Not So Great Scott
Andrew Scott popped by in the break with his bad news. He busted when he flopped second set but ran into an opponent holding top set. Unlucky.

James Concedes the River
After Kenna James fired a healthy bet on the turn with the board reading 
and was called by his opponent in Seat 1, James slowed down and checked the 
river. His opponent did the same and James showed 
for a missed flush. Seat 1 then rolled over 
to take down the roughly 10,000 pot.
James dropped to 23,000 on the hand; meanwhile, we noticed Jeff Rossiter sitting nearby and grabbed his chip count . . . 25K. You may remember Rossiter as last year's third-place finisher.

Rettenmaier Stuck in Reverse
Action folded to Marvin Rettenmaier in the cutoff and he opened for 850, which the button and both blinds called. Action checked to Rettenmaier on the 
flop and he promptly bet 1,225, which only the small blind called.
Both players proceeded to check down the 
turn and 
river, and neither player was quick to turn over their hand. Finally Rettenmaier relented and rolled over 
for a pair of fours, but it was no good against the 
of the small blind.

Dempsey Can't Gain Any Traction
A player in middle position opened for 800 and James Dempsey looked him up from the button. The MP player then bet 1,300 on the 
flop, Dempsey called, and the dealer burned and turned the 
. The MP player bet again, this time 2,000, and again Dempsey called.
Both players checked the 
river and the MP player turned over 
for a flush.Dempsey was left shaking his head as he tossed his hand to the muck.

Hating the Turn
Masaaki Kagawa is acquiring chips like he does money. He raised from first position and was called by Jason Martin and Carmelino Pappalardo en route to a 
flop.
The Japanese business man and poker enthusiast led for 1,400 and was check-raised up to 2,800 by Pappalardo after Martin had folded. Kagawa wasn't finished though and put in a reraise to 5,800. Pappalardo called quickly to see the 
turn where he checked.
Kagawa took his time before counted out and threw 5,500 into the middle. Pappalardo dwelled, mumbled something about a set and folded.

Obrestad Playing Her Usual Style
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Annette Obrestad is known for her agressive style and we just caught a hand where she confirmed that image. The Norwegian poker superstar raised to 600 pre flop and got called by the player on the button.
The flop came down 
and Obrestad fired out 800, her opponent called. On the turn the hit and Obrestad bet out 2,200. Her opponent wasted no time calling and the river brought out the . Both players checked and Obrestad tabled 
. Her opponent shook his head as Obrestad raked in the pot. She is doing very well while her neighbor, Shawn Buchanan, was very frustrated with his own play. He is down to just 5,600 chips.
Crocodile Rock
Billy "The Croc" Argyros has late registered for the tournament and has taken his seat over at Table 27. The bad news? He is out of position against Aaron Benton and Tristan Wade.

Strong Button Play from Rettenmaier
JP Kelly's table was the lone table on the other side of the room, engulfed by small stakes cash games. Thankfully, it's now broken and we can focus on our attentions on this area. Unfortunately for him he's been moved next to the active Marvin Rettenmaier, but at least he is to his left.
This doesn't help much though when one enters a hand from the small blind. There was a raise to 1,500 (yes a 5x) from a player in the hijack, a bet that Rettenmaier and both blinds called.
The flop came 
and the action was checked to the German on the button who bet 1,125. Kelly was the only caller from the small blind. Both players checked the 
turn before Rettenmaier bet 3,325 on the river when Kelly checked to him again. The Brit conceded defeat and folded.

Glazier Runs Into Quads
We didn't catch all the action, but we heard the rail going crazy over by Table 31 and made our way over. We discovered that Jackie Glazier had held 
on a 
board but had run into the 
of Ryan Hong. The money got in on the river, and Hong doubled to approximately 54,000 while Glazier, who was gracious in defeat, was left with 8,000.
