double paired the board on the river, Zinno led out for 25,000 and Chidwick made a quick call only to muck when his opponent tabled the 
for a full house.

Thomas Muehloecker was among the first players to hit the rail today, but he re-entered and just took a big chunk off Mike Watson's stack.
The board showed [4Kh8dJh] when Muelhoecker bet 52,500 from the big blind and Watson tanked for a while before calling from the button.
On the river the 
hit and after Muehloecker bet 116,500, Watson let out a sigh. The Canadian pro tanked for quite some time, and shook his head before ultimately putting in the call by tossing a chip forward.
Muehloecker showed 
and Watson mucked his cards, as he's now among the shortest stacks in the room.

From the button, Ole Schemion opened to 12,500 and was called by his fellow German Christop Vogelsang in the small bling. The UK's Scott Margereson called from the big blind, which meant it was three-handed to the 
flop. Both blinds checked to Schemion who bet 18,000, a bet that only called by Vogelsang.
Both players checked the turn, but Vogelsang bet 32,000 on the 
river. Schemion called, but quickly mucked when Vogelsang turned over 
for a straight.
