mathematically you have to call if you want to win this tournament." He then pointed at Lisandro. "One time in your life, tell me. Wasn't that a bad fold?"
Lisandro nodded in agreement that he thought it was a bad fold.
A discussion then commenced about how universities should start offering a course called, "The Mathematics of Poker" so that players like Farid could bone up.

Angelakis:
Furniss:
The turn and river came , giving Furniss a full house and the entire pot. He's up to 4,100.
Angelakis busted out of the tournament two hands later.
Maurie "The Master" Pears is on the rail at the hands of Michael Guzzardi.
Pears' two pair of sevens and fives with a busted low draw, was unable to beat Guzzardi's two pair of nines and threes as Guzzardi skyrockets up to 27,000.
With Pears now on the rail he can turn his focus to tonight's Australian Hall of Fame Induction and Presentation occurring during the dinner break.
