Joe Hachem
Apparently Joe Hachem knew what he was doing when he asked the floor to go and find Thomas Boekhoff, who accidentally took an early dinner break. Just a few minutes after Boekhoff returned to the table, Hachem was able to get young Thomas to pay off an 85,000 river bet on an board. When Thomas called, Joe tabled for a full boat and Thomas instantly mucked his cards, leaving himself with just 210,000. Hachem now sits with just over 900,000 in chips and with the way he's been accumulating chips, expect him to join the millionaires club sooner than later.
Eric Liu

Antonio Esfandiari
Stig Top Rasmussen and Antonio Esfandiari have been battling with each other on the felt for several days and today's action between the two has been frantic.
In a recent hand, Rasmussen completed from the small blind and Esfandiari raised it up to 40,000 from the big blind. Rasmussen then re-popped it from the small blind, making it 110,000 to go.
Esfandiari went into the tank, "You are tough, my friend," he sighs. After several minutes of thought Esfandiari says "What the hell..." before putting in a fourth bet making it an additional 230,000.
Rasmussen goes into deep deliberation, looking at Esfandiari's remaining 580,000 chip stack. "I have the best hand," quips Rasmussen before eventually folding his cards, flashing an ace in the process.
In a fascinating hand and duel between these two, this round goes to Esfandiari.
