Suzuki Rivers the Nuts
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Patrick Suzuki opened to 4,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 12,000 by Ryan Simoneau, who was in the big blind. Suzuki confirmed the amount and put in chips to call. The flop came 
and Simoneau checked to Suzuki, who checked behind.
The turn was 
and Simoneau bet 7,000. Suzuki called. The river fell 
and Simoneau bet another 18,000. Suzuki took about 20 seconds before putting in a raise to 45,000. Simoneau then went into the tank and eventually called.
"I have a straight," said Suzuki as he tabled 
for a rivered Broadway.
Simoneau slammed down 
onto the felt, disgusted at the sequence of events that had just transpired.

Steve Wilkie: 
Zedo needed to fade the two remaining nines in the deck on the river and he did just that as the dealer burned and turned a safe 
and he locked up the double at Wilkie's expense.

Blankenship Runs Kings Into Aces
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
David Blankenship was seen a stack that was around half of what it was before the dinner break. He shared that he ran his pocket kings into Johnathan Dempsey's pocket aces preflop and was unable to get there.
Blankenship still has over 100 big blinds in his stack, meanwhile, Dempsey now finds himself among the big stacks in the room as the field continues to condense.
