After two recent casualties took to Twitter for a quick postmortem of their respective bustout hands, we learned that Loni Harwood just chipped up in a major way by busting fellow pros Chris Moorman and Alex Rocha.
According to Harwood, she opened to 2,800 from under the gun and called when Alex Rocha three-bet jammed for his last 16,000. Harwood found herself dominated with against Rocha's , but "Luscious Lon" found the lady she needed on the turn.
Soon afterward, Harwood went toe-to-toe with the best player to ever grind the virtual felt, opening to 3,000 before engaging in a raising war with Moorman. He popped it to 6,800, Harwood four-bet to 19,000 and Moorman five-bet shipped for his last 75,000 or so with Harwood making the call to put him at risk.

The board ran out clean for Harwood's tens and with that she sent two players to the rail while building a big stack early on in the day.
Miles Austin, who spent all of his NFL career on the Dallas Cowboys, probably doesn't know that Matt Glantz is a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan. Glantz, more than likely knows who Austin is though. The two recently battled in a small pot that saw Glantz check-fold to Austin's 8,000 river bet on a board. There was 24,000 in the pot at the time so Austin adds a bit to his stack and is slightly above where he was to start the day. Glantz is also on the upward tick with nearly 20,000 more than he started the day with.

The flop came to give Waxman a huge lead. The on the turn gave Philachack some outs to deliver the knockout blow to Waxman but the river would change nothing other than the chips changing hands.
We passed by the table to catch the tail end of a confrontation between Matt Glantz and Matthew Waxman, with the latter coming up on the short end of the stick.
The final board and there was a sizable pot already built, one that appeared to contain around 30,000 or so. Glantz held the button and a bet of 17,000 was pushed up near it, as Waxman had checked the river. After finishing up his nutritious breakfast of a banana (paging Harry Kaczka), Waxman made the call to see Glantz roll over the for a turned set.
"Ahh..." said Waxman when he saw the bad news. "If I had to guess a hand there, that's the one. Nice hand sir."

Justin Young opened to 2,600 from late position, and next to act Scotty Nguyen three-bet to 6,600. Young flatted the reraise and the two pros went heads up to the flop.
